My previous post was on Guys, Sex, and Bragging. This is just a continutation of it.

I had a couple of intersting reads since then Mainly at Cynically Your's and a a post I saw a long time ago at Ravana.

It's quite sad to see a lot of generalisation happening. Sahini seems to think all guys out there (Except for her best friends) are out there to get into her pants.

But the worst part was at Ravana's post. He opened up the grounds for a good, intelligent discussion. A couple of good comments came up. But then shit hit ceiling.

Just have a read through all the comments. These people are really sexually frustrated. And I'm talking REALLY frustated. They make Ali G look sane!

What is with dong sizes, and the number of guys that one has had?

Guys, sex is a perfectly natural normal thing. It's perfectly normal to be gay, and it's also natural to experiment, that's all in human nature, if you prefer to take it up the "wrong" one, it's again your choice, along with using toys, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, chains, whips and even handcuffs.

But that's not what's happening here. What's with all the "You wanna suck me?"s and "Take my shift lever up your ezhaust" comments? If you have a good sex life, if you get laid every six hours, GOOD FOR YOU! But what in the world makes people think that they need to flash out all the little details and all their perverted fantacies up on public places with the hope of gaining respect? Or mre readership to their blogs?

Grow up, and think maturely about sex. If you can't do that, go to a pharmacy, take a connie, goto Bamba junct around 9:00 in the night, look around, choose one, drive to Marine Drive, bang all you want, pay her, go to Pila, have a cheese roti to get some energy cos your wimpy arse probably couldn't stand your first fuck, go home and SLEEP.

Or just double click your mouse.

Was talking to a friend online today, one whom I haven't met in a while, and asked him is he's going for the match, as he is

a) An avid sport fan
b) A loyal supporter of one of the schools.

His reply was that he's going out with a woman. And as I didn't know that he was in a relationship, he told me that he's seeing a girl who's in grade 12. Saying that he's a "naughty boy" and that the relationship is casual.

What is it with guys like this? The topic of the post, "My Dick is Bigger Than Yours" is the topic of a research paper done on male sexual bragging. Why is it, that they insist on bragging to everybody about the various sexual exploits they (imagined they) had?

Another example. This was over a casual drink once, and one guy was bragging his head off saying how he "had three women at once", and other various stories. Either he was drunk, or he assumed that the rest of us were too drunk to comprehend what he was saying. And the shocking part was, he was relating disgusting little details, in the hope that it would gain him "respect".

What's with all these Steve Stiffler-wannabes? Why are some people so damn proud about the (sometimes imagined) fact that they've had more sex than king Kashyapa himself? What's with the oh-so sexist attitude?

Correct me if I'm wrong Mr. Stiffler-wannabe, but I think, you are seriosly compensating for a lack of something, or getting back at the whole womenkind because something happened to you.

And the irony of it, as Eva pointed out, is that they sleep around to mars and back, and then expect to marry a virgin! Guys, if you screw all the virgins, no virgins left! Comprende?

Tis the big match season. The matches between brother schools are happening all over, and Dialog is apparently sponsoring them with the intention of making a quick buck. Good marketing, I would say.

Back to the point. These three days (Along with the One-day) are excuses to get absurdly drunk, meet old friends, show off your girlfriends, pick a fight, and have one massive booze party. And it gives one a chance to be loyal to one's college. And this is what I'm questioning, loyalty to schools.

A friend of mine from a leading girls school in Colombo bluntly put it at the end saying "It carries a lot of weight, to go to society and to be from *******", and for most, isn't that what it's all about?

To say, "I'm from the school where this great man came from, he played tennis, and captained the cricket team also you know... I didn't you shit in school, but I'm from that school"

But another perspective came from another friend of mine, who is from a very respected school, not for breeding elites, but for breeding intellectuals. He said that people from different stratas come in, but leave educated men.

What the new school structure has done is to create a barrier, to add to the numerous barriers we have. To create a generation of people, who think "I'm better than the rest of the world, cos I'm from.........

The Sunday issue of Lankadeepa proudly displays a small child being taken into the Sangha. Apparently it's part of a programme attract 2550 newcomers to the Sasana in Sri Lanka.

I see a couple of serious issues in this.

1. Most children who are taken into robes are around the ages 8-12. This country has age of consent for sex at 16. If the country recognizes the fact that a child at the age of 15 cannot decide for him/herself whether they can have sex, why doesn't the people recognize that it's impossible for a child to decide whether he wants to sacrifice his entire future to the Sangha Sasana.
2. There was a clip shown a while ago in a TV programme called Atapattama, where an entire family took to robes. This might seemingly be a very religious act. If the parents want to sacrifice their lives for a "cause", it's their life. Why the hell do you drag your kids into it?
3. When I've spoken to the handful of Samaneras in temples that I've been to, and when I ask them where they are from, it's generally areas like Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura, Hambantota etc. And the reason they took to robes was not out of the passion they, or their parents had for the religion, but because getting into robes is a surefire way of ensuring that your education is payed for, you're well nourished, and you're well looked after. Basically, the Sangha Sasana is seen by poor parents as a fully paid scholarship.
4. And what about the numerous sexual molestation cases against young monks? These people are at the peak of their sexual intensity, and they are strictly expected to abstain. And what happens is, their sexual tensions are relieved by the way of taking it up the wrong one with young monks, who have no idea what's happening to them.

Kill me for saying this, but to me the "conscription" by the Sangha Sasana is worse than LTTE and Karuna put together. At least someone points the finger at them, where as even our pathetic excuse for a leader hails this mass violation of human rights by Buddhist Monks.
