Chastity Rings - Page 4

AllyOops! · 03-13-2007, 02:56 PM

I'm going to go all Mombo (read: Mom-like) here: I like those rings, and even more so the message behind them. Plus, those rings aren't an obnoxious proclamation. What I'm trying to convey here is that they are rather elegant and discreet. I think they are lovely in design and message. Certainly one wears a wedding band as a reminder of one's wedding vows. I mean, it's not a belly tee-shirt that says in monster glitter letters "ASK ME ABOUT MY INTACT HYMEN AND WHY".Y'know?

If you know me, I kid around ALOT. Especially sexually. I'm quite upfront. However, in real life? I'm quite the opposite and shy. But that wasn't the question here, was it? I certainly don't judge anybody's sex life. I keep my inflatable sheep to myself and hope others do the same.

Sigh. It looks like I'll have to keep wearin' my ruby encrusted "popped cherry" knuckle rock.

Lol, Ally!

I wear a wedding ring. That is a symbol of my commitment to my wife, and among that is sexual relations with only her. So in that way it is similar - it is a wait until marriage symbol.

Jewelry has all sorts of different symbolism. My three girls (being my wife and daughters) have add a pearl necklaces that gets a pearl added every birthday. There are many other examples.

I suppose it's just what you choose to commemorate with jewelry.

I'm thinking about designing a chastity toaster.

Let me see if I have this right. You are commemorating the conversation. Having a birthday - or, by extension, graduating from high school or retiring from work - are milestones to be counted alongside "had the sex talk".

I find that interesting, mostly because I knew about sex as soon as I knew about anything else in this world and learned the details gra. As for lessons on moderation, each thing in it's own time, politeness and modesty and love....I got those every single day as well. I could never attribute my stance on sex from one conversation with my parents, or one moment of "decision".

You could try counter by saying weddings and wedding rings are the same deal, but a wedding really is a change, a turning of a corner. If you were sexually active and decided to quit getting laid (and I do mean "decided"), that would make more sense to me as a "jewelry moment". Much how like AA members celebrate their "birthday".

Omg- I Googled 'Chastity Toaster' and got a Frat Blog.

Uhm, Scaeagles? I think you have some explaining to do......

I don't really have a problem with this kind of thing coming from the parent. It's the "programs" that are pushed that bug me. And before anyone can say, "You support sex ed from schools, why not this?" the message of proper sex ed is, "If you do X or Y, these are the facts you should know," not, "You better promise to do X or Y (or not do X or Y)." Big difference, imo.

Along the lines of CP's post, this had me thinking of DARE. I generally liked DARE as a kid. I agreed with the message, and it really did help me stay completely away from drugs through school. But I HATED when they'd do any sort of ribbon or bracelet thing (like tying ribbons to the school fence). Even as an elementary school kid, I saw that as completely pointless and insulting. What exactly was wrong with the actual information I was getting that I needed some stupid ribbon to really make it count? I distinctly remember that while the majority of my classes took the actual education part of DARE pretty seriously, we would openly mock the stupid ribbon events.
