The risks of premarital sex are FAR overrated here and elsewhere. It never even occured to me that people still feel this way about it. All of my friends from the UK have been in some sort of serious relationship at some stage of their lives, none have gotten themselves or anyone else pregnent, caught any life threatning STD (none of em have died from them anyhow) or destroyed their lives in the doom and gloom way predicted here. I'm not denying that is possible for there to be very serious consequences from this, but coming from a society where i would say roughly 90% of people have sex before marrage, there are much larger social issues in Ireland and India today than this. Welcome to the board Great Athiest, that was the best first post i ever read.
u _ kidding me Mark? are nt the irish catholics supposed to be as conservative as an Indian when it cocmes to sex, kids and blashphemy?
not my generation. even in my parents day they were at it like rabbits.
could be, my assumptions are based on irish traveller s stories. And there are a lot of them out there, both stories and travellers.
well i think this is the thing. most of us are out there. mostly living in more liberal places, soaking up the juice. a good proporportion of irish people in their 20's have lived a few years in Aus or US or UK. they come home talking of gambling dens full of easy money and fast women, chicken sandwiches and cornets of caviar, disgustin!
so the rest of us lightened up too.
