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.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I made sure this was included in our wedding ceremony. *g*
Us too.

ChiKat, he reminds me of someone, and I can't think of who.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aren't we cute??
Oh, you most certainly are.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Thanks, y'all!
Jen reminds me of SA, a little.
Yes! Quite a lot in real life, actually.
And Matt has a William H. Macy thing going on.
Lil' bit, yep. He's a doll, too. And, he told me that I had a great ass, so I'm in love with him.

Oh! And Teppy? You can't see in the picture. But he (the BF) has big hands. Nice, solid, big hands. Yum....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But what if it isn't about "deprivation and denial and guilt" to the people involved? What if they see chastity as a rational choice (which it can be) and one their god approves of (which it also is, though their god may not = my god or your god or The God)?
Like you, I have a problem with people being made to feel dirty for being human. But the choice to only have sex in marriage, if freely entered into, is as valid as the choice to sleep with a different person every day for 75 years, or anything in-between.
I'm overstating my case somewhat. Obviously, I respect Nilly's choices in the matter. Most people aren't Nilly, though. And I don't think it's driven out of that kind of thoughtful spirituality, but social pressure and shame. Theoretically? Yes, you're right. Obviously people differe and can make that kind of choice. Historically, in real terms? It's hateful. Part of the long tradition of Christian shame about the body and sex.
And as noted, it's not in the Old Testament and I don't think it's in the Gospels. I blame Paul.
