You Can't Win! The Truth About Compromising Positions

One of my favorite skits on "All That" (which was Nickelodeon's version of "Saturday Night Live") was "You Can't Win."  It was a game show which was deliberately rigged so that the contestants would lose.  The very first time the skit aired, the host refused to even explain the rules.

"It doesn't matter!" he yelled, with a huge smile on his face, "Because you can't win!"

That statement sums up the truth about compromising positions.  If we wind up alone with a smoking hot babe or totally ripped stud, then we are in a scenario which has been rigged by the culture, the demonic kingdom, the babe/stud, (and if we're honest, our own lust), so that we lose.  The whole reason why this is called a compromising position is because it is designed to make us compromise our integrity and throw our future marriage under the bus.

In other words, WE CAN'T WIN!!!

Even if you "win" by taking a stand for righteousness and refusing the lewd advances of your date, you may still end up losing.

For instance, if you're a guy and you wind up in a compromising position, then "losing" means that you wind up with Baby Momma drama, an incurable disease that goes biological MMA on your man-parts, or your son or daughter getting dismembered in an abortion clinic.  "Winning" means that the nympho that tried to jump your bones gets insulted that you rejected her and tells the police (or worse, her dad and brothers), that you tried to rape her.  That means jail, running away from gun-toting relatives, and a reputation that is permanently damaged, even after you are found innocent.

If you're a girl and you wind up in a compromising position, then losing means that you get knocked up and abandoned, an incurable disease that lays the smackdown on your lady-parts, or having to choose between letting your life goals fly away like birds on steroids or letting some quack doctor tear apart your son or daughter in an abortion clinic (and possibly destroy your uterus in the process).  "Winning" means that your psycho date decides not to take "no" for an answer and rapes you.  That means months in court trying to get justice, a lifetime of therapy, and a body, mind, heart, and soul that will never quite work properly again.

If you were invited to play a game in which winning means going to jail and losing means death (or, if you're a lady, winning means getting raped and losing means getting knocked up and abandoned), would you play?  Absolutely not!  Well, if you allow yourself to wind up in a compromising position, that's the game you're playing.  Don't play a game that you can't win.  Avoid compromising positions and protect your future marriage, your reputation, and your life!
