Printableernestsewell said: Well, as an update, my friend did get married this past Friday. She was so beautiful. Apparently her and her new husband both love "The Princess & The Frog" movie, partly because of the interracial relationship. (Remember, she's black from DC, and he's white and from Revel, France.) One of the photos she uploaded on Saturday was a Diptych type photo, one side of her and her husband in a dance pose, and the other of action figures of The Princess and The Prince from the movie, with Gale and her husband's ring around either of their necks. I asked her if she actually found a cake topper for Princess and Frog from the movie, and she said no. She went and bought the action figures to put on there. It was just so perfect, and fun, and very HER.
I've actually gotten a couple of emails from her since Friday night (you'd think they'd .....you know.....all the time), and all is well. She said they got tons of gifts, and I would be between Sleep Comfort breaks, they're organizing Thank You cards. I have been a bit mournful all weekend about the whole thing. I've only know her as a single gal. I met her when I was 23 (that just blows my mind), and she was 32. I'm 41. We've just been through so much together. I realized one thing that she taught me was how to NOT be racist. And she taught me by just her being herself. I wrote a whole blog entry on it that I might post separately on the Org. I'm sad that I no longer have a single gal pal, but I'm excited to see how she changes with being married, and what new adventures life and God bring her and her husband. I know they're happy, I know they are truly put together by God, and I know she's a bit knowing of things she's never been able to experience to this point. 
Now, if only I could tell her I'm gay. Well, you're going to have to at some point...she clearly loves you, and you love her and I trust that God is going to work it out between you and she will embrace you for your honesty. I know it's tricky, but heck, we can always pray on it, can't we ?
As for the rest of the post: it's too dam early to have me cryin' like that  | |

Thank you sooooo much for posting this topic. I am 20 years old and still a virgin. In a day and age where it seems a lot of people are doing it, this gives me a lot of comfort knowing that people still wait. Although I am christian, I am not set on waiting until marriage, but I am set on waiting on being in a great partnership with a guy that is willing to wait. The latter is the difficult part for me now.
Thanks again for posting and I hope all goes well:-) | |

The way you described how close you two were for so long, are you sure she doesn't already know?  | |

I don't think there's anything that particularly odd about being virgin still at 50 years of age if you haven't had sex by the time you've hit, say, 25. People have just developed their own behavioural patterns by that time and those seldom change. There was some speculation a few years ago about 5-9% of the general population having never experienced intercourse during their lifetime. Frigidity, confusion about one's sexual orientation, erection problems and such also play a part in it - if the first couple of experiences are very negative, it is possible that people won't feel too inclined to try out too many times.
One of the problem with conducting studies such as that is that people are still bound to lie on them, even if they would be confidential and anonymous. A similar problem has surfaced, rather humorously, when trying to do surveys on the average length of men's penises. [Edited 1/10/10 11:24am] | |
