If someone is willing to wait, then they want YOU. If they’re not, they just want sex. Coming from a man, this may be a shock, but I say stick to your guns and make ‘em wait.
Guys this isn’t supposed to be taken seriously! You may need to go back to literature class and relearn what the difference in fiction and nonfiction are and what satire and parody mean. If you take this comic seriously then you need to seriously relax.
In response to “dermanica”, the “About Tiny Sepuku” Section describes that it is letters from “enthusiastic fans…seeking advice and counsel” that inspire the strip. But, yes, you’re absolutely right to advise a grain of salt with the daily dose of comics. : )
“Sell when you can. You are not for all markets.”
As You Like It
“It is not politic in the commonwealth of nature to preserve virginity. Loss of virginity is rational increase, and there was never virgin got till virginity was first lost. That you were made of is metal to make virgins. Virginity by being once lost may be ten times found; by being ever kept is ever lost. ‘Tis too cold a companion. Away with’t! ‘Tis against the rule of nature. To speak on the part of virginity is to accuse your mothers, which is most infallible disobedience. He that hangs himself is a virgin; virginity murders itself, and should be buried in highways out of all sanctified limit, as a desperate offendress against nature. Virginity breeds mites, much like a cheese, consumes itself to the very paring, and so dies with feeding his own stomach. Besides, virginity is peevish, proud, idle, made of self-love, which is the most inhibited sin in the canon. Keep it not; you cannot choose but lose by’t. Out with’t! Within ten year it will make itself ten, which is a goodly increase, and the principal itself not much the worse. Away with’t! ‘Tis a commodity will lose the gloss with lying: the longer kept, the less worth. Off with’t while ‘tis vendible; answer the time of request. Virginity, like an old courtier, wears her cap out of fashion, richly suited, but unsuitable, just like the brooch and the toothpick, which wear not now. Your date is better in your pie and your porridge than in your cheek; and your virginity, your old virginity, is like one of our French withered pears: it looks ill, it eats drily. Marry, ‘tis a withered pear; it was formerly better; marry, yet ‘tis a withered pear! Will you anything with it? ”
All’s Well That Ends Well
..I can be talked into anything,so you have to take this with a shaker of salt…if you truely believe in something(like keeping yourself a virgin until you are married)stick to your guns.I don’t see how letting every Tom,Dick,or Harry throw their junk into you can make you a better person if you truely have reservations against it.Marriage means many different things to many different people,but if taking ‘the vows’ wasn’t held sacred by the vast majority of people there would not be so much huss and fuss about whom is allowed to wed and whom is not.
There are many other activities that don’t involve sticking tab A into slot B that can be fun. Try toys, mutual masterbation or oral if you’re worried about the brat disease.
The unnerving possibility of being told “I’m waiting until I’m married” is that you’ll wind up with someone who simply doesn’t enjoy sex. It’s true that sex isn’t the ONLY thing that keeps couples together, but being married to a person with an incompatible sex drive (either wanting it too much OR not wanting it enough) is a recipe for trouble.
Annie to her shrink: “Alvie CONSTANTLY wants sex! As much as two or three times a week!”
Alvie to his shrink: “Annie NEVER wants sex! Only two or three times a week!”
And to make matters worse, someone who won’t have sex before marriage is likely to be someone who won’t agree to a divorce, either.
Heck, even Brooke Shields, who famously waited (almost bragging) until she was in her 20’s to have sex, is now saying that she wished she had started earlier. If you want to have sex, do it. Be safe about it, and be choosy about who you do it with, but fer cryin’ out loud there’s nothing wrong with it.
Or if you really feel that strongly about it, don’t do it. Up to you. Freedom of choice is good.
Whichever way you want to go, though, just remember to date people who are on your side or everybody is bound to be upset and/or disappointed.
And by the by, love the dog and papaya public-service-announcement mascots!

If she wants to wait until marriage, she’s just going to have to fall in love with one of the Jonas Brothers.
