I'm not talking down on sex. I'm saying it's not the be all end all. That's what putting something on a pedestal means.

In my particular case it really fucked me up. Raging hormones, poorly socialized, no support network, bad luck, poor communication, and shitty judgement. Yay, puberty.

In general chasing sex for its own sake can be destructive.

That said if you come from an unbroken family, have a network of good relationships, and have learned to have a healthy attitude towards sex... then you're golden.
