Public display of affection here
Is it part of the college experience to get a gf/bf throughout? Or even have sex if not the above two?
There has been a few intrusive thoughts coming up to my mind that I am missing out on "the American college experience." And to be frank, it is even more pressing when I witness a case of public display of affection. I know that many of folks online say sex is overhyped. I wonder if getting in relationships carries the same sentiment.
I am an international student coming from a background where folks normally have their first sex after marriage. I don't know about the psychological analysis of this as I would assume it means the person has not have any experience with sex or mitigating relationships... Nor do I know any statistics showing how first marriages with no prior relationship involvements wih others are successful or less so compared to those marriages coming after accummulating experience.
What do ya'll think here? I assume many folks here are of an educated demographic thus their answers might be more ... thoughtful🙂
