Sex. Oral sex, premarital sex, sex after marridge, kids. Its all over the papers today, Straits Times and New Paper.
In The New Paper there is an article that interviews the two extremes of teenagers about their opinion on oral sex.
Teenager 1 : 17 Year old boy, switches girlfriends every two months, has sex at least twice a month. He thinks that oral sex is ok, and that Singaporeans should be more open minded, and premarital sex is fine.
Teenager 2 : 17 Year old girl, conservative christian, most friends still virgin, virgin, plans to stay that way till marriage. She thinks that oral sex is disgusting, for goodness sake she thinks that normal(if there's such a thing) sex is disgusting.
Kinda typical, don't you think? What about my opinion?
Teenager(me) 3 : 19 year old boy, conservative christian, most friends still virgin, virgin, plans to stay that way till marriage. He thinks that oral sex is weird. Why would someone would want to have oral sex when having 'normal' sex would be so much better is beyond him. But what would he know, he's still a virgin. Does not think that sex is disgusting. But then, which guy would, he asks?
In the Straits Times, its all about kids. Looks like the government has again requested that the newspapers run articles on successful working mothers, stay-at-home fathers, reasons to have kids and reasons why people don't have kids and how to overcome them. The government is working hard, and i wonder if Singaporeans will be convinced by this and go out and have kids. Go home and have kids, i mean. not very good if people starting the process of having kids out in the open. But what interested me was the article about why singaporean women were afraid of being mothers. Apparently, Singaporean women want to be the 'best' mothers. But fear that they would not be able to may stop them from having kids. The average Singaporean woman is still traditional, and still believes that the best mother is the stay-at-home mother, taking care of the kids. But because of the Singapore education system and high standard of living does not make that possible. So they fear that by having to work, their kids will lose out on a full time mother. thus they don't want their kids to suffer that, and so they rather not have kids until they can stay at home.
Stay-at-home fathers are still very uncommon, with the man's ego still telling him that the man must bring home the bacon. The man should be the head of the house, and should be working, while the woman stays at home to mind the kids. Although the number is rising, it is still not significant enough. This is not helped by the fact that the average Singaporean woman would rather her man go out and work, while she stays at home and takes care of the kids. In fact, one in four women would rather their man work and they stay at home.
Now for my views. I am for kids, and if possible, in the future, if i ever find a girl and settle down, i would want to have at least one kid. But i don't believe in hiring a maid to take care of the kid. If anything, at least one person needs to stay at home to be a full-time home maker. Its neccessary in order that my kid grows in the way of the Lord and having a good example at all times.
Proverbs 22 : 6 B ring up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
But would i be willing to be a househusband? Stay at home, do housework, teach the kids, change diapers while my woman goes out to work? Well, to be honest, i'd rather not, cos the old male ego still says that i'd rather work and take care of my wife than the other way around. But when it comes down to it, if my future wife earns twice as much as me, it'll be utterly stupid for her to quit her job to take care of a kid while we suffer under my income.
But hye, i'm just fantasizing here, cos i don't even have a girlfriend yet. Sigh. One day i will, if God is willing.
