I too talk with my "kids" --now 18, and 21 yo young men--about being safe, responsible, etc. I don't know the details of their escapades...although I imagine there have been some! I was usually the one to bring up the topic--usually in humor, but to open the door for questions or discussions. I hope it has made them responsible guys.
As for me, I met my future husband when I was 18--he is my one and only. I waited awhile, and was very glad that I did. I have a hard time with the thought of having sex without an emotional and trusting commitment from the other person. That is not a judgement on anyone--it is just me.
THat's beautiful. I am happy for you.:)

I need to join the club noul and laur. I'm 21, and yes, I'm still a virgin. Heck, I've never even had a boyfriend, which is just plain sad, but life really hasnt been right for dating, much less anything else. Doesnt help I'm a homebody or working lol. I think sex is something that should be shared between two people when they are ready, be it in marriage, serious long term relationship, ect. I just dont think I'd be able to do something that personal with some random guy or someone that doesnt mean anything to me.

*doesnt feel bad knowing there is a virgin club now* LOL

No, but for me personally, at 21 not even been on a date or had a serious realtionship, to be honest, you start thinking something is wrong with you . I've never been a social person to begin with, and I know its just me having stupid self issues, but it does make you go " whats up with that". Sometimes I think I missed the memo on how to socialy interact lol

hell, you guys should be proud of yourselves...i'm proud of the fact that i waited til i was 18 and waited til it was with someone who meant a lot to me.

my boyfriend has been with a lot of girls in the past....his senior year in high school he slept with 17 girls, i'm sure he didn't even know some of their names. he lost his virginity at 16 to an older, abusive girlfriend, though he did love her. most of the time he acts **** proud of his reputation in high school. we have a guy friend, James, who is 17 and waiting for love before sex. Zach is constantly telling him "go get laid, take advantage of being single, you're only young once", etc.

last night James told me when they were alone, Zach said he wishes he waited to lose his virginity with me, and told James he's right about waiting for love. I don't know why Zach didn't want to tell me this, but it meant a lot, and probably meant more that he said it to James and not me, because I know he meant it.

I am still a virgin. I am 19, I have never had a boyfriend and I have never been kissed. When I was in high school I was extremely self conscientious. I wouldn't say I am anymore, but I am just too busy unlike my friends to date or even try finding anyone lol. I have school and work, and pets. But someday when I find the right guy....

My husband was 33 & I was 29 when we married each other. Growing up, I had always strongly believed that sex is a sacred thing that is reserved only for married couples. I was blessed when I found someone who shared the same belief & feeling as I do about the subject. We dated each other for 3 1/2 years before we got married, during that times, we encountered countless temptations - but with God's grace & our utmost love & respect for each other, we were able to overcome every one of them

I am proud to say that we waited until our wedding day to give each other the best gift which were ourselves, and that we were each other first, and will be each other's last and only partner.

If I had to do it all over again, I would not change a thing. I would still wait until I get married to give myself to someone.

To the very few who're still waiting for that special moment.. I wish you lots of inner strength, great courage, an unfailing determination, and ultimate love & respect to yourself and your future husband to be able to wait until you're married. You will never regret that decision.

There is NOTHING wrong with you, just ask your friends. It just means that you haven't found the opportunity to get into a relationship. Same here. And while there may be plenty of things wrong with me.. being a virgin is not one of them. :p Any sex I have will be great - maybe not the first time, but there will be unlimited opportunities to practice, LOL! I don't consider it a bad thing that I haven't done that, and neither should you. :)

M&M.... question for you.... what about gay couples whose marriages are not recognized by our laws? :(

M&M's Mommy... I for one, am a person that never ever wants to be married. I respect those that like the idea but I really can't see myself ever being a wife. I also don't really want a terribly serious relationship in the forseeable future, come to think of it I don't even want a boyfriend.
I just am not mad on making my decisions around other people. There are a lot of things i want to do on my own, like live out of my car for a couple of years. By myself apart from my dogs.

17. Was gonna wait til I was married and all that good stuff but marriage is a long ways off and I got impatient. Was worth it though. Not the best ever but you gotta start somewhere.

My mom was always very open with me. When I started highschool my mom told me that anytime I wanted to go on the pill I could just simply ask her and she would make the appt for me... no questions asked. and even though i wasn't have sex ... and I told her as much... I asked a little while later to start BC pills.

My dad wasn't QUITE as open about it lol but I think that is to be expected between a father and daughter rather than a father and son. Brian and I have agreed that I will do the major part of the sex and development talk with any girls we have and he will do that sex and development talk with the boys. I just think it is more comfortable for a girl to talk to her mom rather than her dad and vice versa. I know I didn't want to talk to my dad about period problems lol he's never had one so why would I expect him to know what to tell me?

Now sex is an open subject with both my parents and even my step father... now it's mostly a topic of joking like when i wasn't feeling well and my mom and step dad said "are you sure you aren't pregnant?" and Brian yelled out "You have to have SEX to get pregnant" LMAO we all cracked up. Now of course he is exaggerating :p lol

I will admit that I did go through a really reckless phase but that was not because my parents weren't open and honest with me about sex. It was a completely different reason and I have learned a great deal from that.... plus I was over 18 at the time this started.

I can only hope that Hannah and I will have such an open relationship and that I can make her comfortable enough to come and talk to me about these things.

Not all churches don't recognize gay marriage. I know a few in BC that fully support homosexuality.

I said laws. Not churches. I know some churches recognize it, and you can have a ceremony anyhow, but it isn't recognized by law in the US.. except California (woo! it's new) and Massachusetts.
