Virgin/Whore

[La Lioness Priyanka]

Poll question: Virgin/Whore

[achtung_circus]

1. Sex is the answer

What was the question?

[tigereye]

4. c'mon now, how about something other than the dichotomy?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. dichotomys are more fun

on a DU silly lounge poll

[tigereye]

15. true

I just prefer a little more turf to move on...

[Whitacre D_WI]

14. I like the virgin/whore.

The sacred abutting the profane, y'know?

[tigereye]

18. but they aren't really "abutting" each other you see

as you so succinctly put it; they are often seen as mutually exclusive; that is the nature of dichotomy ( that even rhymes) and hence the problem. Whew gettin' too deep.

[Whitacre D_WI]

20. Nope.

The dichotomy is false. Strip away the illusion and see the reality. The Virgin (should be capitalized, as the "Virgin" of the old dichotomy refers to Mary of Nazareth, daughter of Anna; as opposed to just some schlub who's never had intercourse) and the whore are one and the same -- whether potential or kinetic, energy is still energy.

Feel the energy.

24. my issue is with the way society has tended to limit

female sexuality - nice ex-Catholic girl here. Your argument is a good and interesting one( oh God you weren't a Philosophy major were you?) or smoking too much... uh

I need to look at this from an archetypal perspective, hmmm, interesting.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

27. i am female and i think the virgin/slut issue is mockable

and should be mocked...with soap no less!

[tigereye]

33. yes

I just get tired of society's one or the other perspective, it is so much more complex than that. And confusing when I was younger.

[Whitacre D_WI]

29. 12 years of Catholic school, and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy here.

:hi:

[tigereye]

31. aha guessed it from your phraseology!

BA Engl. Lit Minors in Psych and Philosophy
M.Ed. Counseling
post masters work in Psychology

and

6 years of Catholic grade school
1 year Catholic Women's college ( referred to as whore hill, frigid ridge - see what I mean, one or the other)

related to priests and nuns!

[Whitacre D_WI]

34. Yes, but mostly...

...I'm just a funky prophet!

[camero]

2. I think everyone is

a little bit of both.

[arcane1]

3. hmmm....

I chose an answer but I'm not sure of the question.... are you asking for preference? What we hope will meet us in the afterlife, etc? :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. yes

[arcane1]

11. then my choice is clear

experience counts :evilgrin:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. some people are born good

some men are very slutty and never get any better

[arcane1]

25. I think I know them personally

:P

I'd have to place myself somewhere in between the two extremes...

[Blue-Jay]

16. It's not offensive, but it's dumb.

To imply that a person is a "virgin" OR a "slut" is Freeper-Think at it's stupidest.

Yes, priyanka, I'm well aware that you meant this in a light-hearted way. I'm just not a man that believes in absolutes.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. not even in absolute silliness

its the lounge...laugh a little

[Blue-Jay]

19. I laugh a lot.

Especially when things are funny.

[Groosalugg]

5. This is offensive.

:silly: :eyes: JK.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. sure groosalugg

i am known to offend!

[Exultant Democracy]

13. Ha ha, I was scared for a second there.

Then again perhaps your joke is prognostication. I wouldn't be surprised if the thought police swooped in on their wings of righteousness, and told us how sexist this post was soon.

[achtung_circus]

6. What we hope to BE in the afterlife nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. or in this one!

[Duckiesplaything]

21. Slut all the way

No other way to be....and damn proud.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

22. Virgin with a twist of slut

Sounds like the new britney spears album!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. lol

yes it does

[arcane1]

26. we're getting back into the martini metaphors now

:silly:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. you still at work?

[arcane1]

32. on the way out the door now...

might DU a little bit when I get home, then it's out the door again!


seems like I'm always in or out of some door or another...

[The Rock]

28. No no no no no no no no no...

Britney Spears is no virgin!

She's more like "Slut with a twist of virgin."

[girl gone mad]

35. A slut..

pretending to be a virgin pretending to be a slut.

[The Rock]

36. That's better.

:thumbsup:

[Reality Not Tin Foil]

37. not a virgin

The worst place to be a virgin is in the afterlife. You get to be one of 70 some other virgins who entertain the horny suicide bombers. Ugh!!!
Id way rather be a slut.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

38. funny!
