Message-ID: <9474@watmath.UUCP> Date: Thu, 18-Oct-84 19:36:31 EDT Article-I.D.: watmath.9474 Posted: Thu Oct 18 19:36:31 1984 Date-Received: Sun, 21-Oct-84 09:44:12 EDT References: <164@hocsf.UUCP> Organization: U of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 17 Though it's a bit of an oversimplification: the longer one "waits" to experience sex, the more important ones virginity becomes and the more traumatic the prospect of its "loss" becomes. Take the pressure off -- start early. Besides, waiting wastes valuable time needed to practice. On the other hand, the earlier one experiences sex, the more artificially important it can be in relation to the other events in a young life. Don't stir up those feelings until you're old enough to have a *little* control over them. Experience helps that. Between these two extremes lies a middle ground. Unfortunately, that ground is where sex is both traumatic because of the loss of virginity and artificially important because of the age of the participant. With all that against me, I wonder how on earth I ever got started? -- -IAN! (Ian! D. Allen) University of Waterloo
