Do you practice abstinence, and if so, for what reason... I havent had sex in almost 2 years, and it feels a little weird at times, but I'm fuctioning quite well...surprising at the least. The reason why I'm not doing it, is because for one, I just dont need it like I thought I did, and two, I dont want to end up like some my friends and family (I had a cousin who died from AIDS back in 98) and a couple of friends who dealt with STD's, minor, but still STD's, pregnancy, etc...another factor is that I moved back home with my family, so its easier to hold out on it, plus I have "solo options" if you know what I mean!!! LOL What about you? |
pma 23.02.2006 02:38 |
No, I'm more like "Just do IT" But all my respect to those who decide to act differently. Then again I haven't gotten "any" in a month now. That sure feels like a very long time. And I tend to feel some form of a moral hangover if I indulge in sexual activities with someone who I'm not really seriously considering as a "future option" Oh boy, I surely take life too seriously. |
RETROLOVE 23.02.2006 03:04 |
Oh okay... With me, its the pregnancy factor also...I dont want kids until I'm actually ready for kids!!!...and I would never get an abortion, thats not even an option, and then birth control, the shot, blows you up...so I just dont want to deal with all that, and I dont have a boyfriend right now either... I think most of me not having anyone special in my life right now, is having to do more with myself if anything...I'm very dissatisfield with myself (did I spell that right?) and I just dont have time for the hang-ups, the drama, etc...and even if I did have the time, I just dont feel like dealing with it. People are so conditional! |
Farlander 23.02.2006 10:02 |
I consider any sexual activity outside of marriage to be gravely wrong, and I am not married, so I have never had sex. I will probably never be married either, so I don't waste much time thinking about it. |

My girlfriend got really pissed off at me when she found pictures of Katherine Heigl on my computer. Those were not even porn (just FHM, Maxim stuff), but she didn't speak to me until the next day. The funny thing is that she also has pictures of River Phoenix on my computer. I always joke with her about it. I don't mind her downloading pictures of male celebrities she likes. The good thing is that my girlfriend likes guys who are already dead. (River Phoenix, Brandon Lee, James Dean). So no worries for me for her hooking up with one of them. |

I'm not saying that all girls SHOULD remain virgins until marriage, but it's admirable that someone has the intention of saving himself/herself for that special someone. |

How does he know? Has he checked lately? these things go through my mind all the time. 4. Getting pregnant is a no-no for me for medical reasons. It's just too risky even with birth control.

Dear Alli (i.e. Miss James for the newbies), I am very sorry that this person, whose existence I have never acknowledged, managed to hurt your feelings. I am even more sorry if you leave QZ because you can be sure that you will be missed badly by the hardcore members here, me included. When I read this thread I saw it coming that you expose yourself to jokes and mean comments by the scum of this board and sure enough it happened. I wish I could make a difference but only the people who insulted you can apologise and make up for the incredible rudeness. I think an apology is the least they owe you. |
Janet 24.02.2006 15:32 |
I agree with Zeni and Barb. What I also find interesting is that MTT only insulted Miss James, while two other people also claimed that they were abstaining from having sex before marriage. Smacks of someone on this board who has always been somehow threatened by Miss James, for whatever reason. Pathetic. |

I want to say a few words about this. When I first joined Queenzone, I found here a few persons who attacked me for no good reasons. But there were also other persons who defended me, helped me and made me feel welcomed. One of these persons is, obviously, Miss James, one of the best and kindest users on this board. Although we were never in contact, I always enjoyed reading her posts because almost always she had something nice or intelligent to say. Today, I have to read that she decided to leave Queenzone because of an idiot who attacked her for no good reason but to be entertained. And I feel really sad, because it's not the first time that a good poster decide to leave because of an idiot who joined the board to have fun by attacking people. I hope to soon see an apology from this person, although I doubt it. I hope we can find a way to make Miss James come back and I think that a good start would be to make QZ a better place. I have to admit I don't know how to do it. But that's what I would like to see. AC |

And yes, there will always be people who'll look at you like you're selfish or otherwise not 'normal' since you don't want kids - or at least not your own kids. Ignore them like... cabbage. :-) Only you (and your future partner) have any say in it. Never feel guilty. IMO, your last statement sums it up perfectly - "I'd rather help a kid that needs love instead of bringing another into this horrible world. " Bravo. |

Of course, the *nothing* includes actually giving birth and all that jazz...Teachers in my state do not get a paid maternity leave since they have the summers off. The state believes that if you are going to have a child, you should plan to have the child during the summer while you are off. I know it's not a very rational way of doing things, but it is their way of not having to pay for time off. If a teacher does have a baby during a school year, she must save sick days she earns and use those as her maternity leave to get paid. If she has no sick days and has her baby during a school year, she does NOT receive any pay, none. Another option she could take is to take out short term disability insurance BEFORE she were to get pregnant. It costs about $35/month and it only pays her 60% of her normal pay while the time she is off. I'm not sure what other states in the US offer pregnant teachers, but in KY, teachers do not get paid maternity leaves. On another note, teachers do not get paid for the summers off in KY. We do something called equal pay. A teacher in KY works 190 days, so their salary is based on 190 days of work but spread out over 240, the actual number of work days in a year for them. |
