ok... i was heading to bed but a comment really irked me into making a reply.... priesthood writes a comment congratulating me on being a virgin and says "You are chaste and, I assume, mentally healthy." nothing could be farther from the truth.... for anyone that may follow my entries... you may have come to the realization that the whole topic of sex is something that runs through my mind often (or even those of you that rarely read my blog....). but you see i am a normal teenager so of course i have sex on the brain and the fact that i haven't gotten any yet has been an issue of great torment. now the chances i have had to get some would've caused me greater torment but make no mistake with the right opportunity i would have sex in a heartbeat. dealing with sex is an issue that torments many many teens and (although i haven't read it so this is only heresay) the book The Virgin Suicides would be a great example of sexual frustration. humans were meant to reproduce by my age... not sit around jacking off... the reason having sex often causes serious mental problems for girls is because their natural drive is for commitment and security because they are the motherly figure.... whereas a man's drive is to pass on his gene's (in the most generalized sense of everything). so yes people can have sex and be mentally stable and this whole repressing sexual urges and desires and needs i don't think is too particularly healthy.... unfortunately i can't convince anyone the benefits of casual sex that i would desire to have sex with..... man that is a lot of ranting about sex... i have had too many posts on that subject lately i should really move on.  o and priesthood... to assume makes an ass out of u and me
