Catholic guilt.
Posted by an anonymous user on 6/11/2008 11:01:00 AM
I've been in two long relationships... one lasting over four years and the one I'm in right now. I have never had sex simply because of the guilt that I'll feel due to being raised Catholic. If I didn't have a religious upbringing, I would have no qualms about having sex. Personally, I don't believe in saving sex until marriage (objectification of sex, etc.), but I don't want to let anyone down.
The man I'm with is the man I know I will marry.
I am an adult. An adult who craves sex.
But I am terrified of what my parents will think (even if they wouldn't find out), and the guilt of looking them in the eye at dinner one night, knowing that I've done the one thing that they thought I would never do.

hey, my best friend is a total christian, and she believes that she doesnt want to have sex before marriage.
heres the problem, they have been dating for over two years. he wants sex..and she'll never give it to him..
thats fine but...he still loves her, but the other day, he said he doesnt feel the same way and he needs more than she can give him. he states that when they get married they'll have sex, but he needs it from her before that. i know that if she doesnt do it, then he'll just go get it somewhere else. poor guy, if you love him, you might want to make him happy. sex is a natural thing, your parents will get over the fact that you made love to the man you love.
