      I’m also not convinced that teaching your kids that sex is a non event is a good idea either.

      Also I’m confused about what’s wrong with the Honda civic, if you got one with all the optional extras it would be quite expensive, not that matters, but it’s just a weird vehicle to have chosen to indicate lack of money. Should have gone with something like a Nissan Micra, it would have still been the stupid take, but at least it would have made sense.

        I see it kinda the same way as anything else, say, riding a bicycle: something normal, that is likely going to be part of your life and that you’ll enjoy doing, but don’t really need to if you don’t want.

        Sure you’ll remember your first bike fondly (or not) but you can have others and your most memorable memories are most likely from the trips you’ll take later.

    Actual sex ed is, as usual, the answer to these kinds of situations. I’d guess way more critically so for the Civic boy than Pony’s daughter, since Pony seems open to actually discussing some shit with her daughter, especially if Civic boy actually gives a fuck about virginity.

    …oh, and guillotine construction. Definitely don’t forget the guillotine construction.

        Based on my personal experience with misandry, yeah.

        Not all women asking why are men e.g. insecure about penis size, are shaming men for their penis size. As most women aren’t misandrists.

        But all women shaming men for e.g. penis size, turn around and ask why, and are really upset about misogyny, while happily engaging in misandry.

        Some men do it too. Obviously.

    What a stupid take.

    Virginity is special because it’s your first time doing something very intense, intimiate and potentially painful and overwhelming. You need it to be with someone who cares about you so they can make it a good experience. It’s not some victorian-purity BS, it’s actually practically sound.

      Disagree, there is nothing special about virginity. I was 18 and horny, I just wanted to get some dick so I did.

      It should at a minimum be with someone who also wants you to have fun too, but past that it’s not special at all.

        It’s not special in some cosmic sense. You’re not losing a part of your soul.

        But as the other dude said, you’re experiencing something very intense & intimate for the first time. That moment is significant for the vast majority of people.

          But i think that’s exactly the point being made, there shouldn’t be that much pressure on it because it is very often disappointing. Building it up in your head as a moment that will define you often has no benefit to your life.

          Bible shaggers will disagree for obvious reasons, but nobody is going to them for measured romantic and sexual advice.

          Have sex when you feel ready. Make it special if you want to. No need to make it an implicit societal pressure.

            It’s disappointing because we don’t talk more about what it should be like. We don’t expect men to do better about it. If someone had taught me how important it was and what things were at stake for women’s first time, I’d have done it a lot differently.

            Many women, if not nearly all, carry trauma from their first time as well.

              It should be talked about, in that we agree. Sex ed should include what to do, what to expect, and how to have fun as well as protecting oneself.

              I am also a woman and I have no trauma from my first time. It was with my bf at the time, but it still wasn’t anything special.

                  Consider the consequences of associating what you consider a defining moment of your sexual identity with trauma, forever.

                  Consider then, a mindset where that moment does not define your sexual identity.

                  In which scenario would you expect to feel better.

                  What you’re saying is how to deal with an event after it happens, the topic here is how to shape your expectations before the event, to avoid a worse fallout. Regardless of how negative the experience is.

          Again, disagree. The average is not much younger than I was, 17 is closer to average (at least in the US). And I didn’t say it shouldn’t be with someone you care about, I said, there is nothing special about virginity.

              I’m not going to argue with another woman just because I disagree, just know that I’m not that much of an outlier and virginity doesn’t have to be some special thing. It’s just penis in vagina or other variations of genitals that one’s satisfy sexual orientation. Not all women carry trauma from the first time having sex, I carry no trauma other than he couldn’t finish because he was nervous.

              If we stop treating it like it’s something special and instead as a natural part of life, maybe people can talk about it more openly instead of treating it like it’s a taboo subject.

            So for you karaoke and being internally penetrated is similar, that’s fine. But I’m assuming you have the command of your senses to realize that this is not a normal point of view, peobably not a healthy one either.

              Similar in that they can both be, your words, “intense, intimiate and potentially painful and overwhelming.”.

              I’m going to argue that the “normal” point of view that holds losing your virginity as a big fucking deal (pun intended) is in fact unhealthy. It’s often bundled up with patriarchy. It really doesn’t need to have all the brouhaha. That creates a lot of misery and hangups.

              You’re not proving that it should be a special case. You’re just acting like it’s self evident.

              Incidentally,

              You need it to be with someone who cares about you so they can make it a good experience

              Also applies to karaoke.

              So I don’t believe you when you say

                  You’re doing a bad job of arguing. You made a claim. I offered a trivial counter. You’re not updating your claim. You’re just saying “nuh-uh”.

                  You could try arguing that the degree is different, but as someone said that’s not true for everyone. Some people are really casual about sex! From the start! And some people would never, ever, do karaoke.

                  Even if you were factually correct (you are not) your argument is structurally unsound.

      All due respect, I’m not getting that impression at all. In context it feels more like saying, “Virginity is bullshit, don’t save yourself for Prince Charming–go ahead and fuck the Civic owner with the small dick, you can’t lose anything by it!”

    She and I could get married, but I’m spoken for. This is the kind of attitude I think mothers should teach daughters. “You’ll fuck (but be safe). He’ll also be inexperienced (still be safe). You’ll find out about good sex as an adult (don’t stop being safe!). And when you’re at the point that safety isn’t a concern, well… heh. Don’t worry about that for now.”
