shining like a lighter...
Its a diff world now then back in the day - kids come out of school easily w/ double digit 'partner' experiences thanx to the whole "friends w/ benefits" credo. I think its just not looked upon w/ the strict importance it once was - its more of a 'cut to the chase' biological urge / exploration than it ever was, and thats not to say that this is a bad thing. People have their hangups about ***, possibly more in America than in other developed nations - maybe the dumbing down of it to the basic "boys like girls & girls like boys" (or whatever) isn't so bad, as long as safety is a priority, and the 'players' take precautions about unwanted pregnancy. Really, what importance is the number, if both parties are healthy & "clean"?
