To the sensitive young woman who has had the benefits of proper upbringing, the wedding day is, ironically, both the happiest and the most terrifying day of her life. On the positive side, there is the wedding itself, in which the bride is the central attraction in a beautiful and inspiring ceremony, symbolising her triumph in securing a male to provide for all her needs for the rest of her life. On the negative side, there is the wedding night, during which the bride must pay the piper, so to speak, by facing for the first time the terrible experience of sex.

It's a joke, right? Right?

Victorians weren't, on the whole, pro empowerment.

But yes, it is a bad thing to tell young girls that 'sex is nasty'. Though, if you convinced them of it then they wouldn't go arround *having* it so much and there would be fewer pregnant teens and less of an STD problem.

That's like saying anorexia is a good thing because it limits the chances of getting food poisoning.

Yes. But on the other hand you *need* food to remain alive and healthy. You don't *need* sex to remain alive and healthy, allthough people enjoy having it, it isn't necessary.

Also true. :-)
Although my health in certain areas (hormonal, etc) is a lot better when I do have a regular sex life (involving someone other than myself, that is....).

i don't think that lying to people is a good way to prevent teenage pregnancy and std's.

I don't think saying that 'some people don't like sex' is lying. Infact, I think the prevelent attitude that 'sex is great, everyone likes sex and it is allways wonderfull' is lying to people. Though, no, I would not advocate telling young people that sex isn't fun just to stop them having it.
