Procastination: Es una puta. Excuse me while I attempt (but most likely fail) to get my life in order. But I promise to post regularly. :) Forgive me?
In the essence of appearing unbiased, I'm willing to look at the other side. The face that the actual act of sex is so intrusive, so invasive, how could it not be a big deal. Well, of course it's a biological process, and all animals do it, but it's different for humans, just like picking a mate is different, or hell, pooping is different. It comes with emotions, with ties, with feelings (don't lie, you know you feel hella relieved when you let one out that you've been holding in all day :p). It's not some random occurring natural event that we can just chalk up to science, it's this wonderful, physical act that bonds you, physically, hormonally (eww, I know) and emotionally to a person.
Depending on the person you do it with, it could be the most amazing, or the most heart wrenching event of your life. It could cause you to change in ways you never foresaw, to grow older, wiser, more mature. It could bond you to this person for the rest of your lives, or one night, or heck, an hour (insert "One Minute Man" joke here). It could set out the way you view women, men, love, relationships, life, for the rest of your days.
That's the reason why Rape is so painful. Because someone is forcing themselves into, into a part you that's so secret, even you can't see it :), into the part that you only let people you have a connection into.
Just like any coming of age ritual, it affects you. Especially the first time. Sure, it's not that big deal. But it still is kinda a big deal.
