I don't think I'm missing out
Droopy just reminded me of something: I've never been high before. In fact, I've never taken drugs of any kind except for a Lortab or two a few years ago after surgery, and I did not like the way it made me feel.
I've also never used tobacco, gotten drunk, had hard liquor, or even had wine. I've had beer a couple of times but did not like it. Heck, I don't even like tea, though on a cold day I'll occasionally drink coffee.
I've never had sex with anyone but my wife. I haven't even done anything approaching a "Mormon lay" (still skeeves me out to say that).
I know this is destroying my image as the enemy of all that is good in the world, but I don't think I've missed anything. The times I feel the best are after a good run or a long swim, or when I'm with my wife and kids. I suppose if I thought something was missing in my life, I'd be more inclined to experiment. But I have no interest.
Am I depriving myself? I don't think so.

Re: I don't think I'm missing out
What have you been doing with your time? You have a great deal of catching up to do. Start with the wine.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Um...what is a "Mormon lay"?

Talk to Liz. Evidently, this sort of thing happens all the time in her Goddess Suite.

right off the bat I think "dry humping" a.k.a. "levi lov'n', both people keep their cloths on and grind on each other like to orgasm like it was sex.
Other options I suppose (this comes from a friend who related what his bishop said during a 5th sunday meeting for the singles ward)
Sex with a condom violates the LoC. (Yes, somehow two people convinced themselves that sex with a condom was did not violate the law of Chasity)
Anal sex violates the LoC.
Oral sex violates the LoC.
Being naked and grinding gentials to orgasm violates the LoC.
Masturbating each other violates the LoC.
Though none of those are unique to Mormon youth/Young adults.

No, you have not deprived yourself, you have done very well for yourself. I agree with your assessment that if you thought something was missing you would be inclined to experiment.

This started a whole new board meme.

If not, start....

I'll have to admit getting high is a good time. It is especially fun when you combine it with food, music, and sex. I don't need weed to have a good time but it sure does add to the fun.
I've also never used tobacco
You are not missing out on this one. Sheesha can be kind of fun sometimes and I don't find it to be addicting at all. It almost gives you a little high.
gotten drunk, had hard liquor, or even had wine. I've had beer a couple of times but did not like it.
Getting drunk isn't that much fun especially black out drunk. Getting a little tipsy is pretty fun though and you might want to try it some time.
Heck, I don't even like tea, though on a cold day I'll occasionally drink coffee.
I still don't like tea or coffee.
I've never had sex with anyone but my wife.
That's good! If you were single I would be encouraging you to have sex with protection.
good run or a long swim
Working out is the only thing I am addicted to. The feeling is great and it's hard to beat.
I suppose if I thought something was missing in my life
You may be missing out. Say if you have never had pizza before and you were pefectly happy without pizza. You have heard it is bad for you so why would you try it? Then maybe you try it once and you realize you really like pizza even though it is bad for you. Would you stop having pizza? Once and a while you can have pizza and you won't be unhealthy. I hope this made sense...
