Virgin Counterculture

David already did a post about this article. So, I’m late to the party. I was going to do a post about it anyway, but now I can’t think of what I want to say. There’s just so much, and I am not in any mood to stop and collect my thoughts into anything coherent. However, I do suggest you read it yourself. They talk about “masturbands” (I bet you want to know what those are!), the crippling effects of blowjobs on teenage girls, and the “purity army” envisioned by the authors of Every Young Man’s Battle (btw, I’ll take that back whenever you’re done with it, Garrett; hope you learned a lot).

This is one of the best parts of the article:

Not having sex means talking about it constantly; the topic of sex and why to wait for it comes up in nearly every sermon, under titles such as “Desperate Sex Lives,” “Sex and the City” and “What a Girl Wants.”

Ha!

The article also points out that Every Young Man’s Battle would not meet its own censor (or is it ‘censure’ in this case?) - way too much talk of low-cut blouses, tight shorts, and nubile female bodies glistening with sweat.

More later, perhaps. I haven’t decided yet.

    ok I’ve decided I’m also becoming a “recycled virgin”..at least until the next time I have sex.

    I’ve said it before, but I’ll reiterate. I’m all for these guys working towards celibacy, all y’all are doing is taking yourselves out of the dating pool and leaving plenty of horny young ladies in it…

    Might be a good way to pick up the closet freaks at your local Wednesday Bible study.

    And every Thursday, you will become a “recycled virgin” anew!

    Yeah thats probably a huge untapped dating resource. Wouldn’t that be a great line- “I’ve been waiting for so long and I want it to be you” or some shit like that. Like half the women out there wouldn’t go after a guy if she told them that.
