Survived.

Aug 30, 2008 11:16

I survived the first week of junior year. This year is going to be amazing. I predict it. Every semester gets better. I learn a lot in classes and such, but I also learn things socially. Things change with friendships and moving closer or moving apart and attractions and such. I have already started to notice some changes with that ( Read more... )

Great post! I am totally in agreement with you that if you say you want equal everything, that means equal everything. I personally am not fully certain where I stand on that issue...I think one of the reasons people are wary of drafting females is because we are built differently from males. We're naturally not as strong, and then there's the whole menstruation thing...ick. I can't imagine rolling around in the dirt and hot sun while on my period. No thank you ( ... )

Yeah, the strength thing is the most logical argument. Also, maybe along the same reasonings with homosexuality and the military. I'm not sure what the exact restrictions are though.

That is a good point! I can be attracted to females, but not in a sexual way at all. I am not sexually attracted to men very often either. I think I'm more asexual than most people haha. Sex is there obviously for reproduction, but of course that is just a sliver of why people have sex. If people had sex to have babies, there would way too many babies! So it is a pleasure thing as well as a way to show affection for the ones you love. I find pleasures in other things and I think that compensates for now at least haha. I don't think I'm explaining this right but it makes sense in my head!

My immediate reaction to your saying you're asexual was "That's so sad!" I mean, I know it doesn't have to be that way at all, but...do you mean that you aren't interested in sexual relations...ever? Never experiencing that sort of closeness with another person seems so tragic to me, though I guess it wouldn't really have before I had Alan. There was a time when I considered myself pretty asexual too...mostly because I feared sexual encounters. I was just an innocent virgin then; I didn't know what was what. :-P But I don't know...what are your thoughts on this? I realize this was sort of a scatterbrained response; not sure if it actually made sense or not. Haha.

hehe, I was exaggerating a bit. I used to be afraid of it and definitely had issues. But my first boyfriend happened and he changed my mind about all of it lol. then i couldn't get enough and i wanted it all the time! i couldn't think of anything else sometimes. Now it's been a long time and i don't even think about it. i think i am less interested in sex than most people nowadays. i think it's because i'm not interested in having a relationship and i would never have sex with someone who i was not dating. i don't want a boyfriend because when i like someone enough to want to be his girlfriend, i like him A LOT. i will not date someone if i sort of like him. i have to be like obsessively crazy about him. it is bad! then i get too involved and i really lose touch of myself. my motivation is focused on him a lot and what is really important to me is school. it is totally my fault, but oh well. i just don't want it at this point in my life ( ... )

an eye opening class nonetheless, it seems to have really peaked your interest, and becoming aware of this situation brings about many questions ( ... )
