^ okay... i'm gonna put my two cents in...
you're only straight edge if you are the one who decides to be straight-edge and labeles yourself that...
and yes, being sXe is a life decision and it does mean life long abstinence... well to most people, but that is what it's supposed to be.
it's not just drink, smoking, and drugs, too. For a lot of people that include pre-marital (or "Love") sex and much most... basically anything that altars the natural state of your body. Some people who are really into being sXe and go all out with it don't drink caffine, or use pain killers or anything, just because all of those kinds of things altar the natural state of your body.
okay. i'm done.
