Fast

Posted in Morals by Sean C. on April 15, 2008

Is there anything wrong with being “fast”?  By this, I mean rushing into things, mainly sex, with another individual.  When things are too right between individuals and they click immediately, (ok, maybe we can exclude the sex) are they considered fast?  There are plenty of scenarios and mindsets that we can apply to relations between the two.  We are always taught to go after what you want, but on the other hand we are also taught to take our time when making important decisions.  Should the later be considered when dealing with emotions?  Rushing into things is notoriously known to end up in bad results.  However, there are plenty of couples who fell in love after a short period of time and are still together today.  Sure they might’ve had the usual issues, but that’s just what it is, usual.  I’ve been guilty of being hesitant in pursuing individuals I have had feelings for a number of reasons such as me not wanting to be vulnerable, or doing anything wrong that could jeopardize my relationship with that person into becoming something more.  Was that wrong given the argument of always going after what you feel is right?  There are no ground bases when dealing with emotions and strong amounts of feelings towards others and that scares people when they have strong emotions for someone.  That’s not to say we shouldn’t act on them no matter what the speed.  If you consider another person to be “fast” put yourself in their shoes and question whether you wouldn’t do the same thing.  Ok you can be fast if you have sex with a very large number of people though.  Just to clarify that.
