Where you can meet Sexy Adult Single Men and Women from around the world for fun, friendship and love
There was a time when intimacy and sex were reserved for marriage at least for most 'good girls.' Boys and men were more or less expected to seek intimacy and sex before they married (even if they had to pay for it) but women were not.
Women who engaged in sexual activity before they were married were considered 'loose' and looked down on by society in general. Those ideas are still very much alive, well and thriving in many societies today but not in American society. Those ideas were dumped about the same time that 'Woodstock' happened and the average ages of sexually active boys and girls have been dropping steadily ever since.
Promiscuity is at an all time high and so is the frequency of sexually transmitted diseases.
Sometimes intimacy and sex just happens in the heat of the moment without any plans being made in advance. When it does happen like this one or both of the parties involved usually lives to deeply regret the event even if it was consensual at the time.
Having casual and unprotected sex is a very high risk behavior. Even if the female is using birth control, pregnancy can and does occur....not often, of course, but it certainly can. There is no 100% effective method of birth control. Both the male and the female are at risk for contracting a sexually transmitted disease that can affect the rest of their lives.
Intimacy and sex should not be entered into lightly. The man and the woman need to feel at ease with one another. They need to have established a relationship that is based on trust. It is really, really important that they have discussed and been honest with one another about their sexual histories and about any sexually transmitted diseases that they may have at the time or have ever had in the past.
Granted, this is not an easy conversation to initiate nor to participate in but it is one that needs to be held and honesty is essential. Sexually transmitted diseases are so common today that there are even online dating sites that are devoted to people who have herpes, who are HIV positive or who have full blown AIDS. Being honest, in this case, really can be a matter or life or death. It can determine the direction that your life will go and it can even determine whether you will ever be able to bear or father children. Many sexually transmitted diseases, even though they can be cured, leave the patient sterile for life.
Humans are sexual beings. We were born to reproduce and that is what the sex act is designed to do.....create another human being. Of course, every sexual encounter doesn't result in pregnancy. We are too smart to let that happen or at least we are supposed to be. We use protection. Women use birth control pills or patches, men use condoms, all for the prevention of pregnancy. And these measure work quite well most of the time. The thing is that neither of these measures is certain to protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Birth control pills and patches don't claim to and even condoms fail.
Before a couple decides to become intimate and have sex, they should have discussed it openly and honestly in advance of the main event.
