I’ve never been a sexual person, never got head, don’t do hugs , didn’t have a kiss until sophomore year of college , had sex with that same guy less than a month later(forcefully) hated all of it, and now I don’t even talk to guys to get to know them for a rls or be around any alone. And I completely agree with you, realistically what someone chooses to do with their body is none of our business. It’s a lot of reasons on both sides that’s again NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!
i’m waiting for marriage for actual sex (other stuff till love, just making out before that) for personal and religious reasons (my religious reasons being that i think it’s God’s plan for ME, not that it’s a sin otherwise, if that makes sense). the amount of ppl that have told me “that’s wild. i’d never buy a car without test driving it first” or telling me how no man will want to stay with me just makes me feel ashamed. like wym you’re trying to pressure women into having sex before they’re +
She meant as in when I’m married and with a partner I trust he will be happy to be with me in that moment and not care about me being inexperienced, wanting more boundaries or requests. Also she’s been my therapist for years and I like her because she’s more down to earth. The more “clinical” ones I’ve seasoned w when she needed a sub just felt like I was at a doctors appointment
Guys i promise my therapist is fine. This is literally one situation w very limited context bc obv therapy sessions are extremely personal. I clarified what she meant. I know what she meant and the meaning behind it. Trust me it’s not a “all men” generalizing statement. If she had beliefs like that then they def would have been clear and expressed w certain conversations and I def wouldn’t be continuing sessions w her. This is my therapist that I have had for years, and not yours.
Again, I said I won’t disagree that it’s bad in and of itself. Where I disagreed is the comparison. It is absolutely not as bad to bully someone for being a virgin when women are and have been killed over even the slightest accusation of having sex outside marriage. Two things can be true, but not equally grave.
I mean I feel like ur comment doesn’t have a point. Bc op said “why are you assuming people who don’t have sex are enforcing purity culture.” And for u to tie it to purity culture kinda proves op’s point. Also women wanting to keep their purity have also been raped and killed for not wanting to put out. Violence from men is a horrible blanket that covers every culture of women. The same way men have persecuted women for not conforming to purity culture.
Kinda off and on topic but I think the virginity argument is because humans are jealous creatures and men especially can be possessive. I’ve always thought it’s weird a man can’t see that I don’t have sex because all he sees are my past boyfriends, therefore he is jealous of the thought and potential I could’ve had sex with them, even though I am a virgin and state it clearly I am and plan to stay that way as a personal preference. This has happened so many times it’s sad but makes me laugh now.
