I'd love to take credit for that quote, but it's just something that popped up on my tumblr dashboard the other day. :P

Another good one recently was "Women are not vending machines you put kindness coins into until sex falls out."

Women...don't understand them a lot but...maybe it's because I can barely look at most of them in the eyes. Maybe it's because I can see in to their souls. Some days, I don't know how I can make the friends that I do. I mostly have guy friends but girls make me nervous...perhaps it's because I locked myself away for four straight months, actually almost dying in the process...weight gain, rotting teeth, sanity slippage happened during those months. I don't really know if I can be in a relationship with a woman because I'm completely nuts! Last year, I locked myself away for SIX months and, you know what? I felt better than the four months I was gone. At least I wasn't rotting away that time. But, women...kind of afraid of them. -sigh- I don't know...maybe it's my crippling anxiety or something but...I actually think women can find people better than me.

Too much emphasis is piled onto sex in relationships, anyway. Personally, I'd be happy just having the niceness reciprocated.

Same here, honestly. Sometimes I find the huge focus on sex in media to be overblown. Then again, I almost never get out of my house anymore, so my interactions with single women in my age range are kinda limited.

Agreed. Just having someone support me would make them a great girlfriend, as far as I'm concerned. I'm certainly in no rush to lose my virginity. I'm one of those old fashioned people who considers it something special.

EDIT:[nja]Yeah, I don't think anyone beats me as far as that's concerned. Never had one and no prospects on the horizon. Unless a miracle occurs, I'm remaining single forever.

@Marcen: I totally get it. I became seriously depressed during high school and began seeing my body as repulsive and unworthy of care. It resulted in me developing some bad habits and poor hygiene. Didn't help that I have bad skin, hair and awful body odor no matter what I try.

@Sereg Oh boy high school. I understand your body thing. I used cologne, underarm, wore clean clothes all the time and I still thought I smelled terrible. Elementary school...I was teased, fine. I never thought I was that good looking. But...high school. I thought everyone hated me. I have friends that I talk to to this very day, to the point where I was at my best friend's house, yesterday, talking to him like I did 8 years ago. I actually kind of get uncomfortable around people because I feel that they can see what I'm worried about. I can do my best to look my best and I still think I look terrible.

@Teeth I don't want to go on blind dates...I'll possibly lose interest.

To me, sex is an important part of a relationship, hell, of my life. "Chastity" to me is not a virtue at all, but a smug expression of false superiority, like declaring yourself better for not playing tennis.

But I don't like how the media treats it either. And the media treats it like a chore, for a woman anyway. 99% of sexualized women treat sex like it's a bad thing, refuse to have anything to do with it, and(as in case with most animes) will downright attack anyone interested in them. But the medium won't stop sexualizing those instead of having someone with a more reasonable outlook. Even the emerging Ethical Slut trope is directed mostly at men like that Jack guy from Doctor Who. Movies even have rules to not have a female character enjoy a sex scene "too much". "Oh she must have it, but she must never like it".

And every, every single damn relationship drama will do everything in its power to prevent a relationship from ever going to that stage(even in implication). One of them will die, they'll break up, or never admit their feelings to each other. Just so it could claim "tragedy" and "purity".

I hate prudes. I hate what they do. I hate how they turn something that should be enjoyable into a "disgusting", "shameful", "wrong" thing to do. I've been raised that way and every day I have to fight those feelings. My girlfriend as well. It took us a long time to open up to each other, but we managed it and to me, it's the single most beautiful thing in the world. And I won't tolerate any jackass badmouthing it.

Obligatory take it to the Nunnery wait that thread no longer exists.

Seriously, though. For a moment, I thought I was reading the Romance thread or something.

Yeah, we're getting a bit off-topic here. For my last two cents, I think that while there's certainly nothing wrong with sex, I also personally think of it as something extremely intimate and relational as opposed to recreational. I definitely agree that it's a good, non-shameful thing and it's up to the individual to decide when to do it, but on the flipside sometimes I think the media goes too far and you end up with "if you aren't getting laid on a bi-weekly basis, there's something wrong with you." Which personally, I find to be bunk. I'm hardly going to stop other people from doing it, though; they aren't me and it's their choice, not mine.

And now on to Something Completely Different.

Knowing Twilight, probably another obscure historical figure.

My first thought was Clopernicus, but fandom definition of clop probably makes that sound like some kind of stripper name. Also, Equestria probably is the center of their universe anyway.

Pretty much what JT said. I see sex as a holy, sacred, special gift meant to bind people together. I'm not a prude because I see sex as wrong or disgusting, I'm a prude (I guess? Assuming you want to call me that) because I don't want something so wonderful tarnished by being used badly.

EDIT: And I'd rather go without than have a watered down version.

I'd love to have a romantic partner(male,female,transgendered,any gender really.I'm fine with em all),not solely for sex.I just want a lover who is willing to discuss are favorite and unfavorite things.A lover who'll love to hang out with me and play games with me.A lover who'll watch stuff with me.A lover who'll truly love me despite my faults.I don't want a lover solely to for sex(In all honesty,I don't really care that much for sex.When I do have sex,I want it to be with someone I truly do love.Besides,I'm too young to be having sex yet.),I'd much rather just cuddle with them.I'm more into cuddling and snuggling.I want lover who'll make me feel un-lonely.

Unfortunately,I can't seem to find that special one.Usually they're already taken or not interested in me.I don't what to do or what I'm doing wrong.I just don't wanna be lonely.

...I'm sorry about that.I didn't mean to monologue about my love life.I just feel so alone sometimes and I really want someone I can just lie my head on snuggle with.I know that sounds stupid,a guy wanting to cuddle more so than sex.But its true.Yeah stupid,right?

I ought to shut up.Probably sounding like a total loser.

No, I totally relate. Sex is like the benefit I want least from my hypothetical future partner. I've even put serious consideration into never having sex with my future wife.

EDIT: I might possibly have had one date before. Not entirely sure if it counts.
