Disclaimer: I'm not condemning people who've slept with someone because it felt right. And with that out of the way....

We've all seen it. That perception. You know, the one that denotes that you're not a man until you've fucked someone. It's amazing how defensive people can become when the topic shifts to virginity. It's almost as if there's a universal law of physics that denotes that virginity and pride cannot coexist.

So where then, does that leave a person that has exercised turned down sex simply because the time and situation didn't feel right? I think I'll hazard a guess: I'm guessing that he's less of a man for exercising self-control than someone who submitted to sex simply because the opportunity arose?

The perceptions the world has of people, due to circumstantial experiences, are pretty pathetic indeed.
