In light of my FMUS1's recent plight, it's my duty to do whatever within my capability to cheer her up and this entry is specially dedicated to her. Due to popular demand, I've decided the first chapter of my "Mondays with Psycho" to be on the topic, sex. As controversial and taboo a topic it may be, it is still an issue that plagues our everyday lives so there's no point shunning it.
We, humans, are created with 2 genders - male or female. The defining difference is definitely the anatomy. To facilitate the understanding of this topic for amateurish readers, the part of the anatomy I am referring to is the genitals - penis and vagina. Have you ever wondered why our genitals are shaped in such a way that one actually complements the other??? The truth is really simple. Sex is a natural oder of life and there's really no use denying it.
Whichever faith or religion you may have, God created us in such a way so that a couple can enjoy the pleasure of lovemaking and bliss of having a family. In his eyes, sex between a loving couple is sacred and untainted. If he wanted it any other way, humans could end up like an ameoba; reproducing by splitting itself without sex.
However, over the centuries, the line has been blurred. Some people dun even know for sure which gender they belong to. Others engaged in casual sex with various partners like there's no tomorrow. In addition, prostitution and pornography are tarnishing the image even further. As such, the natural order has been violated and most people start to see sex as something sleazy and degrading.
At least for me, I still believe consensual sex between a loving couple is part and parcel of a strong relationship. It is scientifically proven that the intimacy actually strengthens the bond between the couple. Hence, I feel that if you are doing it the rightful way with the correct partner, there is really no shame involved.
Having said so, there are many who want a taste of the forbidden fruit but do not have the guts to own up. To me, this sort of behaviour is shameful. If you have the guts to do it, why not the guts to admit it. You could groan and moan as loud as you want during sex but when asked if you ever had sex before, you could give a blatant lie by saying no. This is like a slap on ur partner's face! So are you implying that having sex with that partner is filthy by denying!!! I am not saying you have to spill the beans on the details when questioned but at least have the decency not to lie. Dun fricking portray urself as an innocent and pure person when the truth is, you are far from it. Walking away or simply ignoring to answer that question is the slightest respect you can give to both yourself and your partner.
If you are really afraid of coming under the scrutiny of others, uphold your chastity and keep your virginity till you are ready to embrace sex with the right frame of mind. As far as I am concerned, a liar is far worse than a nympho.
Take me for an example. I am never shy to admit having sex with my ex-gfs coz there was love involved. It just so happened that the relationships did not work out due to some reasons. The message I am trying to bring across in this entry is that sex is something misused, misinterpretted and misrepresented.
Disclaimer: I am no advocate of sex and I am not trying to encourage sexual intercourse between loving couples. Love is something very subjective and different pple perceive it differently. If you think both you and your partner are ready, do it on your own discretion. My only advice is better be safe than sorry. Always have precautionary measures in place if you wanna engage in sex. This is also a form of respect to your partner.
