It is always in the last place you think to look?
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Once I had unusually set my keys on the refrigerator. I must have opened the freezer, and my keys fell into the Ice bin in the freezer door. Took a whole day to find them. Heck, I look in the freezer three times before I checked the ice bin.
Boy did I feel silly.
Top that?

that were the case. Frequently it isn't found even in the last place I think to look.

Most people stop looking once they find it. Therefore, the LAST place you look.

I knew you would argue that statement. I do disagree though. Some things, once lost, are never found again. It's what you do after they are lost that make up your world.

A highly valued treasure that for some reason nearly eveyone wants to lose. Once I lost it, I certainly would not have known where to look to get it back. The girl I lost it to didn't seem to have it anymore.

Interesting point, however, virginity like other things, we say lost, but are they really? We choose when to give that up. Did we really lose it?
I think most of us give it away to the person we want at that time. when it feels right, we lose nothing.
Car keys are another matter. Hate when I can't find em.
Lose what you wish, find what you need,
that is my wish for all of you,
Kevin

Because it is on the ocean floor does not mean you KNOW where it is....
No more than I know where Jimmy Hoffa is.... because he must be on earth....

I am nonplussed at the shallowness of some of the responses to these two points. Just look at What timmy and smith wrote below about the power of friendship to save lives. Kevin, not everyone loses their virginity because they choose to do so, and when those people lose their virginity they also lose their blissful innocence.
Marc, all those people who have been raped and abused (and there are several such who regularly visit this MB) would give anything to recover both items. Their loss is the pain of their life.
Let's have a little more humanity in this discussion, please. A kind word, a supportive thought, a virtual hug can do wonders towards making the irreplaceable loss that much more bearable.
Have a good weekend.

I don't think it is just a British trait to have gallows humour [thehumour that makes a huge joke out of adversity]. We need, at times, to trivialise even the most serious thing in order to survive it emotionally intact.
Sometimes the humour is in very poor taste, but even then it makes a point of humanity. Sometimes the seriousness is in very poor taste. Look at Political Correctness [oddly this started as a sketch on a US satirical TV programme] as an example of over-seriousness.
I think we're about right here. Ingenious questions (Marc is good at those, remmeber the difference between pink and purple?) and a whole gamut of answers.

You dont have to loose your virginity just because of a rape..
and innosence can be dragged out of a person, either in the span of a heart beat or over several months...
I learned from my experience... I used it as a tool rather than an anchor...
Albeit there were up times and down times but in the end I did as I resolved within myself to do..... I won!!!
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Well said steve and I am in agreement, and Timmy you are right about the british sense of humor being "right on" even if it is sometimes warped. Marc, well, I have a heck of a time following your comments anyway. Even though I am 6'5", they still blast over my head. Maybe I need to take some whit home study courses.
When it comes to virginity, and remember that we have two (to a man and a woman), there is way too much made out of it. Especially when you are young. I was a virgin to a woman until I was 26, and I am still a virgin to a man. For years I was too afraid to tell anyone that it took me so long, as I was embarassed. I now realize that loosing your virginity can be as little as getting drunk where you may not remember it. I now say "who cares!".
What really counts is your first love. And as someone else said above, this can take many months to fully enjoy (as opposed to 10 sec). For anyone that has their virginity taken or lost it in a moment of drunkenness, your first love is what you have to hang on to, and you will remember that until alzheimers kicks in.
Hugs, all
