She sure does :)

Welcome back. :rolleyes:

I too avoided this thread as I have all KINDS of opinions on this subject. James, your post is perhaps one of the most honest assesments I've read-KSig-RC, I liked yours as well.

Sometimes it seems like "virginity" is a dirty word or at the least, laughable on GC. In fact, sometimes it sounds like a few of the posters believe they invented sex!
The only thing I would like to add is- experiencing sexual intimacy at such a young age can really be damaging. The body is physically ready, but is the individual mentally prepared? Everything is out of sync. We are physically developing at a younger age, but living longer. On a biological plane, that's a lot of years an individual can be sexually active.(No smart remarks...) When your living in your Mommy's home, and she's feeding you washing your clothes OR when you're away at college and drifting from major to major/bar to bar on your parent's dime, how mature is that? Most come out of it unscathed with geat stories perhaps even their spouse. Others don't fare as well and carry their sexual baggage with them the rest of their lives. Virginity is a "gift" you can only give once-(men and women) I only hope for all, it would be meaningful. I know mine was.

This was a fun thread.

Gee thanks James.

All I can say is, NEVER NEVER NEVER tell the person you're dating or whatevering with how many people you've slept with previously, unless the answer is none and you need them to know that because you're a little scared (which is normal).

One of my college friends was quite the Casanova and married a girl who was somewhat intrigued by this. She bugged him and bugged him to tell her details and then when he did, she got upset and turned it around on him and blah blah blah. It's like she thought it would give her a feeling of power - look, all these girls and I GOT HIM - but it worked out exactly the opposite. The past is the past. Everyone deals with it differently. I know girls who are more screwed up from sleeping with one guy than girls who have slept with dozens, and for guys I'm sure it's the same.
