It depends on why one remains chaste, I think. My mom says a distressing number of her peers spent so much time thinking of sex and sexual feelings as something "bad" to ignore and resist, that when they got married they had a horrible time being sexual with their husbands. There was pain and disgust and all kinds of things which made real emotional intimacy impossible, just when it was most needed. She has several friends who never liked it, and a couple who took years and years before it was pleasurable. Sad.
If sex is seen as something pleasurable which one is choosing not to engage in for personal reasons, then there is less chance of this happening again on such a wide scale like it did in the '50s.
I have nothing to say about either cock or purity.
The only two collections new out today that won't end up in the Fug blog. Here and here. Though Lhuillier has some decent fancy dresses in the second half.
In Not Pretty Things I Can't Afford News: My Boss has this habit of talking really loudly, noticably raising his voice if he and someone else are talking at the same time. I hear him doing it on the phone right now, and it's driving me crazy.
Aren't we cute??
Eeee. Dah. Buh. That cute.
Ooh, cuties, ChiKat! I peeked at the other pics, too, and Jen reminds me of SA, a little. And Matt has a William H. Macy thing going on.
ChiKat, he reminds me of someone, and I can't think of who.
Aren't we cute??
Oh, you most certainly are.
Surgery and recovery-ma for Vortex's godson.
Chikat, SO CUTE! I love that picture.
I tend to just not have regrets, period, because everything that I've done or experienced, good or bad, has lead me to a specific place, and I'm kind of happy with that place.
Even small things aren't worth regretting. Like, I'd regret buying this house instead of house X, except that I have no idea if the series of events that lead to me being involved in online fandom would have happened if I hadn't been specifically here, and no idea if I'd be having the kid I'm having in ten and a half weeks if the location had shifted.
I'm well aware that many of my choices have been not-so-smart, but they've made me who I am today.
