How can you stand it when you meet someone and they want nothing more than your body? Even more, how can you stand yourself when you have to admit that you feel the same? Finding where to draw the line for yourself between relationship and just relations seems to be so difficult for so many people. For others, it’s not even a question, and that makes me question them. There’s one thing for making your first time a first time, though when the number of first times climbs as the number of partners you have does as well, more factors come into play. How can you validate a one night stand, when that’s all it is: one night, and then afterwards you stand alone, yet again. Doesn’t it get lonely? What do you guys think? Is a night of passion worth the memory of it?

Like a Virgin
Monday, February 28th, 2011
At one point, virginity used to be something to be proud of, right, or was I just mistaken? These days, I feel a bit of shame for anyone who says that they are a virgin, but more out of embarrassment for myself then for them, especially when asking for clarification can provide you with a different answer entirely. I always wonder why we have so many definitions of virginity. One part of me thinks it maybe to remain as pure as possible, at least in your own eyes. A fair amount of people throw around the word even if they’ve had sexual encounters, as long as it’s lacking in intercourse. Some to camouflage it out of shame, others to put up an image that allows them to get around and then some. Though, if anything, why attempt to define it when that’s your personal life, your own business. That you need to disguise it, or redefine it just to feel better about yourself is more of an issue than simply being like a virgin. As always, it should be safe. I know, there are people who would have a fit over sex without love, though it happens, as you try to figure out where you stand. I’ve never felt that way, though, if you’re feeling like a virgin, maybe it’s time to think about why you need that halo of protection again.

Sexting
Tuesday, December 14th, 2010
Sexting is widely known among teenagers these days. It is the act of sending sexually explicit messages or images between cell phones. Sexting replaced phone sex since it is thought of being easier. Many teens do not think anything of it. It may be fun at the time, sharing pictures of yourself to your partner. There are singers who made songs off of this topic which also made this topic a big discussion. Sexting may be fun but it does come with consequences. It is easy for the police to find the pictures or getting into someone else’s possession that you might not like. With that problem sexting can be regretted. With the police involved they could count it as a crime such as child pørn. The offending people would probably end up going to court. If the police don’t find it and others do it also can cause another major issue. It can be spread around risking everything. That is why sexting should not always the best idea when talking to someone you love.

Teen Pregnancy
Sunday, October 24th, 2010
The U.S. had the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and births in the western industrialized world. Most young people have sex for the first time at about age 17, but they do not marry until their middle or late 20′s, if ever. In 2006, 59% of teenage pregnancy ended in birth, 27% ended in abortion, and 14% ended in a miscarriage. Also, more than 2/3 of all teenagers who have a baby will not graduate from high school. Many teenage mothers must put their lives on hold to take care of their child. Many don’t return to school after their child is born and live in poverty due to lack of a high school diploma. Every year around 750, 000 teenagers ages 15-19 will get pregnant. This may be because 59% of sexually experienced teen females had a first sexual partner who was 1-3 years their senior and 11% had first partners who were sex or more years older. There are sexual predators on the prowl, looking for underaged girls. As seen on the hit show “Dateline”, sex with a minor is a crime. All these men are doing is aiding women in the U.S. in being number one in such a negative statistic.
