What if you had only a little time left to live? What would you do? Whenever I think about this, it always takes me back to a documentary I saw where a bunch of teenagers with incurable diseases revealed their thoughts on the issue.
One of them commented on losing their virginity.
This really resonated in my mind a bit before I grasped what he said. He really wanted to have sex before he died, and probably knew that his chances were limited given his vital condition. I just couldn’t believe how we take this for granted every single day, especially the abstinent and sexually active, as I tossed the idea of being in his condition in my mind.
Heck, as a guy, of course I’d want to have sex too!
It didn’t take me long to forget what I saw that day.
That was until I saw a movie today, called The Be All and End All.
In short, it’s about a 15 year old kid with a deadly heart condition that wants to have sex before he dies. As unrealistic as the story unfolded, it really stuck me again how people in this situation react.
It’s unfair, cruel, sad. Whatever you want to say about it, to have to know that you would die soon is a real mindfuck when you’re an adolescent.
Whatever, it was just a thought.
I like this post!
Made me think a bit.
Thanks synco, I have to admit that I felt this was one of my crappier posts though.
i think he’ll be very disappointed if he actually managed to do it
The epitomising case of Murphey’s Law.
but hey, if he manages to hype himself so much that when he actually does it its a dream come true, then all the better for him
