“What we are really saying here is that delayed adolescence, delaying marriage for education/career advancement, and dating while trying to do these things is simply foolish.”
That depends on what you’re trying to accomplish, though.
If you want to be a tradwife, yes.
If you want to live your own life without giving a fuck what the neighbors think, then no.
“ If you are actively dating, then you should be considering marriage as the natural end of that action.”
I did marry the only girl i ever really dated.
“ If you believe that you must/have too delay marriage for what ever reason, don't be dating.”
Um….no. I wanted to date. I found this terrific person to date. We got on GREAT and had fun together. I dated her. And intended to go back to submarines and ride them without leaving anyone behind.
Didn’t work out thatway.
“I can't find it but someone mentioned kissing in this thread, and I had previously mentioned Paul's command for a man not to touch a woman[...]”
PAUL was sure that the 2nd Coming was going to be ANY TIME NOW.
PAUL didn’t think kids would be old enough to accept Jesus by the time he came back. So they’d be going to Hell.
PAUL didn’t want anyone to have sex because it would lead to kidses.
But if you MUST have sex, then you should marry so the sex you have isn’t a sin.
“So early research evidence points to the fact that the human body reacts to kissing by the release of hormones in the body which lead to increased levels of arousal,”
This took research for you to learn this, huh?
“ and attachment.”
Double blind study, I guess?
“ Kissing leads to sex.”
Hopefully. of course, some days I kiss my wife and we don’t have sex for HOURS after that.
“ Maybe not the first, second or third time, but the act of kissing is a prelude to the sex act.”
Ideally, yes. Prelude, not forced, though.
“Dudes, keep your lips off of the lady until you have a license.”
I worry moreabout her permission, not the state’s.
I didn’t kiss her on the ship, that’s a violation of Navy rules and a stupid reason to go to mast.
But i kissed her a LOT in our apartment.
