Resistence Is Futile

Over on my other blog, I wrote a post talking about the upcoming Superbowl ad that was paid for by Focus on the Family, on behalf of Heisman Trophy winner, Tim Tebow.

Part of his conservative allure is that he is a virgin, waiting to have sex until marriage. Now there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, I was a virgin when I married, so I can't be throwing stones around at others. But for me it was easy. I wasn't famous and well known. For Tim, this is bit harder. He's in the press, he's a sports jock, he attracts all sorts of people, including some very attractive females, as evidenced below:

I need to clarify myself here. I'm not implying that just because you have a pretty young female that you are spending time with that it's expected to bed her. But from a public persona, being seen with such an attractive woman, the implied notion that you are bed partners will run through most people's minds, mine included.

With that disclaimer out of the way, let me make my point here. He's a virile young man, attractive himself and he's talented. While saving himself for marriage is admirable [and most likely marketable for him as far as the press is concerned], the theory of it is completely out the window. At best, he's going home and rubbing one out after each date with someone like her. Again, if it were me in that position and holding onto this abstinence pledge of his, Some kind of sex is going to happen.

So my point is this: Mr. Heisman can say whatever will satisfy his belief system. He doesn't have to be Slutmaster Jack on the town. He can still be a gentleman and able to wake up with a smile on his face. But if these women he's with are not satisfied [or being satisfied, as the case may be], he's going to look like he's a player off the field. And having that image along with wearing the chastity belt, he's going to come off [and get off, privately] as looking like last year's model.

C'mon Tim. There's some of us that will support you if you decide to do more than dance.
