A Badge of Honour or Primal Stupidity?

Sleeping with several women or having self-respect and dignity for oneself? Which is better? If you ask my roommates, sleeping around. If you ask me, dignity and self-respect. Granted, sleeping with at least 15 women by the time you're 19 is an accomplishment, but it why strive for that if not more? Twenty minutes later, especially if it's a one-nighter, you're no further ahead in life and your ball sack is a little lighter. Repeat that several times, and the end result is you've laid 9 random women.

On the women you date, do you necessarily need to jump into bed right away? It sets the tone of the relationship. Sure it might be fun, and you get to see her again, but do you get any further in life? The last time I checked, relationships were based on how well two personalities got along and how well they communicate, not how much sex they have. It's an empty relationship. Holding off does one of two things: a) shows you respect her and b) makes you more desirable.

When you add up the one-nighters and the women you've dated, is there really anything to be proud of? I ask this question as my roommates wonder why I haven't brought home some woman to forget about the next day after living here for almost seven months. They also ask why I lay the woman I dated for a month. It's simple, I don't feel the urge to get in the sack ASAP. As far as I'm concerned, it makes things more awkward than they need to be. The next woman I'll be sleeping with must be a serious girlfriend, not [insert name here...if you can remember it] from that bar I forgot I went to last night.

Even if I do bend my rules, it isn't something I'd go bragging about. I've got better things to do with my life than make the Guiness Book of World Records for most number of women laid by one man.
