Usually those shaming others are jealous they can’t get it themselves for whatever reason, and they take their sexual frustration out on others

Religion is on the rise among young men, including myself. A big part of that is having self-control. It’s important to really get to know a woman before you marry her beyond just the physical, otherwise it won’t work long term. Marrying for lust is a terrible decision, and abstinence helps prevent that possibility.

It’s not “purity culture” we just aren’t fornicating.

It’s not lol. The men who can get laid are pretending and copying women (in order to get laid). The ones who can’t get laid are just sour grapes, and that’s nothing new at all (though there might be more in that category now that relationships are less and less accessible on the other end)

I’m Catholic so that’s why I value purity. There’s also the fact that promiscuity is generally a bad decision all around and I want a society that values good decisions. Hedonism feels good, but it isn’t actually good for anybody.

I went to his account and neither him or his gf seem to be Christian. It's just everyone in the comments telling him to "control his lust" or like making weird "why not bible study, cuddles and food?" or "lust and gluttony" and im so confused on why they r making this bold ass assumption

if you're actually abstaining from sex with he gf then yeah that would be purity culture? and besides just bc you might be abstaining doesn't mean everyone else does. it was really weird why so many people mostly men were comment on that innocent post

so actually there r many studies that prove that having a consistent sex life is key to a healthy relationship, and you can still practice safe sex. you shouldn't suppress your sexual urges bc that could lead to more harm than good.

It’s key to a healthy marriage, but not to a healthy relationship where you can still break up. If you want to have sex so badly, just get married faster.

No bigger SA charges than those that come out of the Catholic Church, paid out over 5 billion in settlements and that’s just the US. Certainly don’t practice what they preach

Rates of abuse are higher among rabbis and imams, also drastically higher among public school teachers. This is FAR from unique to the Catholic Church.

Where did the Church condone SA? Pretty sure it’s a mortal sin and doing it results in you going to hell.

if the the church i was attending had multiple accounts of their members committing SA, and i was aware of it and continue to go i would assume that is something that doesn't bother the individual since they are still supporting the church.

“not everything is about sex” but if the sex is bad then what? i waited like a “good and self-respecting catholic” person would do and it was fucking awful. we tried and tried and it was awful. sexual compatibility is still important. i would never wait for sex again. just something for y’all to keep in mind because just because you wait doesn’t mean the sex is gonna be good.

sex is just how you make children but thats not what it's about, a women doesn't even have to orgasm in order to get pregnant. which wouldn't make it enjoyable, and wanting to enjoy sex with the person you love is for the sake of just making love is fine.

sex is for BOTH love and making children. women wouldn’t have a clitoris if it were only for reproduction, its sole purpose is pleasure. that’s why sexual compatibility is important for me, if it’s not for you then okay and good luck.
