I believe in staying a virgin till I am married. It says in the bible sex is a gift from God and should be shared with the one you married. So when I turned 13 (im 15 now) my dad bought me an abstinence ring. I've never taken the ring off, except for when im gonna go swimming or take a shower or w/e. A lot of people give me weird looks and think i'm incredibly crazy.

Is it really strange that I have an abstinence ring?

I think that if you have sworn not to have sex until you're married, then you should be able to carry that vow in your heart and not need a physical object to remind you of it. A vow that needs a symbol to make it stronger is no worthwhile vow.

And no, you're not weird. Although I wear a fivefold slave-ring and my idea of fun is differential cryptanalysis, so I'm probably not the one you should be asking... sweatdrop

From the perspective of a guy who belives that indulging in any activity or indulgence is ok (and i mean ANY) i don't think you're wierd, although i'm in agreement with Galad on the point of a vow requiring a symbol. now my question is did your dad force the ring on you or did you taske the vow of your own volition.

I took the vow. Although dad has always told me that I need to wait before marriage, I decided that he was right and I made my own vow to wait.

I admire your conviction btu i think you are sellign a very large part of your life short. sex is quite an amazing thing and only havign it with one person is a bit stale.

Sex is natural. Sex is good. Not everybody does it, but everybody should. xd Jokes aside, sex is something beautiful and your virginity is yours to give to whoever you want. You shouldn't have to wait to bind yourself to someone before you give it to them.

maybe they just think your crazy when you tell them you never take it off except for when you go swimming or go to shower? neutral But it's not a bad thing to wear an abstinence ring, it's just a reminder of your promise, to yourself or GOD or whoever, or maybe both....um do you have any verses to support the whole "It says in the bible sex is a gift from God and should be shared with the one you married." thing?

Not very moral to go around screwin with people especially if you don't really have feelings for them, but do whatever you want since she's a christian I wouldn't really advise such behavior, but she's a free willed individual she can do whatever she wants.

I have a question and this is for anybody to really answer not just Galad why would you give your virginity to someone you don't have feelings for, and not even consider biding yourself to that person later? And yes that is a question although it looks mildly like a statement, but yes I am asking a serious question here.

Like I said; your virginity is yours to give to who you will. No one has the right to decide that for you. Whether you lose your virginity to a stranger during a one-night stand or to someone you love desperately, passionately, with all your heart and soul, it is your choice, and no one has the right to interfere. Advise and offer perspective or input, certainly, but that choice is yours to make, and yours alone.

Umm becasue it gets it out of the way? ok i put that badly but i'll let it stand. seriously i lost my virginity at 15 to a girl i had just met and started seeign maybe two or three days before. we were together about a month before the s**t got stale and i cheated. end of relationship begining of my reputation as the biggest whore in town. i had no illusions about being with this one woman forever but the sex felt great. also by the time i do settle down i will have gained a great wealth of knowledge into human sexuality romance and seduction.

=] you're not weird. Though what...umm, sorry if this sounds rude-ish, some people said that having a physical symbol for something that is not is shallow....

well, I guess I don't believe it is. I am probably biased cause I have one too...but anyways, I think it's a good thing to have something physical to represent your beliefs/morals. Because as much as we want to remain pure before marriage, as they said 0.o sex feels good(not that I know =.=) and it's tempting....and we're human. =P And we can't always be as strong as we want.

For the record morality is subjective.

Oh dear, he's wrangling his way out of it with vague postmodernist sentiments. xd

Actually, Laz, you're right. Morality is a social construct.
