This made me LOL.....
I assumed that by "next step", he meant marriage. But.. who knows?!
Thanks for being proud of me even if I shacked up with my partner on the very first night we met!
But the question on everyone's* mind still is... did you hook up with her on your first date? :P
In the legal world, a contract between two people is in force until one dies.
In my statement of post #245, the relationship between two people having sexual activity with only each other ends with the death of one of the partners. The surviving partner is then released of the obligation of faithfulness and free, if wanted, to seek out a new partner.
Or until all signators agree that the contract is no longer in force. Of course, this is merely talking about marriages, and there's an entire branch of the law created specifically for handling breaches of marriage contracts (divorce law). So
that aspect actually
is a part of the legal world, and doesn't especially need any new advice. People are always gonna be people, after all.
By doing so, irresponsible sex, and the consequences of irresponsible sex, is avoided. Now get your head out of the sand and quit being a disservice to everyone.
Ahahahahahaha...
*ahem*
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
Seriously? The #1 largest consequence to "irresponsible sex" is "having babies". It costs the most (both to the parents and the public). And guess what? Getting married doesn't change that in any way! If I get my girlfriend pregnant and she has a child... that would be no different whatsoever than if I first went down to the courthouse and got a piece of paper saying that we're legally bound together. Because that paper isn't magic. It doesn't
do anything. And it sure as hell doesn't magically give me money for raising a child properly.
Re-read YOUR last line above. It could easily be mis-interpreted to mean just go out and have sex soon. Which is TOTALLY irresponsible. Once again, stop being a disservice to everyone.
How's that irresponsible? People who have more casual sex are less stressed and generally happier with life in general than those who don't.
But that's okay, don't let those cold, hard facts penetrate your warm fuzzy blanket of prudish misconceptions.
EEEKS no. I would like to try my boyfriend out before marriage.
I have a question for you...in your perspective, does learning the character of the other person include kissing, fondling....oral sex (no intercourse)?
Oh, pleeeeease tell me s/he says yes. Please please please. (I doubt he will, but still). That would make everything else so much more amusing.
