Me too, it is rather late.

Katsy, why don't you just remove your troublesome contacts? They seem to cause you a lot of grief. How the hell do you meet these guys?

I think the biggest problem teenagers encounter is the feeling that they are missing out on something. Friends/classmates boasting about sexual experiences.

The truth is though, that when people have sex, especially for the first time, they are not likely to rush to tell the whole world about it, whether it's wonderful or crap (the latter being most common, though least admitted). Or to put it another way, those that shout loudest, do least.

Peer pressure and social conventions are a real burden.

~A~

From the brief time I changed my icq name to be "Lucinda", you don't have to - they meet you...

(*sigh*, and they didn't even bother to check the box marked 'gender' in my details)

Regardless, I don't see that there's anything wrong with cybersex - or that it's a mark of desperation. In a few years time people will look at it the same way we look at masturbation now - just one more way of having fun...

myre - but if you stare at the screen too long, you really WILL go blind.

To will - (see first reply to my first message in this forum) - byt the sluts, I meant Isobel Keppe, Hannah Staley, Amy Baker etc. but Lizzie is a bit of a slut sometimes too, probably in a different way. I don't see why anyone should be pressurized into having sex, it should only happen when both people really love each other and are sure they want it. But that's what everyone says, Isn't it?

I just stick with the "wait until marriage" bit, that way you're less likely to catch all these diseases by sleeping with loads of different people. I heard today that a survey just published that 97% of the people questioned said they'd already slept with their partner before wedding night! Now that is a very high number.....

You catch "all these diseases" by sleeping with a _single_ partner, unprotected. Sadly, marriage does not give you protection from them, but correct use of condoms, et al, will. Or only have sex with people who've been tested clean for the relevant diseases. (Successfully giving blood can show that your clear of some, depending on the rules in your country, and is a good idea anyway).

Personally, I'm amazed it's as low as 97%. I suspect that this is just another study which shows that 3% of people are liars (no survey seems to ever returns >97% in any category, or <0.5%).

This forum moves WAY too fast for me!
I was only here yesterday and i'm already lost in the archives of the unreadable.

there's nothing wrong with sex b4 16-chonology is a terrible judgement of age, it's no better than putting a height restriction on it-once people feel they're ready and as long as they havn't been brought up following the law to the letter then thoey're gonna do it anyway.I did, and I've never regretted it-despite the fact that I was in a 10 month old relationship-and I'd known the girl about a week!

(yes-in case you are stupid-I cheated on her,and I may not be proud of it, but I still don't regret it)

you're silly

Once again, I'm not 100% sure, but I understand that the earlier you have sex, the more chance there is of you developing cervical cancer in later life. If young people are having sex so soon, isn't this going to provide a major problem in years to come? At least through cyber sex (not that I would *want* to do it) you don't develop anything like that...
Question- I was up at Angel's house the other week and we were laughing over a survey in the Scotsman (I think) about sex and relationships. It made me think though- who do they actually ask about these things? I mean, if someone phoned your house and said "Hi, I'd like to ask you some questions about sex." you'd hang up, right? And I can't see many people standing in the middle of the high street revealing whether or not they've slept with someone to get promotion. So how do they get the information?

You can call me silly 'till your blue in the face, but the only thing that'll offend me is if you don't explain why you're saying it.

that was to celeba, by the way, i've only just noticed that the message above me is from the very same person I just sent a save the fish e-mail to.
Hi!

You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly You're silly Gosh! My face is getting very blue!

I can't beleive you want to offend me on the basis of a couple of unoffensive entries I've written ina forum I had come to beleive was designed to allow people to express their opinions.

You're not being very mature about this despite the fact that I'm willing to bet your older than I am.

If you want me to respect you in the slightest then you'll give me a reason- if you don't explain yourself, then I'll never learn will I?..

I think it's just because Clelba is silly - or is trying to pretend (s)he is.

Regardless of which, I know a few people who've cheated and have been glad they did it... so they must be silly too!

I'm also willing to bet that celba is actually a she.

I'd have put my money on she, too. But that's just a quick guess, rather than the view of a proffesional username analyser (or indeed, someone who's gone to the trouble of looking at the relevant homepage...)

I've done neither, you can tell by her style of writing, and the use of the word 'gosh'

I'm sorry but if you're gonna be like that, you can f**k off.
