Why is sex such an important issue?
It's a pretty important issue, man. Sex is how we procreate, how we spread dangerous diseases, and it's also a nice recreational activity.
What does it matter that someone you know is homosexual?
No.
People seem to care so much about other peoples' sex life. Especially teenagers who are controlled by their raging hormones. Even older people, married or not.
True that.
I often come across people and the first thing they want to know is, "so are you straight? single?" What I want to know is, "why does it matter so much?" I think there are better interests and goals in life than sex and losing your virginity as soon as possible.
I agree with you here, but I've never been in a situation where people just ask random questions about my sexuality out of the blue. People usually don't ask that stuff unless they're trying to get to know you. And if that's the case, you really shouldn't be offended. Just take it easy, answer the question, and move on with the conversation instead of crying about it.
Personal note: I could sure as hell use a partner, but I have a goal in life which is more important to me than pretty much everything. That would be getting a book formally published and sold. I'm currently writing a lot of things and will be for a long time. It's my goal to improve my writing skills to the point that I can write a full-page book or novel and get it published.
Good luck with that, man. And you really shouldn't worry about finding a partner. Just continue to do whatever you. Don't live up to someone else's standards.
Call me an insensitive, selfish prick but that goal of mine is more important to me than having a partner. One desire outweighs the other here. If I could choose between getting a book published or having a mate, I'd take the book offer.
To be honest, anyone can publish a book, man. What matters is how the people receive it in my opinion.
So would anyone bother to enlighten me on this subject?
I guess I just did. Or tried to anyway.
