My Vagina is a beautiful creation of God.

It has taken me forty five years to come to a healthy view of myself and my body. I saw the Vagina Mon this year. I loved the humor and openness at the start of the play. Women sharing their stories and all. All the different names some women call their vagina was funny. The play gets more and more intense.My heart went out to each story. It was honest and I was glad I saw it. I reccommend woman to see it. It will give her an appreciation for at the very least honest stories. You do not have to like or agree with all the stories but you can at least, respect the story of some woman. for each woman Eve did a great job. I did not like her ending eating the cake. I guess, it was Eve's humor and not my own but it would have been better and more powerful to not have had that scene in it. I am a Christian woman and I like how my loving God made me and fashioned me. How he created male and female. He said after everything he made. It was good! and after He made Adam and Eve. It was very good!! We all, should have a least, a nice healthy view of ourselves. God is the one we should worhip and adore. When anyone goes outside this view he/she gets into problems. Sex is not love. Love is not sex. I believe you can have intimacy with out sex. Sex involves genitals but intimacy is taking a risk and sharing your thoughts,feelings, and ideas with another human being. Alot of people get confused in those two.

I don't think men will generally agree with the point that you can have intimacy without sex. See, we're always going to confuse intimacy and sex, because for the most of us, it's practically the same thing! Intimacy leads to sexual arousal and desire, at least for men, and sex is the ultimate act of intimacy. That's not to say we're completely shallow, at least not all of us. To have really great sex the emotional connection and intimacy needs to be there, otherwise it's like fancy masturbation. Some of us don't learn that until we are older. Nevertheless, I can say with confidence that kissing and caressing an attractive woman intimately will always lead those of us, at least with a functional libido, to think very much about sex, and to do that without having sex is like getting ready for a date only for it to be canceled. It's a huge disappointment, even more so if the man is in love and the sex never happens. I shudder to think how disappointing that would be to get so close to a woman you love and never have sex.

Englisher, I'd go far enough to say that most women would not agree as well. :P We love babymaking too, don't get that confused. Most of us think about it a LOT.

Personally, I believe that you can have intimacy without sex, but only to a certain point.. If I am in a committed relationship, love the person, and am becoming increasingly intimate with them, sex is going to happen. Personally, I believe sex is beautiful and that building up all that kissing and flirting and such is a wonderful prelude to sex. There's no reason to be ashamed of it and abstain**- it's fun, damn it ! If you are not going to fantasize about sex and eagerly await the day when you're lover says "Let's go to bed" with your significant other, then who ARE you going to do it with?

**= Unless you're a child or severely uneducated about sex. Then you probably should abstain

Humans are sexual beings, and there's nothing wrong with that. And hey, that doesn't mean you can't kiss, cuddle, and enjoy each other outside of sex. Cuddling and kissing are wonderful! But don't lie and say you have absolutely "pure" and sexually untainted thoughts about intimacy. I love my man, but if by now (5 years) we hadn't engaged in intercourse, I'd be pretty damn pent up and cranky. Or I'd just respond with, "That does it- get into bed or else I'll make you get into bed." ;P And FYI: No, it's not rape if a 100-pound girl coerces a strong, able(perfectly capable of defending himself) guy. >.>

I never have sex. It is always making love ! A real man will give a lady oral orgasms first and his pleasure second.
