So . . .
Girl #2, who shall be known henceforth by the much more complementary name, "S", is a Mormon. Now, I've known this for a few days now, but it didn't necessarily mean anything. If I found out that "S" was a Baptist, that also wouldn't mean anything, necessarily. However, my experience with both groups is that people of these unique sects of Christianity tend to frown upon my moral attitudes towards sex.
I believe that sex is a gift from God and that he looks down on my deeds as something wonderful. I don't sleep around, I only sleep with those I love and respect; intimates. I heartily embrace my homosexual friends, see masturbation as a healthy and natural act, and allow myself to enjoy pre-marital sex for reasons other than procreation.
So, I found today that she takes her church's beliefs very seriously. I have no intention of giving up my homosexual friends and masturbation so she can feel more comfortable. I might also have to give up my rock/metal/rap music and cursing. I might be willing to part with cursing. Understand that I am simply declaring that these are not options and I still have not heard her specifically state that she disapproves of any of them. However, her strict abstinance from cursing, caffeine, and rock music had me raising my eyebrows today (though not where she could see).
I did tell her I would never drink my coffee decaff. She just grinned. That made me feel beter about the possibility of us staying together. I've also cursed plenty of times, by accident, and she hasn't batted an eyelash. It's just that there are too many things that her church is opposed to and only so far I am willing to bend. If I give up alcohol, caffeine, cursing, and Rated "R" movies (This last would really cost her big time), she would need to give up her virginity, and then chill to NIN with my gay friends.
Understand that giving up R-rated movies would not include giving up porn. That would require that she totally satisfy my every sexual craving, which would include her tying me to the bed and nailing me with a strap-on.
Yeah. Not much hope for our future.
I might be getting a pic soon for my profile. Yay. Until then . . .

You have my sympathy.
As for the tattoo, I can't wait to sit through it. I'm not hot for pain, really, but somehow it feels like a rite of passage when I bear it for a little work of art on my skin.
I'll cry afterwards.
