Quote by Burquette


I'm interested in this.

I was taught that to be forgiven you have to be sorry. That's always been my problem around what my old church deemed sexual immorality. I never felt bad so I couldn't ask forgiveness.

Also, if you are sorry, you are supposed to try to stop with the sin you're committing. Which again, I didn't want to do (masturbation, extra-marital sex....).

And then when I realized that I was bisexual and my every thought towards women was a sin, I just gave up.

Does your understanding of the Bible teach differently? Please know that this isn't an attack or a challenge. Your brand of Christianity just seems much gentler than the one I know.

The forgiving God and the sins that he forgives come from the same Bible. If one doesn't believe in the contents of that book, then there's no need for forgiveness for many of those sins. How's that for freedom? As for feelings of guilt that are not tied to religious sins: if one wrongs another person then I think it's up to that person to forgive or not.
In the context of Lush cheating comes to mind as a thing one can feel guilty about that can be forgiven by the person who's cheated upon. But things like extramarital sex, lust, homosexuality, etc. simply don't need forgiveness at all if one doesn't believe in God/Christ.

Knowing that in advance takes away half the excitement, no?

Quote by VirgoGo


I'm not a guy, but I have some insight in this area.

1) Perhaps sex is not freely available to him. Perhaps he's shy...Feels unattractive....Is disabled.
2) Perhaps the transactional nature of pay to play has an appeal. Exchanging money offers a thrill.
3) Perhaps he likes knowing that it's a sure thing, rather than an open question involving dinner and a movie first.
3) Perhaps there are time constraints - he's visiting town on business, and he wants a very specific kind of experience in a very specific window of opportunity.
4) Perhaps his tastes veer towards things that most women wouldn't do for free - i.e., anal, BDSM.
5) Perhaps he likes being with strangers, and the odd pro can satisfy that hunger for strange.
6) Perhaps he thinks of being with a prostitute as being something purely "physical" That the money enacts an emotional and symbolic barrier, and thus the exchange of funds protects his primary relationship. i.e., being with a sex worker isn't the same as "cheating"
7) Perhaps he has a taste for a very specific kind of woman - porn stars, models - who are otherwise out of his league. He can rent one for an hour, where he could never afford one otherwise.
8) Perhaps he has a very specific fetish - for Asian women, for latex bondage gear, for spanking, whatever. The odds of that fetish being satisfied under normal circumstances might be very low - especially since few women care to be objectified so narrowly in their routine relationships.

There are scores of reasons why sex workers exist and why men (and it's mostly men) continue to patronize them -- even as sexual mores have changed. At heart, there's an inequality of supply and demand.

Quote by Dancing_Doll


I actually don't think that the universe cares that much about who I fall in love with.

When we find a strong connection with someone, we tend to want to believe it's the work of something greater than chance.

The reality is that even if there are no cosmic forces steering us, we will still wander through life and find some connections that are intuitively special, and others that are altogether disastrous.

Quote by BethanyFrasier
The problem with the term 'cuckold' is that it often gets used mistakenly on men to whom it does not accurately apply. Many men choose to willingly share their wife/girlfriend, and there is no cheating or humiliation involved. These men are more correctly labeled (if you MUST label!), 'wittols', as they encourage their partners to engage in sex with other men, and actually get-off on it without feeling humiliated nor 'cheated' on at all.

Quote by ChuckEPoo
I took my truck in to the dealer for scheduled maintenance and they said it needed to have several recall repairs. I agreed. Then... Two weeks later they tell me they need to keep it a week longer. Three weeks to do routine maintenance? So I calmly told them they were Incompetent losers that couldn't find their assholes from a socket wrench. Needless to say, that didn't go as well as I hoped.

Cock suckers!

I vaguely recall that I was a man in that lifetime, and you were, I believe, my eunuch consort! But yeah! I drove a helluva Greek chariot! I drive my Mustang the same way now!

Quote by aldenbradley


I like action.

Karly spun on a heel and punched ferociously upward, both her middle fingers stiffly extended toward his receding back.

Now that's art!

Quote by InnocentBliss87


If there is any story moderators on or other writers which would sound better, in your opinion? This Karly mentally stated; angrily and irritated. " or " Karly mentally stated in angered,irritated tone."

(the second part one i mentioned wanted to capture the readers mind of how the character feels and how she expresses herself?)
