And...Now this is the matter of colour. rolleyes

lol, Meave thought western wedding dress is pretty because of teh COLOUR! not what it means behind the meaning of colour.

Wearing white doesn't cover a sin. 3nodding

But in eastern, the colour for wedding is bright blood red, which Meave dislike. rolleyes But in the night time, the gowns could be every colour you like.

Meave actually love traditional styles, it is what makes traditional styles great, cause they represent the most original of ceremonies. Ahhh, don't ask Meave, Meave don't know what she is typing about.

Mevae just love the colour.

Miri: Call me weird, but I don't believe that rape can really be called "sex" or be held on the same par with it. Girls who are raped maintain the same purity they had before it happened, in my opinion. If it wasn't consentual, it does not count. The physical technicalities aside, I believe a girl who was raped can still call herself a virgin, and can still be a "pure, holy bride in white." It is a horrible thing to happen to a person, and I am so sorry that it had to happen to you. I do know someone in this guild who was raped for her first time as well, but she hasn't spoken up in this discussion and I'm not sure she'd want me to mention her name in this context.

Please don't think that I view you as any less of a person because of your opinion on this subject. We have different ideas, and that is just fine. I don't believe anyone should be called childish or old-fashioned for wanting to save sex for marriage, though. I think that choosing to wait for the right time is, on the contrary, a very mature decision to make, similar to choosing not to drink or smoke -- all decisions that, depending on your peer group, can be very difficult to uphold but in the end can only be better for you.


Well said Kimi. 3nodding It's not the victim's fault.

Jenannen: No R-rated movies, no sex before marriage -- you sound like me wink
Good to find a like-minded gian. 4laugh
I personally don't watch R rated movies either, but the fact that my father-in-law sees no problem in exposing my 2 year old daughter to them... *grr* Normally I get along well with my father in law, but *heavy sigh*



Kimini
Meriko: *lol* Probably this little discussion that's going on.

*steals Baby Ree and replaces him with Jonathan for one night, who complains for 3 seconds and then sleeps like a rock for eight to twelve hours*

I miss the cuddling he used to demand. ;-; Now he doesn't like to fall asleep in my arms unless we're letting him watch Nemo near bedtime.
I know what you mean. My daughter's the same way. She used to love to snuggle with Mommy, now not so much. Though she's been snuggling more since Mommy's been sick (she doesn't understand that I'm pregnant, just that Mommy's sick) rolleyes go figure. Bed time's always been difficult for us because my hubby's always worked late, and so no one in this house is on a set bed time.

*shrug* I don't see anything wrong with a discussion about sex that's handled fairly quietly (white text and all) and appropriately (no more graphic descriptions than strictly necessary for the discussion and no deliberate lewdness) so long as it doesn't deteriorate into a fight rather than a discussion.

I am, however, staying out of the discussion. It will get too long if I start talking about this subject. ^^;

*nods* I coudln't say it better.

Also, I know how hard rape is to deal with. One of my best friends was raped... and though I was never full-on sexually raped, I was "handled" against my will (not something I normally bring up, and not even something that some of my closest friends are aware of), and I had a lot of issues to get past especially when the time came for me to get married. Thankfully mu husband has been very patient with me.

Hey Meri, if I were to get thank you edits... one male and female, and I had my hubby's ava as the male, we could both use it? Or we'd both have to pay?

Jenannen: Usually it's one owner/displayer per graphic. So if a set is purchased, Hubby can display the male and Wifey can display the female and we're all good. I won't pitch a fit if a couple shares a set though.

'Cause I just feel like tossing my opinion out there as well.

Oh, and nobody reported this guild, 'kay? There's been a guild bug for quite some time now where the guild status was in "already reported" mode. Nobody's in trouble for anything. This guild has been shown as already reported for weeks now. I know, I've checked. wink


Sex-Discussion: I feel it's perfectly fine to have sex before marriage, as marriage is only a bonding ceremony. Not a permission giving ceremony for sex or anything. However the important thing is to know when sex should happen. It's definitely not a good idea to have sex as a teenager. For one, we're still children, dispite our bodies being perfectly capable of procreation. Secondly, our parts work just as fine as adults. They still produce sperm and egg until older adult and elderly ages, so long as you've even tried to take care of yourself. And thirdly, most teenagers now-a-days are only wanting sex for the physical pleasure of it, or because they know somebody else that's done it.

I know a fourteen year old boy that has two sons, one two months old and one six months old. Think about that a moment. That means he had to have had sex with two different girls to have children at those ages. Now tell me, don't you find that to be wrong? They're just that, too. Boys and girls. Sex does not make a man or woman.

Also, when a couple has sex, it shouldn't be done just because. It should be an expression of love and passion for one another. If somebody is using somebody else for sex and they don't even have feelings for that person, that's just being used. That's wrong.

I could add lots more to this conversation, but I'll stay brief. All in all, it's fine to have sex before marriage, as long as it's something both partners are willing to commit to, and they both actually love each other. Sex is not a big fun game. Just because the body works in such a way doesn't mean it should be done right away. Give it some time. Our lives are quite long.

Well, I do have that birthday thread. Perhaps that was seen as a "personal info gathering," although I can't see anyone getting perma-banned for asking what someone's birthday is. *lol* I never did go with my moldy old idea of birthday gifts so perhaps I'll just nuke the thread.


If you nuke it, I'll kill you. xP I JUST updated it. heart
