I'd like to create a thread for this 'phenomenon', if it's accepted, of course (I think it is). I have opened up to the topic more often lately and it is quite easy for me to talk about, for some reason. I wonder if there are other people here who consider themselves out of the age range for when it would be considered normal to lose one's virginity (17 is the average age, by the way). Please share your stories, points of view, religious reasons or perhaps fears!

I'm almost 23 and still a virgin. Not so 'old' for it to be considered truly strange, but I do feel some sort of peer pressure regarding sexual relationships coming from my environment. I've dated a few guys around my age but I suppose that around this age, sex comes before romance, because none of them engaged in any romantical activities with me (going out on dates, having a bite to eat, or anything else that could be considered fun, or activities that would allow two persons to get to know each other better), and they left me because I did not want to engage in sexual activities after two weeks of seeing them. It was the only thing they talked about, quite frankly. When would I be ready, how I would feel about having sex with them to get to know them better, et cetera. They wouldn't ever let the topic rest and appeared to be solely focused on the first time we'd be having sex. Apparently in this age it is easier to discover romance through sex, than to discover sex through romance. I do not know if this makes me old-fashioned, but I do feel like the odd one out there.
 
It's not quite often that I entertain in fantasies about having a sexual relationship with an actual person. I haven't ever felt sexually attracted to someone who I have dated as I personally consider this as something that needs to grow over time. Sometimes it makes me feel dirty to think about it, as in that I don't like the idea of sharing my body with someone else before I truly know how to trust them and that I am certain I will want to spend the rest of my life with them.

So what you are saying is that once someone loses the image of 'perfection', they deserve to be treated like less than that? I suppose that is what is wrong with this world, it actually does not surprise me that Visual Kei followers (because I cannot call most of them fans) think they have the right to make attempts on someone's personal life. Of course they dress up to gain attention; that is what this whole scene is about. Dragqueens look the way they do because it is a business, circus artists look the way they do because it is a business. Does them removing their makeup or shedding their extreme attire so they can live their personal life after their job call out for an attack? No, it does not.
The Visual Kei scene is revolting in where it thinks it needs to make the lives of musicians a living hell. I do not understand what goes on in the minds of Japanese girls (and some Western ones who participate in this nonsense), or what drives them to believe that uncovering every single negative truth about someone who they do not personally know and have no business with, is okay.

I recongnised Kyouka with red hair, but the one in white also looks like Kyouka and makes the same faces Kyouka used to make while in Aliene Ma'riage so I thought it was something  like and alter-ego.
 
Thanks, Neolicht.

Ayabie could have been an all vocal band at one point?

Not cool, Kyo. You may not agree with thom35's opinion, but that doesn't make it irrelevant. There's absolutely no reason to be rude, so let's chill out a bit.

ladies, please, not all at once.
 

Hope we get some kind of video of this.

Kei is alive!

What a way to welcome new members.
 
Anyway, looking forward to the new single. DOGMA & UGLY were two great releases.

That's a pretty bullshit conclusion you have there. 

The whole DARK AGE thing was sooo boring to me. DOGMA and UGLY were nothing new. I mean, these are good works but I've heard that music from post-hardcore bands I used to listen like 7 years ago.

God it doesn't take much to impress on this forum anymore. Gets stale real fast. Already considering taking it off my hard drive. Boring chugfest 6/10

Why don't Japanese bands tour in america anyway? Is there just a much smaller fandom here than there is in Europe I guess? I know the fandom is pretty huge in south america. Or is it just easier to tour in Europe for whatever reason?

Poor Izumi, the temptation of the Dark Side was too strong...

This is literally the dichotomy of good and evil

Oh wow, kotekei realness!

MH's Disappointments: Worst of 2015

Welcome to the ORZ spitroast where the only flavor is salty:
far east dizain lycaon disbanding and nearly breaking the forum DIM 2.0 didn't happen Femme Fatale's name was too accurate Yohio/Disreign did Gazette better than Gazette R.I.P. art kei (Moran, yazzmad, etc. disbanding)  mejibray's entire 2015 career Just Eiki... er.. Paradigm Paradox DECAYS' "secret mode" probably should have stayed a secret D's one-man venues keep getting smaller and smaller. By March, they'll be curb-side next to Maria Cross kisaki breaks another body part. fans ask for hospital records Another year, another one of Tenten's bands goes on hiatus... That one time Matenrou Opera tried and failed to rock body paint like Rihanna the best song released this year by nocturnal bloodlust was a cover of a taylor swift song Deathgaze breaking up and Tanuki's reaction was essentially "Just listen to Static-x" toe only being really good Haisuinonasa-induced blue balls ling tosite sigure's EP chouchou merged syrups. somehow being mind-numbingly marginal nestle x gackt collab announced next year DOAK happened How hard DuelJewel tried this year Kamelot released an album, which means a new Matenrou Opera album will soon follow DEVIL KITTY's mini-album calmando qual retired for duty Shiina Ringo thought using autotune was a good idea YUKI's PV for 'Sukitte Nandarou' looking like a trippy interpretation of BEYONCE's 'single ladies' and sounding even worse A.L.B.U.M.S -With Titles Like This- AKB48's "Halloween Night" was truly nightmare inducing the core of Jupiter broke apart this year. hizaki and teru promise to keep the music just as boring as before What were your disappointing moments of the year?

They should name their new album "Blue Balls'

I was wondering when will this be, since it was the pre-album sold-out, but does not say when its release, hmm, Well, it will be easier to ask Sho on his Twitter account @lacroix_sho/ that always answer my Tweets, Ask for the release album, I hope I'm gone well with response!.
 
Cheers!

This minus the edgyness.
No matter how much you downtune your guitar, your riffs don't get any more interesting.
Why even try what you can't pull off.

Kyouka; ultimate saviour of Visual Kei.

they will hold their 10th anniversary one-man live "白夜ニ燃ユル花(byakuya ni moyuru hana)" at Takadanobaba AREA at 2016/05/14
