I don't think I'm missing out

[_sock puppet]

I've never been high before.

Weed is good.

I've also never used tobacco

If my wife dies before me, I'll take up pipe smoking (with Stak, of course!).

gotten drunk, had hard liquor, or even had wine. I've had beer a couple of times but did not like it.

If you ever do, just make sure to drink 12 oz of water with each oz of liquor, 2 oz of water per oz of wine, an ounce of water for each ounce of beer. You'll have fun without paying the price.

Heck, I don't even like tea, though on a cold day I'll occasionally drink coffee.

Coffee is always better than tea.

I've never had sex with anyone but my wife.

If you were single, sex with protection would be good. You've committed fidelity to your wife. It's good you are keeping your commitment better than JSJr did his to Emma. I've suspected almost from the moment you registered and posted that you have more morals than that alley-cat.

good run or a long swim

Whatever floats your boat.

I suppose if I thought something was missing in my life

The only thing missing in mine is that 20 some years at the front end, especially two in particular, that I was under the spell of LDS Inc. If you figure a way that I can get that back, I am all ears.

I plan to try lots of drugs when I turn 90 (assuming I make it there). I will start with the gateway drug and work down the list from there.

I will also make sure to select the right music tracks that go along with each drug.

I really enjoy listening to the Doors' The End, when high. Haven't done any weed since the 90s.

Gotta say, zeez, you'll want to take a trip to Amsterdam for your 90th birthday.

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.

If you don't feel like you've been deprived then I would say you haven't been.

Some people are interested in trying certain things out, some people never have the urge.

Some people like some of the things you mentioned after trying them, some people don't like them after trying them.

I'd say it's all pretty individual. One could lead a wonderful life without all the things you mentioned, but one could also lead a completely miserable life without them as well. And vice versa.

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

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.

The primate on Kolob sure cares seems to care a lot about other primates exchanging bodily fluids. One would think that he has other matters to occupy his time.

I tried alcohol in large quantities; I tried sex, trying to find the right man; I tried drugs; I OD'd on religion. I tried marriage. None of them made me happy (although the man was the wrong one).

Now I am happy with just tobacco and coffee and books, and a healthier faith. Your mileage may vary.

If you don't feel like you've been deprived then I would say you haven't been.

Ignorance is bliss? I'm not sure that's always true.

Hey Rambo

That's good! If you were single I would be encouraging you to have sex with protection.

I wonder what Protection's dad would think of your encouragement.

The feeling is great and it's hard to beat.

Peace,

All cool.

If you're satisfied, you really can't be deprived.

I like a dirty martini a few times a week, and I'm always in the practice of pushing the limits of good taste with regard to my use of profanity, but other than that, I'm actually a pretty "good girl" myself, regardless of what other people have to say about it (I really have no idea how I got the reputation I have, but whatever).
