If your boyfriend ask you to get on the next level, would you say yes or no? Frankly, I'm talking about sex here.
You can do it all right, but the real question here is would you regret it afterwards?
Having sex is as casual as it get on other countries in the world. While few on our own believe the same, most Filipino still believe in marriage before intersection. For our defense sex is a sacred thing to do and it is a social norm to be involve only with this kind of activities with your spouse. Anyhow, we're not blind, so we know that not a few engage to this kind of activities even if not married. But still, we Pinoys usually want to give the best of ourselves to someone we believe (take note I say believe) will be ours forever and not just a mere stranger we met at the bar.
If this is something we can chat about in front of our family dinner, what do you think your subsequently hiding while making-out with your partners are for? I know it's thrilling. It's pleasurable. But in the end it could be possibly just 90% lust or more. Parent's are futuristic, the moment they caught you in the couch locked lips with a guy, is also the moment they already envision you being an undergraduate, jobless, single-mom with a poor baby to care for.
People say don't do it, because it is much safer to give an advice that way. But on my opinion, you can do it if you think you are responsible enough to carry the consequences. Oh and I'm NOT only talking about getting pregnated and the like in here, I am also talking about the emotions you'll experience afterwards. Some guys could easily dump you after getting what they want, and you don't want that to happen to you, right?
If a guy tell you he'll leave you because you don't want a trip to the bed, well obviously you know the principle in this idea, use your brain. That guy is a jerk and avoid jerk people. Remember that if you start giving him some, he'll want more, and some more and more more more. It's a never ending bargain till you had lost it all.
Anyway, I'm saying this because girls do have the privilege to say no, even if you're already in a dark, sexy, hot place, wooohoo, where you can freely do the deed. Stop and think. You're a super woman and I confidently tell you that. Why?
In digestion (clearly, this word looks lost in here but please continue reading), remember how you feel sleepy after eating a heavy meal for lunch? That is because almost all of our brain juices and most of our body blood circulates down to our tummy for metabolism. That's a principle you must remember. Meanwhile, the same principle also applies when a guy is having his flag ceremony. Less blood circulation to their head and more to their, uhhmmm, other head. Not that they don't think, but they think less during that peak. You, as a girl, can think more, so obviously, decide for it.
Unless your interested in a one night stands and the like, I won't argue with you. But to those who are not, let me tell you that after the pleasure, the sweat, the peak, the climax and what's not, there's a thick dull period, that say,
"BANG! Okay I'm done", and it is as if nothing happen, like a boss.
"Don't do sex" is a slogan for social norm. It's safer and it is cheaper for explanation. I do respect that. But I'd rather say:
"If you're in doubt, discard."
Again, you can do it if you think your responsible enough, but sadly that's not all you should think about. I told you to take note of the word believe, right? This is if you believe without doubt that your guy could also be responsible enough of the same consequences as yours. So if you're in doubt of his maturity, I mean even just a little tiny bubbly little doubt, DISCARD! Or maybe just wait a little longer to drop the bomb.
You're not in a marathon, so don't hurry! You don't need to do it even if everybody's been doing it. There's a right moment for everything, so be patient. So, yes or no?
