Nothing wrong with understanding the dangers, but sometimes life's great pleasures are well worth the risk.

Personally, looks aren't important. Heart and kindness are. Nice people are worth it. For women, too. It is sad so many have forgotten that. BTW, for what it's worth? I personally had problems because I was so fat and ugly. Then I lost 150 pounds, and STILL had problems. Then I began to realize what was really important in life.

The thing is, faith is a gift. I enjoy going to my local Methodist church where everyone is welcome. Welcome to have communion. No need to be saved. No need to be a member. It is a gift from God. Welcome to dress up or not. Welcome to be gay, whatever. Meanwhile, so many churches are becoming the Pharisees themselves. Sad but true.

Personally, I think an honorable mention should go the the US Food Pyramid for proper eating. It has created an entire generation of fat people.

I eat a low-carb Mediterranean. My bloodwork is perfect. I have lost 150 pounds. I think what you have written here is very good advice. Oh, and I run daily and I am 72.

Other than recent historical paranoia with nudity, I can't see anything wrong with it. Certainly it is our culture, and not anything in our genetic makeup.

Personally, I think we should return to the times in history when freer sex was fine, even among married couples. This whole jealousy thing is absurd.

1. Why do I suddenly have the urge to pee in two oceans at the same time? It's on my bucket list for sure. 2. I was working in southern Japan and driving through the mountains after work. I unexpectedly drove into a bamboo forest. I got out ot the car and stared in amazement for a long time. It had a peacefulness to it that is very rare.

One thing an old person like me instantly recognizes about younger women: They consider sex as just something you do. There aren't a lot of preconditions and the like. Just do it. Why does an old person like me relate to that? Because it was the same when I was young. Women had a hippie flair, and liked sex for the sake of sex. Far different from the "bimbo" attitudes of the 1980s that linger in middle-aged women today.
