The Virgin Diaries couple on their first time: ‘painful,’ ‘not like the movies’


That cringe-inducing show that TLC barely needed to promote, Virgin Diaries, aired last night. We were previously treated to a trailer in which we saw two of the stars share an awkward first kiss at their wedding. It looked like they were trying to eat each other’s faces off astheir family members were watching in embarrassed disbelief. In another clip (above), the giddy virgin couple describe how they’re going to prepare for sex by taking showers and literally disrobing. It’s hard to watch and even worse to imagine. In the show that aired Sunday, we got to hear their disappointment after they did the deed. The groom describes sex as “not like the movies” and the bride says it was “painful.” This is why you need to practice first.

TLC’s Virgin Diaries may have been short on sex, but thank God it wasn’t short on awkwardness. The Dec. 4 special gave us a peek into the lives of several people who agreed to abstain from any sexual activity before marriage, and while we’d obviously never criticize them for that decision, we will say it probably wasn’t the smartest idea to broadcast their first encounters on national television.

We were first introduced to a trio of best friends — Lisa, 30, Danielle, 29, and Tamara, 30 — who were so proud of being virgins that they even liked to get together and sing about their decision. But there was something off about their little song… and I’m not just talking about the pitch. Or the harmony. Or the melody. It turns out, one of them wasn’t really a virgin! Tamara described herself as a “reclaimed” virgin, which means she has had sex — many many times, actually — but has decided to wipe her slate clean. Because that’s something you can just do.

Then there was 35-year-old Carey, the only member of the cast who did not choose to remain a virgin — though he probably should have pretended it was a choice, because that would have made his tale way less embarrassing. It was also would have been better if he didn’t immediately admit to being a virgin while on a date. Here’s a tip for Carey: “I’m not very experienced with women” is not the best pick-up line. In fact, it works… about zero percent of the time.

But my favorite couple of the evening, hands down, was Ryan and Shanna, who refused to even kiss before tying the knot. They talked about kissing many times — often while riding the seesaw and giggling like manic toddlers — but it wasn’t until their wedding day that the big kiss finally came. And, oh boy, did it come. The minister probably should have said, “You may now devour the bride,” because Ryan literally attacked Shanna’s face like a snake feasting on a defenseless woodland creature. Their families, as well as the millions of viewers at home, watched in slack-jawed horror as the deed went down. – From Hollywood Life


Contemplating their first night together, Shanna says: ‘I’m a little nervous. Nervous about the actual intercourse I would say. I’m scared.’

Walking hand-in-hand, they talk strategy. ‘I think that you should take a shower first, and then I’ll take a shower, and then I’ll put on my lingerie, and I’ll come into the room,’ Shanna declares.

‘And I’ll have a surprise waiting for you’ interjects Ryan with a smile.

Shanna ploughs on with her plans: ‘We’ll have our robes on, we’ll slowly take our robes off, then do foreplay, and then have sex.’

Ryan then explains that he has never kissed a girl on the lips. ‘We’ve joked about it before, “Oh I really want to kiss you right now”‘ he says, leaning close to Shanna before abruptly pulling away. ‘Oh, nope,’ he laughs…

But after losing their virginity together on their wedding night, the couple have mixed reviews about how things went.

Speaking candidly, Ryan says: ‘It was good, but not as good as I was expecting,’ adding naively: ‘It was not really like in the movies.’

Leaving no details to spare, Shannin tries to sound positive saying it was an amazing experience – but adds that she found intercourse ‘really painful’. –

I’ll be honest, I didn’t watch this trainwreck. I meant to tape it but I forgot. When I checked Comcast on demand I was kind of relieved that it wasn’t available as I don’t want to have to sit through it. This reminds of of a woman who was on that VH1 show “Why am I Still Single?” She was a virgin and she insisted on telling her date about it the first time they went out. She got schooled pretty quickly by the matchmaker Siggy that it was totally inappropriate to bring that up so soon. I get that some people want to save themselves for marriage and that’s admirable in theory. For some people like this, though, it seems like it becomes the most important thing about them. If you build it up that much of course sex is going to be a letdown. Would these people have gotten married if they didn’t insist on not even kissing before making it legal? Also, you can’t “reclaim” your virginity, that’s ridiculous.

    THere’s a big world out there, kiddies… some people embrace it and go at it huge experience by huge experience… others may be more reserved….looks like these guys are just going to tackle it at a very reserved pace.

  3. Reece says:

    “The groom describes sex as “not like the movies” and the bride says it was “painful.” ”

    Reeeeaaaallllly, Sherlock?
    Nobody told them this beforehand?

  4. Jackson says:

    Ewwww. Seriously.

  5. Iggles says:

    I never want to watch this show. Still haven’t seen the much discussed kiss – by choice! Yuck!

    Why are they telling everyone about their wedding night? That just comes off as gross. They need to figure things out on their own — without blabbering to the whole world about it. I don’t understand how the Bride wouldn’t be hurt by hearing her husband tell the world it wasn’t that great? Geez.. These people need to stop the world vomit!

  6. hillbilly in the corner says:

    My goodness, what is wrong with this picture ! another way for reality shows to turn something good and sweet into something for people to make fun of…and these people are so stupid…Of course it hurt you stupid twit ! in the modern age of sexually overload she didn’t know that ….unbelieviable…and I mean I don’t believe it……

  7. duh says:

    EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.. Who cares?!!!???

  8. Blue says:

    I watched this and it was so painful to watch but do funny. Especially the “reclaimed virgin” even her roommates kept giving her the ” bitch please” side eye. Shanna’s dad was totally creepy though. Said he wished he was a fly on the wall when they were leaving to go consummate the marriage and he was going to talk to Ryan a couple days later to see how it went. ……ewwww

    • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

      I just posted that comment up thread before I read yours! That was disturbing!

    • Lisa says:

      OMG!! Yes! It was too funny. “Reclaimed virgin” my ass.

    • JenJen says:

      The “reclaimed virgin” just wanted in on the virgin pact the other two had, she probably just felt left out. I don’t get what the big deal is, if you’ve had sex you’re not a virgin anymore. Period. You can’t get it back, sorry folks!

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        And it wasn’t like she had just done it once, she had 7 different partners! Honey, you’re far from a virgin!

  9. Devon says:

    Well for one thing, your wedding night rarely goes down like its suppose to in movies, or at least mine didn’t. My husband got really drunk at our reception and the night was spent with me trying to get him out of his suit while he was passed out, face first on the bed, after he threw up in the hotel parking lot, and me undoing my corset back dress for like an hour. Sex? Please. We didn’t have sex until we were home 2 days later because his hangover was so bad! My friends all had the same experience. And secondly, sex is not fun the first time you have it. It hurts like a mofo!! Didn’t anyone warn her???

    • WillyNilly says:

      HA! Your wedding night made me giggle. Getting married next Summer and I’m 90% sure that will happen to us too. And thanks for the heads up. NO CORSET for me when I shop. Gotcha.

      😉

    • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

      my dress had a plunging neckline, and I didn’t want any wardrobe malfunctions, so I taped up my boobs (with double-sided tape). My wedding night nookie involved, what felt like, ripping a thousand band aids off of my boobs! Great foreplay (if you’re a masochist).

      • Feebee says:

        rotflmao.

        I had to take out about a 100 hair clips/bobby pins and I missed a few. Came this close [] to killing the mood.

      • the original bellaluna says:

        My current hubs and I did it small: barefoot on the beach where we had our first date; with my parents, our 3 closest friends, and my kids from my previous marriage; no one got drunk (we had a small gathering at my parents’ house); and absolutely AWESOME SEX that night!

    • okeydokey says:

      my husband and I both passed out from exhaustion on our wedding night and didn’t wake up until the next night!

      • Isa says:

        Haha! Y’all are cracking me up! I got married at a courthouse. Guess I missed out!

      • MyCatLoves TV says:

        Same here. My ex hooked us up with a great room with a beautiful hot tub….and we ended up changing into jeans, hitting the Burger King across the parking lot and – like you said – passed out from exhaustion. It’s funny. All the planning, the organization, the stress….and WHOMP it is over in a flash. The marriage didn’t last but I did have a great dress and funny memories! And wherever my ex is (spending his wife’s savings), I hope he is happy. I know I am — now!

    • TrollyDolly says:

      Yup, sounds familiar! My husband passed out from drink at 6am as I attempted to unlace my corset top dress…we spent 27 hours travelling to our honeymoon destination in Malaysia…as I cried from my own hangover on the flight and said I was sorry I married him…(not really, it was the hangover talking, not me) and it wasn’t until 4 days later we managed to “consummate” our union…

    • Original Tiffany says:

      Can’t believe I am admitting this! We had awesome sessy time in the back of the limo on the way to the hotel before we went on the honeymoon:)))

  10. Aviatrix says:

    Hmm depends on what kind of “movies” you’re watching I guess. Practice makes perfect!

  11. MorticiansDoItDeader says:

    After their “first kiss,” Shauna kept trying to kiss him and he looked visibly uncomfortable and frequently looked as if he wanted to pull away. He even described kissing her as “weird” and “something he would have to get used to” (or something along those lines). She was completely oblivious to the fact that they had 0 sexual chemistry. I happen to think Ryan is gay and has problems reconciling who he truly is with his religious beliefs.

    • NM9005 says:

      Mm, interesting take!
      It could be true.

      They both act like children and put way too much emphasis on the deed . They both lack intelligence and look pretty boring. Not compatible at all, quite depressing to watch that clip. Even blind people could see there’s something “off” in their chemistry. It’s a disaster waiting to happen. She seems warmer than him too, he seems asexual or as Morticians said maybe gay?

    • Blue says:

      Omg, I thought the same thing as soon as I saw him. My gaydar was beeping everytime he was on the screen. I think he’s gay and she was super horny. It was kind of sad she was so into it and he was all ” get this bitch off me”

  12. WillyNilly says:

    What is the purpose of this show? I mean, do any of us want to relive our first time?! NO. Why in the hell would I want to watch other people’s first times? And I am pretty sure they’re virgins because they’re socially awkward, which makes this about as intriguing as getting my teeth cleaned.

    • Nanz says:

      Amazingly, it’s on TLC. The Learning Channel? It hasn’t been that for a long time. More like the Tabloid Channel.

      • WillyNilly says:

        Right? The only learning I would probably absorb is: do not wait until marriage unless you want a very unromantic/painful honeymoon.

    • Tracy9s says:

      I think the purpose was to do a story about later in life Virgins. People in their late 20’s and 30’s who have yet to have sex. The thing that really annoyed me were the 3 girls, especially the one who went on the date with the douchy guy with the mohawk, then proceeded to ask him, on the first date what his expectations were for kids and marriage!!! I mean what the hell!! She is really lucky the guy didn’t excuse himself to go to the bathroom and just leave her ass!! But I’m not sure if that’s as bad as Carey the 35 year old virgin who told his date that he’s a virgin. I think all these people are socially retarded on top of everything.

  13. Kloops says:

    To each his own, but I couldn’t watch this freak show. The trailer was stomach turning.

    • ghoulish_moose says:

      Totally!!! I was so uncomfortable watching this trailer. I felt sooooo embarrased for them, that was pure cringeworthy stuff.

      I’m not watching any of this program, a clip was bad enough =O

  14. tapioca says:

    In the UK we have this TV show called Embarassing Bodies, in which patients who are “too shy” to go to their local doctor with a problem – mainly sexual, intestinal or skin-related – are quite happy to have their most intimate issues broadcast to a couple of million people. The mind boggles (but obviously I watch it)!

    I think Ryan & Shanna will be fine – no-one ever played a perfect violin concerto on the first attempt and in 2 years time they’ll probably have an S&M dungeon in their basement.

    • Miffits says:

      I always wondered why people went on Embarassing Bodies, free treatment or something? Maybe the NHS doesn’t cover mortifying bladder problems?

  15. LeeLoo says:

    These people belong in labratories.

  16. Lisa says:

    It was a funny show. SERIOUSLY, it had me laughing throughout the whole thing and questioning whether it was even real. Just too funny.

  17. madpoe says:

    Once upon a time. People paid money to watch a freakshow. Now every cable network has it on for free or perhaps its the price of my soul! This is gawd awlful!!!!

  18. Erandyn says:

    Ugh, it’s like they dug their heels in and decided to stay 9 years old forever. Or maybe they really can’t help being emotionally/sexually stunted, but they think that if they pretend that it’s a moral/religious “choice”, people will be impressed instead of sympathetic.

    • texasmom says:

      Wow! On the nose! They refused to grow up. Their #1 thing they have together is their refusal to have sex… not a recipe for a great marriage/relationship.

    • StopKiddingYourself says:

      Wow! You are so spot on about this one. Thanks for sussing this out. My b.s. radar was pinging the entire time I watched the show last night.

    • Girl says:

      I have every respect for people who choose chastity until marriage but I think you are 100% right about this group of people.

  19. only1shmoo says:

    Please, if you believe your 1st time is going to be magical and beautiful, with harp music playing in the background and a chorus singing “Hallelujah” at the end, then you’re a) talking to a repressed pastor, b) reading too much ‘Twilight’, c)displaying the emotional maturity of a 13-year-old, or d) all of the above…*psst*, I’m going with d)

  20. Val says:

    I second @Morticians comment that Ryan is gay, and I also think Shanna has some kind of mental handicap. That girl is not operating at 100%

  21. Erandyn says:

    I get the same kind of ewwww about this as I get about Courtney Stodden. They all act like children in adults’ bodies, pretending to do “grown up stuff”, from a child’s point of view.

    Imagine being 9 years old, seeing an adult movie (or accidentally walking in on your parents), and then having to try “whatever the hell that was” with your little boyfriend (and you only know he’s your boyfriend cos you spend time together and hold hands). Ick ick ickity ick!

  22. Girl says:

    Firstly, I dont think you have to practice. If you want to, great. But if you are getting married, the whole idea is that you have your whole lives to work on your relationship, sex included.

    Having said that, these people sound like they are being assholes about it. For the “wait for marriage” crowd, by and large, much of the reason is because we believe sex is sacred and should be PRIVATE and WITHIN MARRIAGE. Not broadcast for the world to see.

    Singing a song about the state of your hymen? Frickin gross and classless.

    And I don’t by that kiss at all. They’ve never given or seen anyone given a peck on the cheek? Mom giving dad a kiss? They were playing this crap up for the cameras.

    • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

      I bought that kiss. It’s exactly the way 12-13 year olds kiss the first time they try. Totally uncoordinated and awkward.

      • Alicia says:

        I have two thoughts on that kiss. First of all, in one clip, she actually kissed him, tenderly, on the cheek. I’m baffled as to why a first-time, at-the-alter kiss could not be something pretty, chaste, sweet, and loving, if not experienced. No one said it had to be a French!! ;P It would be politer to the wedding guets to keep it short and sweet. Many weddings I’ve attended more or less have the kiss getting lost in the action of the ceremony and you can barely catch that it happened. (That’s from more experienced couples, but they just don’t want to do that in front of hundreds of people, which seems socially acceptable and totally understandable. I don’t necessarily want to see people eat each other’s face just because I attended the wedding…). Secondly, I can believe it a bit if I realize how yearning and horny she looked, and how obsessed they both may have been with getting to kiss “for real.” My guess is they worked themselves into believing this was going to be far more special than it was, just like they did with the sex. From their comments, it seems that they watch a lot of movies. What I read into their kiss was that they assumed some magic force was going to make their first kiss into some kind of marathon Hollywood kiss, and so they just went at it!! I grew up around a lot of conservative people, and in a moderately conservative home myself, so like “Girl” said, I’m pretty freaking offended that these people were watching movie sex scenes if they don’t even believe in kissing one another before a specific date. Either be chaste or do not, but please, for the sake of everything holy, pick one team! I know a lot of Christian homeschoolers who are genuine about the idea of sexual purity, and to give them credit, they are the types who are eschewing all mass media and modern culture, etc. At least that’s consistent and a fair opinion, even if most people wouldn’t agree with it. It just seems even less common to abstain from kissing itself (many people like the idea of saving their virginity) and so therefore they were incredibly clueless about that too. We could imagine an awkward wedding night. We can barely comprehend what that kiss was all about! 😉 My take on him was that he was trying to conquer her or something since he waited 31 long years to kiss his bride. I just wonder why he didn’t plan it out, and make the whole thing less ridiculous? The first kiss can be small. You have the rest of your life to really make out. I blame run-away hormones I guess??? Or they are just actors and this is a creepy TV show…. 😉

    • fabgrrl says:

      Yes! Exactly. It doesn’t matter, really, what you do, or do not do, before marriage because you and your spouse build your sex life together. Who cares how “experienced” or “chaste” you are? It is a PRIVATE, SPECIAL, INTIMATE thing.

      I knew plenty of women in high school and college who chose to remain virgins. They wanted to wait until they were 18, or in love, or married, or just had no interest in boys of that age. But I only knew about this virginity-tidbit with my *close* friends. I wouldn’t want to spend time around someone who announces the state of their genitals to the whole world. Someone who harps about “greatest gift” and all that — hello? creepy! The women described in the article act as if their virginity is the best thing, or the only thing, they have to offer a husband. It’s really not all the important, ladies, in the whole scheme of a life-long commitment.

  23. kibbles says:

    I’m not criticizing them for waiting. There are too many people in the world having sex before they are ready or before weighing the consequences hence the millions of unwanted children, children living in poverty, and STDs in the world. But it is sad that considering that they place such a high value on virginity that they would devalue it by being on this show. Why share your first time with millions of strangers? It makes no sense. The first time is awkward, painful, special if your lucky to be with the right person. Most of all it is best kept private, especially when both partners are socially awkward, have never even kissed, and have zero sexual experience whatsoever.

  24. Chickie Baby says:

    Somebody get them some how-to books and good porn, pronto! And don’t let them back on TV! This was so horrifyingly funny it was difficult not to watch.

  25. MonicaBee says:

    That kiss was the single most awkward thing I have ever witnessed.

    Wow.

  26. JenJen says:

    I was quite literally holding my hand up in front of my face and cringing at certain parts of this show. Oh my GOD, who in hell thinks that is proper kissing?? The wedding kiss was just gnashing of jawbones, neither of them moved their lips, they just opened and closed their mouth holes against each other, like fish out of water gasping and thrashing around.

    I’m almost positive this guy is gay, he kept leaning away from her when she attacked him with her mouth and was weirded out by the whole kissing thing. Might be because she is a tool and doesn’t realize what an ass she was making of herself.

    • yael says:

      i almost spat out my mouthful of soup when i got to “opening and closing their mouth holes”.

      thanks for the laugh :).

  27. teehee says:

    Wait, how could it be painful if she wasnt a real virgin?
    To a true virgin- it does hurt; but seriously … ?
    And no, nothing is like whats its worked up to be- sex has been hugely distorted for mostly marketing purposes, so were all lead to chase after some fantasy which obviously doesnt really come true in real life. And for a host of other reasons-
    But the bright side is, it gets better with time and self-knowledge, and age, plus the better the relationship, the more blissful the play time 😉

    edit: another thing Id like to add, p0rn is what it is, because those women are being PAID. And because its playing into mens totally egocentric fantasies. Nuff said.

    • Isa says:

      She was a real virgin. The reclaimed virgin was another girl. Can’t be bothered to learn their names, sorry.

  28. SkyNet says:

    This show is NOT going to help promote abstinence. It really isn’t.

    I was flipping through the channels last night, and I caught the part with that God awful kiss. It was soooooo gross.

    I wish I could reclaim my virginity…Then I could forget about all of my dbag exes. hahaha

  29. Linnie says:

    These two look like they were hit in the face by the same frying pan.

  30. TG says:

    @JenJen – I too was cringing and couldn’t watch some parts. I agree with my friend who said this girl will be having an affair within 6 months. This guy has zero passion and you can tell she is just on fire as soon as she realizes he is a deadfish she will move on to hotter things. And that 35 year-old virgin guy who thinks he is some prize to women. LOL There is a reason he can’t get it. He has no clue about social behavior and he is no prize either. He actually thought the date with that lovely woman went well. It was obvious to me from her behavior and her words that she would never call him and didn’t want to hear from him again. When a woman ends a date saying something lame about facebook and “I have your number” that means I will never call you. Idiot.

  31. Laurie M. says:

    I think Ryan gave Shanna every excuse he could imagine for years to avoid any real physical contact with her. She finally called his bluff & there were no more excuses & no place to hide. He HAD to kiss her & have sex – he obviously was disgusted by it all. It was so bizarre and sad.

  32. I.want.shoes says:

    If this girl’s technique for a beej is anything similar to her technique for kissing, I bet it was painful. For him.

  33. gg says:

    I don’t watch this show, just learned of it, and have been subjected to short vids of the kissing at the wedding. I have to question if that’s real, since NOBODY kisses like that! They were kissing sideways and their faces weren’t even flush together – if they saw movies, or ever kissed a family member or friend a quick hello, then that would not have happened. And the jaw going up and down thing- ? wtf?? I have to wonder if there is a mental problem there.

  34. Firecracker says:

    I ran across this show channel surfing, and I thought, this really can’t be a reality show. I tuned in for 10 seconds…unbelieveable what the subjects for reality shows are now.

    When are reality shows going away??? Can’t be too soon for me. Pretty soon, that’s all there will be on. I hate them all…and yes, I mean hate.

  35. ezra says:

    I agree with Mortician.
    Remember that clip of David Guest kissing Liza Minnelli?
    Uh huh.

  36. Cheyenne says:

    Really, somebody should investigate the bride’s father because I am getting some major perv vibes off him. What kind of man says he wants to be a fly on the wall watching his own daughter’s wedding night?

  37. ezra says:

    Oh, that’s Gest.

  38. Hmmm says:

    Well, they certainly aren’t reality virgins! So it’s okay to spreadeagle naked before the entire world? TMI!

  39. the original bellaluna says:

    Sex is important in a marriage, and one should never, EVER marry anyone with whom one has no sexual chemistry. (It kind of blows the whole “virginity @ marriage” thing out of the water, but it’s the truth!)

    • Erandyn says:

      Word. Couples without chemistry usually end up complaining that they feel like they’re living with a sibling.

    • Sara says:

      Yeah, I feel like for certain religious people marry as virgins is almost like a fetish. It really isn’t practical in real life. I much prefer the go to college, experience life and then get married in your mid 20s to 30s. Seems like there is less likely hood people will get divorced when they have solid identities. Like, I’m sooooo happy I didn’t marry my first boyfriend. Or any of the guys I dated before I met my husband.

  40. Jayna says:

    A virgin on your honeymoon, ugh. A woman would be in pain from the first time, and the man would be wanting more and more like a kid in the candy store. Too much pressure for a female virgin.

  41. Crystalline says:

    Reclaimed virgin? Yeah, pretty much the only time you really can disqualify it mentally is if it was rape. Not sure how it works with that woman. You get to sleep with a lot of people then tell the next dude you are a virgin? Seems like the more accurate term is celibate or abstinent.

  42. Amanda says:

    They wait so long because it’s obviously such a personal thing then why film it for the world to see? That just doesn’t make sense to me? Anyone else?

  43. petalfrog says:

    If they’re that religious, odds are they aren’t using birth control. She’ll have got pregnant on the wedding night, then they don’t need to have sex again for 9 months. Mission accomplished.

  44. Genevieve says:

    That was brilliant tv. I thought the dude was at fault for that horrible kiss, but turns out it’s the wife that was trying to eat his face off. Amazing & gross tv.

  45. Memphis says:

    I saw a clip of the kiss and I bet even God was embarrassed by that display.

    Have they NEVER watch a movie with kissing before? How the hell did they get it sooooo wrong!? I mean it’s not that hard!

    As for them expecting the first time to be all magical “like the movies” …well, their idiots.

    • Havik says:

      I agree; even God must have cringed!!

      And is it just me or is everything admirable about saving yourself until marraige completely negated by the fact they’ve put it on TV?

  46. jamie says:

    OMG watched this last night.This couple creeped me right out! They really needed to practice kissing on a orange or something before the wedding ! there wedding first kiss was totally creepy, their lips were going everywhere it looked like they were trying to overlap each others mouths ! And the poor 35 yr old male virgin can’t remember his name.His friends took him out to a bar to try to help him get layed …soooo funny! poor guy ,he still did not get any lol

  47. JaneWonderfalls says:

    This is annoyingly weird…I can’t wait until they go away. Virgins or not. KEEP YOUR SEX LIFE TO YOURSELF! 🙁

  48. JaneWonderfalls says:

    Also when I was a virgin, I was never this stupid,weird or magoo! Gosh people it’s not rocket science.

  49. anony says:

    It seemed quite apparent to me that Ryan and Shanna were both mildly mentally handicapped. The girl’s sisters kept telling her what to do, to not attack his face, etc., and she was so earnestly looking at them and saying, “ok, yeah, ok”. I think it was a “The Other Sister” situation. That they were allowed on tv is shameful.

    I’m 24 & getting married in 2 weeks. I’m a virgin…. but I’m definitely not a freak. Just never met anyone I wanted to have sex with. I am fully aware that it’s going to hurt. Ohhhh well- practice makes perfect! 🙂

    Well that is why you spend time “getting to know yourself”. I was a virgin until 25, but I prepared my body for it- I wasnt going to allow any man to hurt me, so to say. I made sure that I was physically prepared because obviously, pain is not a part of the equation and any sick freak who thinks it is, ought to have his ballsack “popped”. No one is allowed to hurt me in that way and no one can make it sound romantic to me and Im not one who thinks self-sacrifice increases the value of anything.

    I can’t believe I’m the only one to bring this up, but that wedding kiss was totally manipulated by the video editor. They, Shanna in particular, provided him plently of material to work with, but still. First of all, the video is sped up for comical face-eating effect. You can see that in the trailer above (hint: watch the Pastor or whatever behind them). In the actual program that aired, I noticed they also did this forward-reverse-forward technique that I use when I’ve run out of video. For instance, if the kiss was five seconds, the editor could extend it to 15 by revering the video in the middle. He may’ve been required to do this once the video was sped up, which would’ve made the kiss appear shorter. That’s NOT visible in ther trailer. My guess is that kiss in particular last only two face chomps. But again, she did it plenty more times so yeah, crazy kisser.

      Thanks for the specifics. Obviously the show would have played up such a big moment in any way they could but not knowing video I didn’t know what those would have been. It’s kind of like how I tend to spot makeup tricks and deceptions…. 😉

    Sigh… this reminds me of when I was in my early 20s and my Mom begged me to join her fundamentalist church and even signed me up for a fundamentalist dating website in the hopes I would marry a hard core Christian and convert.

    ALL of the guys who were raised with these beliefs (I’m not talking about the ones who join after some life experience) were really hung up about sex. They put it on a pedestal but if they got married they felt like it was owed to them or something. Really, really creepy. Also one of them once compared 16th century Italian art to pornography.

    Of course I ended up marrying an agnostic who is really, really normal.

    It really seems like most of these people have an agenda to promote and it backfired on them. Big time.

    Do you remember that Madmen episode where Sal is telling his wife about a new ad campaign he is working on that played on Anne Margaret’s Bye Bye Birdie, and he goes on to describe the campaign and demonstrate the dance moves and he is prancing about and the wife is sitting on the bed watching and all of a sudden her face drops and the “aha” moment arrives where she has the “Oh my god my husband is gay” realization. Well, unless this chick has had a lobotomy, the aha moment will dawn on her too.
