Not ready for a relationship?

Post by _DoubtingThomas »

I could be in a lot of trouble according to one study

Delaying sexual activity may “create health risks by impeding development of the emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal skills that are crucial to satisfactory sexual functioning and general well-being,” they add. On average, respondents said they had sex for the first time around the ages of 17 or 18. Those who had their first sexual encounter at average age of 14 were considered “early starters” and those who started at age 22 or older were considered “later starters.”

Now I work more than 40 hours a week and I am afraid to hit on women at work because I don't want to be accused of harassment. What the hell am I supposed to do now?

You are supposed to find a therapist and/or life coach who can help you with your chronic self-defeating attitude.

Let me save you the research time: Virginity matters to you, because you say it does. But it does not actually matter.

Obvious solution. Combine both activities into one by becoming a male prostitute.

Think of all of the dicks you could give. : )

When it comes to dicks, it is better to give than to receive.

(Of course, that's just my perspective. I chalk it up to the fact that my ass is set to "read-only." Opinions may differ.)
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
