One rule that knows no religious or ethnic barrier is fornication. Everyone, regardless of the name you call your God, is expected to get married before they bite the apple. We are all expected to marry as virgins, but how feasible is that in the age of smart cars and smartphones?
If you tell a boy 300 years ago to abstain until he gets married, he will gladly obey. Because he is away the moment he hits puberty and can produce sperm, he will get a piece of land from his grandfather and get married to that beautiful girl who just had her first period. Is that the case now?
We have discovered that we need to spend less time on the field and invest our time, energy, and money in an enclosed environment trying to understand and perfect theories proposed by some dead drunk bearded follow. We spend almost half of life doing this.
The pretty girl today will not get married to the boy because he has a piece of land and a hut of his own. So the boy got to spend extra time securing his financial future, so he does not want to share his wife with the other guy.
By the time he has finished securing the future, he has done about 29 years off his life, if he is lucky. I am no human biology expect, but I know with my elementary knowledge that when we hit adolescence, our body begins to brew all sorts of chemicals which make us sexually active, and it gets stronger with time. So now tell me, what do you expect me to do with all that sexual energy?
The girl has also come of age, developed and sexually active, and from experience, they also need that ‘thrashing’ bad 😉, but I’m not allowed to give that since I can’t pay the bride price?
Maybe it would have been easier if I had no knowledge of sexuality which is impossible in the age of television and the internet. An era where ladies wear bikinis to advertise drinking water – wait! Take my LED tv and iPhone, but what happens when I have my first wet dream? Now, I become aware of that holy grail called ejaculation, then the quest to understand and make it happen whiles I am conscious begins – we can’t cheat nature.
I think it isn’t an obligation anymore to get married as a virgin, not in the world we have created for ourselves, and I believe all the Gods will understand.
