ptp Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Why can't the present include lots of 18 year olds...? Do the damn thing Hookie. I never knew you had a predilection for 18 year olds. I think we have had similar experiences and I think I would have an aversion to someone so young. To each their own.
xxoo Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Why can't the present include lots of 18 year olds...? Try it and report back. As I said in the first part of that post, I am wondering if it will live up to your fantasies. I suspect not, and it will simply be awkward. That boat has likely sailed. You might have sex with them, but it won't be the same as having sex with them as a peer.

Like you said, that ship has probably sailed...
fortyninethousand322 Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Wait didn't you go to college? In the US? Did you happen to go to a religious school or something? What's interesting is that the people who completely get left out of the dating world feel exactly the same way: "Not only are more college students hooking up -- kissing, making out and having sex -- but these experiences often leave them feeling empty, sad and regretful." Everything in moderation I guess? Went to a regular school. A commuter school though. So not too much campus atmosphere. Looking back on it, there were signs and examples of the hookup culture from time to time. I was just too clueless to see it. And moderation is fine. I think what's really the case is that no one is without "baggage". Even inexperienced people have psychological baggage from having not dated like the rest of their peers have. Like I said before, I think I'm damaged goods... Edited May 18, 2013 by fortyninethousand322
carhill Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 I do think sexual education should include focus on the emotional consequences of sex and not just the physical implications. It's perhaps instructive that the sexual education I received back in the late 60's did indeed focus on 'emotional consequences' and implications of 'sex' and my taking those instructions to heart/soul may have been one 'reason' for declining to participate in 'free love'. I think part of that was my willingness to absorb the teachings of adults rather than rebel against them, as is typical of many children once 'hormones' start flowing. If that's the case, and my reaction was outlier, then the effects of such teachings may be minimal. Hmm... 1
