No, unfortunately, I'm not talking about a sexual experience, I'm talking about the talk that's been going on on this group. I myself am a "Christian", that is a have a very strong set of beliefs, values, and morals-some would say pretty strict. I enjoy church (Oh no!) and believe in G-d. However, I also realise that there's alot of things in this world that I may not participate in (fully, anyways), that are enjoyable, unharmful (usually), and feel pretty darn good. Okay, so what's my point? Well, everytime I read this newsgroup I find myself frustrated by either the extreme moralists "if you participate in sexual relations you are doomed to hell", or the extreme 'liberalist'(for lack of a better word.), "there is no wrong in anything". Okay, a little exagerated, but do you get my point? This is a group about sex, so enjoy! If you don't, then don't read...but don't flame. And if someone pipes in with a "well, I don't go all the way, but I do have fun", let's not tear them apart, either, hmmmmm? Thanks for listening, I feel ever so much better now! And in answer to somebody's question about oral and manual stimulation being just as good (almost) and 100% safe, yes, it's true!
