Ofcourse I have [platonic] girlfriends (as I assume that’s what you meant). But I’m not attracted to any of them. Those to whom I’m attracted are treated very differently. You can interview as many guys as you like. If they’re being honest with you, you’ll discover the same thing. However, if you’re the object of their affection, don’t expect any true confessions. It doesn’t bode well for their ulterior motives.

For me personally, I don’t regard married women - even though it doesn’t mean that there isn’t an automatic sexual analysis process that kicks off anyway. Men have no control over that process. That’s just our killer instinct going live.

I don’t usually care what religious people think, because it isn’t designed to be logical.

The reason why we have this tenet of waiting until marriage to have intercourse came from the age where women were regarded as fixed assets. They could be bought, sold, traded, offered as an item of a peace treaty between warring nations and otherwise used as just another commodity. Ofcourse, just like dried goods, these women had to be virgins. If not, the person offering the woman would be considered as offering her as a slap in the face. This was often the basis for a war.

…6,000 years later, the practice becomes inculcated into religion and people have forgotten why. You must also understand that in ancient cultures, it was common for young women to be married from their early teens - not waiting until their mid-twenties or 30’s to get married. Furthermore, all of the other reasons against pre-marital sex have been defeated with modern technology (like latex condoms and contraceptive pills). When you take all that into consideration, you’re not left with much else but an empty, meaningless, ancient tradition.

Interesting lil thing.
