We always knew that convent girls were easier to get into bed than those from lay schools! Perhaps it's because, as Catholics, they learned to enjoy the feelings of guilt. They also seemed far more inventive at sex, particularly those from boarding schools!!!
Is that why I had so many boys following me around when I got to a public high school??? And all this time I thought they were interested in me for my brain.
Are you kidding...I am STILL able to wear a training bra.
I've often wondered what a "training bra" was supposed to train. To transform a normal chest into one that will ensure mating and procreation? Or just to satisfy the lust of male lingerie manufacturers?
As a nurse, I sometimes have to discuss sex with patients. Whether it be HIV transmission or sex after an MI, and I have to remain professional about it and not laugh at anything they say. Most of it is sad because it showed me how little people knew about sex.
The "abstinence only" campaign being the only form of sexual expression to be taught in schools is appalling. I was sexually active by high school and then AIDS hit. Since I'm gay, I had to find out on my own what to do. No discussion about that in school. Now we don't even discuss it in school. I find it quite interesting that in the biblical times, people got married really young and weren't expected to wait until they were in their 20-30's which seems to be the usual age range for marriage. Until then, ABSTINENCE ONLY?!?!?!?!
I know most teenage boys think they will explode by then.
And though it sounds wonderful for parents to teach their children about sex, some parents won't or can't. If that is the case, how does the child get appropriate information? I got the talk about where babies come from at 5 years old. My mom was a nurse and I had access to information that others didn't. Some good, some horrid. I learned I was a deviant at 11! (Some will say it wasn't from the books either! LOL!) If those on the Right choose not to give their children that information, that is their business. Give them a slip excusing them from the class but I find that most teenagers would like the information. Withholding it seems to be insane and risking their lives for the parents sake. Sounds downright selfish to me. Now, may all of those parents have great waves of metta over them.

See, that's where nuns have it over monks. Especially nuns on anti-depressants. No sexual desire whatsoever. (Sigh. I'd make such a good nun.)
Are you suggesting that nuns have no libido struggles, B-la? Not in my experience. I have been brought quite as many sexual fantasies by nuns as I have by monks. I think it's a result of giving it up: like chocolate, it can become an obsession when renounced.
Of course, nuns tend to be somewhat more discreet than monks. There is still such a patriarchal taboo against women's sexuality.
It's been my experience that both nuns and monks have trouble keeping the vow of celibacy, so it's not got much to do with the gender of the person, I think. It's really difficult in the West especially where you're constantly being bombarded with sexual images in everything from Cheerios to Geritol!
So, you have ordained people bring you their sexual fantasies, eh? Hmmmm...

I was a counsellor attached to a local diocese, supporting clergy and lay staff. And, in my current work as a "spiritual sherpa", I see clergy among other pilgrims. I have ceased to be surprised that monastics have far less difficulty admitting to their struggles with the vows than laypeople have with their own fantasies. I think it comes from a habit of self-examination.

I think you're right, Simon. We know it's part of the package, so we're more prepared to deal with it when we're having a problem. That doesn't mean it's easy to deal with, however. People who drop their robes almost always do it over sex or "love".
Hey, STP, what's the difference between a puritan and a pilgrim? This is a question I was asked on an exam (relating to the first colony in the states).
i would much rather have my child see a breast than a severed head. not to shy them away from death and throw them into sex, i just dont want them to be introduced to death in such a violent way since all young kids seem to know about death in some respect at a young age.
it also seems like Americans shy away from sex because of the nuclear family value and are maybe afraid of their boys growing up homosexual and not with 2.5 kids?
i grew up seeing R rated movies kinda young so...maybe that's whats wrong with me?
Palzang,
Just a piece of free professional advice. Cold causes the circulatory system to constrict. Taking a hot shower actually dilates the vessels causing heat to go out. So it might help! I didn't think celibacy was all that bad. I got used to it.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. That's two strikes. Would you like to know which hell realm you'll go to with three?
Palzang
Dude,
I already know I'm going to Hell.
In fact, I'm driving the bus down there.
I'll make sure to save you a seat right behind me!
Ninety-nine hot pitch-forks rammed in my bum, Ninety-nine hot pitch-forks. Take one down, ram it around, Ninety-eight hot pitch-forks rammed in my bum...

I almost said that with a straight face.

Words of wisdom from Mr. T.
You damn right sucka!!!!!! Now let's all have some sex. :thumbsup:

So why do they call them "lay" schools then?
Palzang
None for me, thanks...
Palzang
Thanks. I'll have it with my cold shower....:eekblue:
Palzang
Kids need to KNOW! Withholding information should be a criminal offense.
Stick with a dust bath....!
Pant pant pant

i dont expect anyone to get that.

Maybe you should try immoderation. Remember, as Mark Twain said, "Too much is never enough." (Of course, he was talking about bourbon)
