The stigma of being a virgin loner (must end)
- Thread starter CaptainPipcard
- Start date
It's like how Vulcans suppress emotion, except I don't have a pon farr. Lust is not the same as those things anyway (it is an emotion, not a physical feeling).
...but I'm not.

Vulcans can do it because Vulcans aren't humans. Also, they're not real, so they can be made to do anything that the script calls for them to do. Humans don't quite work like that, biologically speaking.
I didn't say you were. You may be asexual, you may be a loner, there are a number of reasons why you don't want to be intimate with someone. That doesn't mean it won't happen later. Physiology likes to play tricks on you.
Been having sex for twenty-five years Junior, yet to contract an STD. If you're careful it'll never be an issue.
Eh, you probably got herpes. Then again, something like 80% of us do, even many virgins (if you've ever touched another human being, you might have got it). Though, no one cared about that fact until a couple of pharma companies made up the disease "genital herpes" in the 70's thereby attaching a stigma to it, and therefore, necessitating a treatment for it.
Possible, but biological asexually is extremely unlikely. Now, self-deception, that's extremely common and also explains the need to stand on top of a soap box and justify the deception. People much prefer to be persecuted than admit to having made choices they later regret. God forbid anyone make a mistake.

Isn't chicken pox (and shingles) a form of herpes?

No, I think they are fine with that one. There was some statistic a while back that something like 80% of christian teens were having anal sex to remain "pure".
Completely unrelated to this thread, but I stumbled on this link when I was looking for a source for that statistic. http://christiannymphos.org/
Great Bill Maher stand up bit about the abstinence pledge and statistics on their alternative sexual practices.:

I believe they're a herpes family virus, but they are not one of the 80 or so viruses that account for THAT herpes. But dammit, I'm an analyst, not a doctor, Jim.
Cold sores ARE herpes.
Hmmm... This thread reads like a ploy by the Genital Herpes Forum-lot.
^Yes, I'm sure the idea of a benign, but stigmatizing viral skin infection is not helping the virgins who are having problems coming to terms with adult relationships. So back to the scheduled programming of religiousness, fetishists, culture warriors, LGBTSQAWTFers, people that are offended by people with differing opinions, hardcore SciFi fans, people with social adaptation issues, and relationship experts that have never been in a normal relationship.
You know, the internet. Or life. I really can't tell the difference anymore. The line between whiny e-trolls (not calling anyone here that) and real life has been continuously blurring. I heard Arizona is passing a law that officially declares the UN some kind of front for the Illuminati. Time was, you'd only see that crap on AboveTopSecret.com, sandwiched between 9/11 Truther posts. I must be getting old. I wonder if I'll be telling kids to get off my lawn and stop doing weird photo shoots with their cats when I finally hit 30, assuming the herps don't kill me first.

Okay, from now on, I'm going to take criticism of my lifestyle like a man and "grow a thicker skin".
Ah. Then I refer you back to the post I made earlier in this thread:
Okay, you have your life story, that's great. But it doesn't have to be my life story. I don't want to throw that out the window.
I think I'll abandon this thread now.

It's good to have values, and know what is important to you. It's also good to keep an open mind. I don't mean this just because you are 16. People are constantly changing, and that's healthy. I don't know what life has in store for you but it's best to think of your own plans as guidelines. There are very few things in life that are always wrong or always right, regardless of circumstance.

No.
Good question.
I still adhered to my earlier point - if the OP doesn't want to be "persecuted" for this "stigma," he shouldn't be broadcasting this information out to anyone and everyone who asks or will listen. Its one thing to make a choice for yourself; its quite another to make the choice just for the attention it brings. In way, it reminds me of Leonard Nimoy and how every couple of months/years, he "announces" his retirement. And then, out of the blue, he makes a cameo appearance in Star Trek. And then, he's on Fringe. And then, he does that Funny or Die video. But seriously, now he's retiring. And then suddenly, he's on Transformers. And then he does Big Bang.
So, I basically have come to the conclusion that he just makes these retirement announcements to drive up the price of his autograph. In short, fuck you Leonard, I don't care.

To be honest, I hope he doesn't retire (at least from the convention circuit) until I can get his autograph in person. I have one from him for when he had to cancel the Chicago con in 2010 (though for a perfectly understandable reason). Still, an impersonal signature on a publicity still photo doesn't make up for that, and he's announced his retirement from the convention circuit twice now, and each time he's showed up. I'm hoping my luck will hold out at least one more time.
Plus, I just can't dislike Leonard Nimoy.
