it’s going to be OK.

well some guys are sterile. It’s a very simple procedure, but that procedure usually happens when were older (voice of experience here). However there is a problem in some young men where their testicle(s) get twisted inside the scrotum; yes, I understand it is as painful as it sounds. This problem can leave a young man sterile. All that aside. We should never have unprotected sex these days. Also as everyone else has said… the lack of a cycle for so long is an issue, worthy of an exam.

I’m curious… how long did you know this guy before you dated him?

HEY… wake up… using a condom these days is NOT just to prevent a pregnancy - it to save your life!

Go to a clinic… don’t you have a Planned Parenthood clinic around you somewhere? … get tested.

opps… sorry you said that before :) my bad.

[quote WhiteLoomCrows]I was 14 and I was living in a treatment center at the time. This dude came up to me while we were at the aquarium in December of 07 (like a co-ed field trip) and he was like “Hey, date me, chick.” So we like went up to the top of the tower and all these fish were frozen, and I was a bit sad so he gave me a hug and I gave him a kiss. I was released a month later. Six months after I was released, he killed himself. It was good while it lasted, though. He was a good person.[/quote]

wow… a sad story, but also bitter sweet - thank you for sharing.

how did you get to the slopes when you were only 13??

[quote Cell]I was 13 and we went on a youth group day ski trip. I had never been skiing. He took me to the top of the run and took off. I just kept falling and falling. I was scared and alone and scared of hurting myself real bad because I didn’t know what I was doing. I took of the skis and walked all the way down in the ski boots. I spent the rest of the day in the chalet.

I didn’t date again until I was 17.[/quote]

I hope the date at 17 was better than the date on the slopes :)

well… while you are still smaller in stature then the average woman, it’s better than being a guy that height. Remember you are only as good as you think you are, and ya gotta love yourself before all else. Do that and your height will have little impact with the people you care about.

The Twin Towers, and Return of the King

what sex are you? Ultimately, your height has nothing to do with the quality of person you are. However, here in Western society, there is a stigma attached to short people (the same as with obese people) that can invade many aspects of their life.

I think ultimately the door to door thing looses a great amount of appeal and is transferred to the infamous Halloween Costume party

Watch “The Miracle of Life”, it may be an old video, but it talks about every aspect of the human reproductive process.

[quote Marylou]Thanks for the invite Richard. :)
Love is something I can’t resist… no matter what shape it takes! And yes, it’s an awesome ride! :)
Nice to see you back writing posts here, even though I’m hardly ever here myself! I’ll have to admit, the love I feel for my friends here still draws me back in from time to time. See how strong it is? lol :)

Love you, my friend. xx :):)[/quote]

Thanks Marylou… I love you too. Our relationships are very powerful… even if they are only on the internet.

Thanks for your input. I hope you have a great time this Halloween. I wrote the following article for the San Francisco Examiner.com. I didn’t get much input here, but from my research and personal opinion I wrote this: http://www.examiner.com/x-12479-SF-Pa…

[quote beatricegalant]What a great post! I liked the video too.[/quote]

Thank you so much :) When someone shared that with me, I saw it first thing in the morning. It was so great I had to share it :)

[quote PolarizingPolly]Hey! I see you got the BA! Congratulations! It is encouraging to see someone stick it out and finally get the reward for all the hard work! YEAAAAAAA![/quote]

Thanks :) It’s good to be back, just have to get used to everything again. I’m on the home stretch for the BA, but I’m so close I can taste it! This quarter is all about Adulthood psyche, Myth, and The Shadow :) Going to school part time is a long process but I WILL finish that’s for sure :) It’s all kind of a mute point though because I’m going for a Masters afterwards… I’ll be in school a while yet!
