Yeah. As far as sex. It was supposed to be
within a marriage, not before it and not outside of it.
Dang man, sorry about your divorce (and those of your friends and brother).
As far as I see "sex", I´m have been human, and "sexually" responsive since a child and a child do not need to be married to experience it.
I cannot tell about gilrly or women experiences, except I re-tell what I have feard or have been told, but I know they have their issues and, when my daughter was around her 7-8, I knew she also has her issues with "sex", her drives, her emotions, itchings and questions. Fortunatelly I have my mother and sister to share what I heard and learned from my loved one (her mom is/was somewhat dull or narrow-minded to get what some dads may learn from her children, although we may not agree what "sex" is, because you see it from its Creationist side, and I also see it from my viscerality, my errors, faults and sins.
My divorce is nothing compared to many emotional "divorces", broken dreams, etc. and it´s nothing to those I torn in other people´s who were willing to love me, and I was picky, with
huge ignorance, because I have walked this life grouping, like a blind man (blinded with my personal sins or disbelieving there´s a "godly design" and He doesn´t tell
ME: "
Go this way, bad boy" (The easy way to stop being wrong or playing the love game mistakenly).
That thing socially called "dating" has much more to do with exploring the physical area than prospecting and knowing the person we think we (I) liked. Dating is more than a simple friendship because
it leads to grouping and this is wired with "sex", one way or another so, if I wanted to be sure who a person is, I don´t need to date, I just needed to talk, to share, without touching of hands or anything leading to the sin of kissing or holding of hands because, as far as I see it, that´s "sex", without an explicit intercourse.
