Observation On Sexual Responsibility
As I was reading online, I clicked on a link that I probably shouldn’t have and this what popped up: “Jordin Sparks makes a virginity vow”. Jordan Sparks is an American Idol winner, as I found out, who wants to wait till marriage to make the sexual leap. With my own personal opinions of this aside, it made me realize something.
Ya know what I think this society lacks? A “I’m not going to be a (excuse my french) slut vow” or in its more politically correct form “I’m going to be sexually responsible vow.”
Right now it seems as if the media is only interested in portraying these two extremes, it would be refreshing to see some stars adopt the middle path of sexual control. But perhaps I am placing to much emphasis on what is being portrayed and what in actuality exists. Although I do believe the media influences people and as such it would be more than useful to have a mature portrayal.
In light of this I’d like to go on the record to say I’d find sexual responsibility more interesting then sexual abstinence or sexual craziness. So come on media, entice me!!!

You got that right. The media does make it look like it is either to much or none at all. I am a middle of the road kind of girl and that aspect should be able to be put out there.

So many people declare “I’m going to save myself for marriage!” And that’s pretty much a sign that either:
a) They’ve been single all their life and are trying to turn that into a “holier than thou” position, or
b) They’ve been such a severe excuse-my-french-slut for so long that they’re starting to feel ashamed of it, and want to pretend that none of it ever happened.
And as a result, I tend to see those people as even worse than the “Born Again Virgins.” At least the BAVs, by calling themselves BAVs, aren’t pretending that their past just somehow never existed. Whereas the “Save themselves for marriage’s” could be hiding anything, from a million failed attempts at finding a significant other due to social ineptitude, all the way to a collection of diseases that would make a septic tank envious. They’ll either get married way before they should, or their wedding night is going to be incredibly awkward, or married to someone they’ve kept a horrible little secret from, who’s about to be receiving 30 million new live-in guests that they can’t divorce.
Sex is healthy! It keeps you thin, young, energetic, and happy! It mellows you out without smoke and hallucinogenics. Taking that step with your significant other raises intimacy with her and holds you two together on a physical, mental, and I daresay even spiritual level.
Of course, you shouldn’t indulge in anything to excess, just like food, caffeine, video games, or even water (look up “water intoxication” if you don’t believe me), but that’s common sense.
All any body ever talks about is save yourself for marriage and do not have sex if you are a teen. The thing that should be taught is if you have sex, play it safe and do not get pregnant or contract a disease. Why ban talking about sex when you know everyone is going to do it. Why say you are going to save yourself for marriage when you know you are going to give in. Talk about safe sex instead of a fantasy is what I feel is appropiate. Right?
