It also occurs to me to wonder if the groom is also a virgin.
That I don't know. I can say that he is a complete tool, and I sure as hell wouldn't want to sleep with him. But presumably she has a different take on that.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

(The figurative "you", of course. Not *you*.)
Hey, don't limit yourself on my account.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
That weirds me out a little, too, brenda. Like, what if the couple turns out to be totally incompatible sexually? What do they do then?
Ignorance is bliss?
I'm always impressed by self-discipline -- probably because I have almost none. And you can certainly be chaste without being a prude or utterly clueless.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
SciFi changing their name to SyFy still annoys me. And makes me not watch to watch that channel ever ever again. Also instead of pronouncing it Skiffy, as I had been doing happily forever, I now pronounce it syphi, like syphilis. Fuck you marketing dept, fuck you.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Learn me how to make tortillas!!
As others have said, they're easy. I succeeded on the first try, and I am not a baker. I think I found the recipe in How to Cook Everything, but it was basically flour, water, oil.

Sure, but then you'll come down with syphi.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm impressed by that the same way I'm impressed with people who starve themselves to be thin. That takes a lot more willpower than I have, but I don't want it. I don't think denying yourself (healthy safe) sex is any more good for you than denying yourself food.
It's true that chastity doesn't necessarily make one prudish or clueless, but being chaste totally precludes knowing whether you're compatible with your chosen partner. Honestly, I think the ideal of female chastity, with no possibility of divorce, exists to make sure that no man ever gets insulted or rejected by a woman. If she doesn't know any better and she can't leave, he can do whatever he wants, and never be concerned that he has the bedmanner of a rutting warthog.

Some people really consider a mutual end 'o chastity an important part of their bond. I can see that. Doesn't float MY boat, but I can see it. And of course you could still end up with wildly disparate sex drives, but when your sexuality is something you develop mutually from scratch you're playing on the same field.
That's mutual chastity of course. When its just for the girls I get skeeved with all that is included and implied.

Aaaand, coincidentally enough, when C met the tool it was not long after she was released from in-patient rehab for life-threatening anorexia.
