Uncle Ho,

VVGFU and valiant venus are not the same person. Valiant venus used to be Mighty Aphrod*ite, and VVGFU is her personal “troll.” :-)

When did you all lose it. Far as I know since my grandmothers generation, the age of lost virginity hasn't changed all that much. I was 15. I am now in my 40's. Given the chance to relive those years, I'd do the same. Why are we so hung up? I hope the young people we have asked to kill and die overseas throughout the years have enjoyed the gift of sexual contact wed or unwed. Can't possible hurt a young soul anymore than asking them to kill or die or both. By the way the Dare program doesn't work either. Alright fess up. When did you all lose it.

It also showed the vast majority of states with rates under 10 were red states. However, neither post showed up. I find that a little odd.
