Sex is a bit overrated, isn’t it?

Am I the only one who thinks that sex really isn’t that great? Don’t get me wrong, there’s probably no other act on the face of the planet that is as intimate as sex, but it should be used only when the time is right.

I’m sure that we all have that friend who is in a relationship and they are always going on about how great their bedtimes are, but give it a break. Not everyone needs to know whether or not your partner is a good lay.

When starting a relationship, you can’t just jump right into the sex. You have to get to know each other first, and I don’t mean you play a game of 20 questions and then go do the dirty deed.

If it were up to me, I would have to be in a dedicated relationship for about a year. Seems long to you? I don’t care. You can’t just go around giving it up to anything that has a pair of legs. You have to have standards in life.

Not only that, but if you want to prove to someone that you truly do love them, then it doesn’t have to be through sex. In my Oral Communications class, whenever the ladies talk about romance, most of them say “It’s the small gestures that count.”

So do that. Go buy flowers, learn guitar, I don’t know, just do something nice, because if you really do love that person, then you will be able to show it without having to get into bed.

As a freshman college student with a love for RPGs and Doctor Who, my lifestyle screams “virgin.” Do I mind it? Not really. I know that if I roll with the punches I’ll eventually find a nice lady who will get an “Over 9000” reference. Sure it gets lonely sometimes, but then I remember, at least I’m not in some crap relationship with a girl who has an IQ equivalent to that of a walnut.

Now some dudes are probably reading this saying, “Man, you’re messed up in the head. Sex is the greatest thing on the face of the earth.”

Okay, it probably is, but there are so many risks that come with it at the same time. For example, if you decide to get frisky one night, and then your lady-friend comes up to you a few weeks later telling you that she is pregnant, how would you react?

I don’t know about you, but if I had a kid while I was in college, I’d be scared as hell. But that is the true test of manliness right there: whether or not you do decide to stand with her and go through it together. Because if you are one of those dudes that would run for the hills, that’s just not cool, man. It would be people like you that are the reasons for broken homes, damaged childhoods, and teenage cynics. But I’m rambling.

So, ladies, gentlemen, really take this stuff into consideration. I know that hormones can do things to people, but you to think about the consequences and the possible outcomes.
