How do you see Straight Edge ?

**xVinceWHCx** · 07-06-2009, 04:25 AM

Okay so I made this thread 'cause I want to know HOW people see the Straight Edge way of life so :

1- No alcohol, No drugs, No tobacco
2- No alcohol, No drugs, No sex without love (tobacco is include in "No drugs" of course ;))
3- No alcohol, No drugs, No sex without love + vegan/veggie
4- Hardline

So let me know :) and if I asked this question it's because at the begining the SxE way of life was the first one so I want to know if most of the SxE (nowadays) live with the first or the second choice

Thanks :)

No alcohol, No drugs, No sex without love, AND NO TOBACCO

IF YOU SMOKE U'RE NOT EDGE
Youre just another druggie addicted to smokes

Yeah yeah but in the second choice, tobbaco is include in "Drugs" but it's not write ;)

I will edit my post XD

My standard includes smoking, alcohol, drugs, and no sex without love + 1.5 year relationship first.

I recently threw off caffeine. If I would've recognized it as a drug, I would've thrown it off before I was tainted by it. :[

I drink coffee so am I still SxE ? 'cause nobody get the same point of view about it :s

**xsecx** · 07-06-2009, 08:15 AM

no recreational drugs.

sex has nothing to do with straight edge.

Ok so for you, it's the first one ?

For myself I think SxE is No alcohol, No drugs, No tobacco , and after the question of sex is like this one about "being vegan" it's something you add

yes, but I've never understood the whole adding things on. There's a lot of things that I believe and follow that have nothing to do with me being straight edge.

**xVinceWHCx** · 07-06-2009, 08:45 AM

Yeah I understand but when I say "add" I mean it's something else that you add to all your believe, for example I don't agree with people who say : " Be SxE is being vegan" or things like that , you're first SxE and after you're vegan, that the same for here first you're SxE and after you can be a BWSR or a GSWR

But like the name "Straight Edge" the sexual part "No sex without love" is taken from a song of Minor Threat (poor Ian by the way we put on his back all things that he won't want (I'm not sure my english was good here XD) as the Straight Edge way of life and this thing about sex)

yeah but adding things on and associating them with straight edge is where that mentality comes from. What is a BWSR or a GSWR?

Yeah, out of step said a lot of things though. It also said that he thought playing golf was dumb too and that it wasn't a set of rules. That single song and maybe a handful of others throughout the last 28 years mention sex in any kind of context but it's just not reflected in the culture as a whole.

I'm not trying to assert that any part of sex is incorporated into sXe, I'm just trying to say that my views on sex go hand-in-hand with me being straight-edge.

how can they go hand in hand when the one has nothing to do with the other? What other views go hand in hand with it then?

BWSR : Boys With Self Respect and GSWR : Girls With Self Respect ;)

Btw, I think having sex is something we do (and must do, for myself) with someone who love and who love us, not something we do for do something in our day because we had a boring day ...
