Nobody likes to talk about how painful it is for so many people when they have sex with a person who ghosts or blocks them . I always remember back to when I was in high school a friend of mines came into the bathroom crying hysterically and hyperventilating. I could see that she was extremely distressed. She told me that this guy she liked promised to be in a relationship with her after she gave him her virginity , but instead he started ignoring her immediately after they had sex . It was so sad . That’s when I realized that we shouldn’t be giving ourselves away to men who are not totally committed to us.

Modesty is a concept born from the shame forced into the minds by religion. Modesty is a concept of being judged by those who've fallen in with a sinister religious sect that would otherwise shame people into living the way the church feels they should live instead of how the individual WANTS to live. Live and let live without judgment. That's something religious people have a problem with.

@thatboy301 Articles say the average vagina is about 3-4 inches deep or 3.5 inches deep unaroused. Aroused it can get up from 4.25in - 4.75in. The clitoris is part of the vulva (external genitalia) and inside the pelvic cavity. It is innervated with many nerve endings. According to Cleveland Clinic,” It’s sole purpose is to enable you to experience sexual pleasure.” Not to mention, from the same article above, the vagina’s g-spot is located a few inches deep and near the front wall of the vagina. Cleveland Clinic states that the g spot may line up with the vestibular bulbs of the clitoris (they engorge with blood during during sexual stimulation) which may make it feel pleasurable. All in all, females can feel pleasure from the inside and out. As long as there is good communication, I’m sure a male with a 5in penis would be able to satisfy their partner.

My lovely wife of many decades and I have been happily and playfully married for longer than most people have been living. We both went to the marriage altar as virgins (1st time everything for both of us). We still visit during meals, flirt at home, and hold hands in public. Our adult children are also in happy lives and visit us often, usually by telephone. The problems that came into our lives were always followed by solutions. I'm thankful I am not bothered by memories of another woman's body. We're both thankful that we never engaged in the human life creation act BEFORE we entered the bonded, covenant union of marriage. Our brains had migrated above our belts as we entered puberty. Have never looked back. Life is good.

Sex before marriage blinds your eyes from reality. You literally blind yourself from the red flags that are obvious and think things would change. Dating gives you the prerequisite to determine/vet if the person you're seeing is the one for you. Sometimes two people may think they're in love and marriage is in the cards for them but it's not necessarily so. Just because you feel attached, love and care about a person means they're the one for you.

You don't have to be a Christian to have your common sense and intuition 100% involved in your decision making skills. It's about having personal boundaries and respecting and loving your body as a temple. Especially as a woman in these chaotic times. I've always felt it's ONLY appropriate to have sexual intimacy if you are both in love with each other, AND you want a future with them (ex: You both want to marry each other and are planning an engagement soon). Desiring to have some intimacy is normal, but it doesn't have to be sexual in nature. Hugs and kisses and sharing your past with someone is a very special intimacy that builds a solid foundation for trusting someone. A loving relationship (and friendship) usually grows out of that. Your attraction to that person AS A PERSON grows and your love builds for them. No shade on Christians but in all honesty, this answer here is definitely not just about whether or not your are following the Bible.
@MsMusicalBeans Жыл бұрын

@@MsMusicalBeans I never said our culture didn't have anything to do with this. I agree with that, BUT that doesn't mean it alters your innate common sense and intuition as a woman. Women, every single one of us, has been born with intuition. Men lack this and this is a key difference between males and females. Intuition is a woman's best line of defense. You have a choice to pay attention to it or ignore it. You didn't understand my comment at all, obviously. Love and compassion ARE your self respect for your body, and mind and well-being; your intuition is what helps you maintain it, as well as keeping your personal integrity. A Bible isn't going to give you that.

Your "intuition" and "self respect" and "common sense" among other traits, values and morals that you describe did not plant themselves in you from nothing.

So much truth in this video. I’m 32 and have been married for 10 years. We waited to sleep together until marriage and it was more acceptable 10 years ago but people still made us feel weird. Getting married was truly so special- we built a relationship that was so genuine and out of love, intrigue and respect for one another. It’s so important to develop that secure and emotional aspect of love before attempting to express it physically and so intimately. I found god through dating my husband… I did a lot of research outside of reading the Bible because I hate the idea of believing something to make me feel better… and my husband never pressured me to become a Christian… ultimately, evidence showed me it would take more faith to be an atheist than a Christian and my relationship with Christ started there when I said I’m going to trust this and follow this and work to know Christ. I am so happy for you on this journey. There are points you feel so lit up from your faith and others where you feel less so- just n ow that’s normal. You’re so young and it’s a long game.

Please don’t advocate living together before marriage 6:55 🤦🏻♀️ the whole point of the video is why sex before marriage is bad. Anyone even a Christian “claiming” they’re not having sex living together before marriage is a liar. And plus it makes no sense to live together and you’re not even considering to marry? To question about marriage? So playing house together, combing finances, investing in shared furniture isn’t a way of some emotional attachment? Why allow a lifestyle to live with men you’re not married to? Studies behind men who don’t marry or rates behind divorces are actually due to living together before marriage. Why? Because there’s no mystery to you as a boyfriend who lives with his girlfriend for more than a year.. heck even at 5 years. He strings her along until she takes the hint. Believe it or not ladies, men know if they want to marry you after dating for 2-2.5 years. If you’re still his girlfriend at 5 years in your 20’s-30’s. You’re a placeholder. That’s why men immediately marry the next girl after wasting half to a full decade with you. You’re not it. You gave him free house keeping service. Have some dignity and don’t live with boyfriends. If he’s proposed to you, and is actively working on booking a wedding date etc, then consider to move in together. Don’t move in engaged to be engaged. You’re wasting your time.

I respect everything you have to say, and I'd like to point out that I don't think it's so much about sex before marriage, but sex before a developed relationship has happened. Marriage wasn't even about romance until recently. It is a culture concept that has evolved over the years, and there are plenty of people who can have just as fulfilling relationships without marriage as those who do. I think it's important to point out because some people can have the false notion that just because you are married, you are close and can't get tied up in that sex blinded thing, which isn't true! The integrity and substance of the relationship are what matters. That's why my opinion is that if you are interested in someone for more than sex, wait till you've developed a significant relationship before having it. I also think in regards to hookup culture, you can still hook up, and it is only sex focused but respects someone's safety. I think that's just basic human respect and doesn't have to be any more than that.

People who have sex before marriage casually don't have the Holy Spirit in them meaning they'll never be able to love you like you should be loved. You'll be an idol, something to feel the void in their heart from their absent relationship with Christ. This is a Christians women's perspective so you won't completely understand.

I have never really agreed with this but you do have many interesting points. I think it is totally true that sex and affection get sometimes confused with a true connection and it makes things confusing. The feeling of being used physically is horrible. The problem I have with how a lot of "religious" people go about it is that they shame women that decide to have sex or experiment and that annoys the shit out of me. I think people should be very conscious of it and decide whatever they want and even change their mind if they feel like it but to make it a "rule" and be so unflexible is what bothers me and also what I think steers people away from this mentality. Also, as someone that married a guy that I loved for his personality and not sex or physical attraction that much. I now realize how important that is as well. And if you wait until marriage to know this and turns out sex sucks, it's really hard. Anyway, I think you always have the best insights and do it in a way that is relatable, specially about topics that are controversial. I love it lol

The bible is hard to follow because it goes against our flesh! The desires that we naturally have, that honestly won’t benefit us in the future. If you really read the Bible, you’ll understand that everything God is asking us to do at the end is just to protect our heart from getting hurt. Coming from a person that didn’t save herself for marriage, I can definitely see why it’s better to.Even not from a Christian perspective, you’ll know where your relationship stands, and it won’t be based off sex. A lot of people say “ don’t you want to test drive the car before you buy it?” To that I say,if your relationship is based off how good your sex is,it won’t last. Life is full of ups and downs, and you need more than sex to keep a relationship going. Also, to the people that say what if you don’t have great sex, you have your whole marriage to work at it.

One of the advantages of a woman staying a virgin and marrying a man who also hasn't known anyone before, is that the wonder and the bond of that first time experience is heightened not only because by design a sense of care is engendered in the man because he is infinitely aware that he is responsible for what is happening to the young maiden. So his first sexual experience is not just about pure pleasure, but the pleasure that exists is associated with a sense of care, and the exclusivity of the whole experience embeds the memory deep into the recesses of his soul, such that he should thereafter associate the experience of sex with a sense of care as well as that of an exclusive privilege marked by the deepest of passion and value which cannot be rivalled.

We broke up a few years ago and I haven’t had sex since and like you decided I wasn’t going to. The last few months I was unsure if I should continue watching your content because a lot of it was surrounding sex/ your dating life. But I love watching you so much I didn’t stop ❤ I’m so happy that you have decided to also follow Jesus and pursue that in your life.

You are so on point with this, you can get caught in nasty toxic relationship cycles through sex clouding your judgement. It can be like slapping a bandaid on something because even when things are going wrong, you feel “bonded” and temporarily better. The “better” feeling doesn’t last long, it fades and the cycle continues. My partner and I figured this out a year and a half ago, and have been both working on it, it’s hard but really helpful in every way. We both have things we need to work on. I was surprised to know that men can feel like this too, they also get caught in the rollercoaster feeling. I’m so glad you’re talking about this, because it’s not very common for the young generation, and it’s hard for both parties to be self aware enough to realize it’s the issue and do something about it. I’m glad we had the epiphany🙏

As someone who has experienced a lot of religious trauma, even though I respect your perspective, I can't say that I agree with it, as my experience was quite different. It took me years to undo all the damage the programing I had received in church did to me, and to be able to finally allow myself to explore sexuality and intimacy. After being terrified of sex for so long, and believing that a man would only want me if I was untouched, losing my virginity and realizing I didn't feel used, dirty or ashamed was incredibly empowering for me! It played an essential part in helping me find that my worth was not tied to how obedient, modest, pious, or chaste I was, leaving the church was the best thing I did for my mental health. I'm happy you found something that works for you, and I'm also glad that you seem determined to research and study and not just fall into a faith without due diligence. You have always been one of my favorite KZbinrs and it brings me so much joy to see you growing and finding happiness, I hope this new lifestyle brings you the type of relationship you're looking for, but I also hope you keep in mind other perspectives and experiences as you go forward! 🥰

If a man and woman want to live without participating in that sin that it isn’t just the woman’s responsibility. As they say “takes two to tango”. But a lot of times women don’t have that option as their virginity was taken without consent. So there’s that too. I’d never want a girl to feel less because of that either. Which can be an issue in purity culture.

Hey, having a hookup buddy doesn't mean that he shouldn't respect you as a human being. Ok, maybe you're not in a relationship; that doesn't mean that he should treat you badly or not even be concerned for your safety in a dangerous neighborhood. That speaks a lot about a person, it doesn't equal to the fact that being friends with benefits automatically implies dehumanizing someone (and I speak from the point of view of not being 100% in favor of the idea of having a friends with benefits, at least not more than once). I'm saying this because we tend to asume that having sex with someone without being in a relationship justifies them treating us with direspect, and it DOESN'T. If you want to have a friend with benefits, please notice their behavior, notice if they seem like a decent human being who will treat you as an equal, if not, it's their problem, not yours. They don't have a right to treat you badly for something you're both consenting to do.

I agree that sex before marriage is not best if you are dating to seek marriage at anytime in the future. Interestingly, I did not have sex until marriage with my husband but found out after marriage (and then sex) that he doesn’t like sex (which is a huge problem for me) and now I have often wondered if we should of had sex before marriage so that I could have foreseen this issue. BUT, we both had sexual encounters many years ago (before meeting each other) and I believe that has changed his perspective of sex; both of our sexual experiences apart from each other were not ideal by any means.

Personally I’ve never related to this concept but it’s only because I’ve never felt like I’ve been attached to anyone due to sex. I’ve just never been that type of person. I’ve had my phases where I’m with a guy just for fun & I genuinely feel nothing for them & have easily left. For me, bonds come from how I feel about the person emotionally regardless if I feel the sex is great or not. When I am in a relationship where I genuinely care about the person, sex is honestly the last thing on my mind. Then again I feel that birth control has lowered my libido a lot so I’m sure that comes into play with how I feel about the topic. With that being said, I feel like I’m the minority in this so I understand where you are coming from.

Sex is important, but its not everything. If you treat it like its everything, you will get hurt. Sleeping with different people, sometimes some of those people dont have your best interest and just want the pleasure to gratify themselves. Its a lot of toxicity to your mental health and heart. There are a lot of things we like to indulge in because it feels good, but it doesnt mean its always good. I love my partner but I dont base my relationship on sex. You both have to feel ready and be at the same level while also having that mutual attraction. I am glad you are noticing this unhealthy trend nowadays of people having sex with whoever and whatever, not being a good thing. Theres a reason why STD’s and unwanted pregnancies occur. Sex is not a game. Its God’s way of saying take it seriously, protect your heart, guard your heart, have discernment and patience.

While, yes, there will always be predators in every instance, I believe that we attract what we are. I have no doubt that she will attract the right man, not the purity chaser. I've seen her develop. She's no fool. But I get your concern.

Yes, I noticed you deleted many videos. I was looking for the one in which you explained how you dealt with the grief of ending a long term relationship sitting casually in your kitchen in orange tshirt. That one was my favourite. I used to watch it whenever I felt weak for ending my toxic relationship.

Hey Alana, This is my first time commenting on one of your videos. More women need to have this mindset when it comes to valuing themselves and dating... date to marry! I'm a Christian and I waited until marriage to be intimate. Waiting for my husband was THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE! For any girl reading this, trust me... you will not regret it. It is so freeing and peaceful to know the man who has your body also has your heart & that you both have promised forever to each other as best friends and as lovers 🤍🤍 Your future husband will be so thankful and blessed 🙌🏼

Im almost 30 and have refused to have sex again until I get married. And if that doesnt happen Im ok with it too. Ive done so many things in life that I thought were good for me and then realized I had made huge mistakes. Now Im just greatful for everything Gd gives me and my hopes and dreams are in his hands. As long as you have Jesus in your life you will be good no matter what💖

@thatboy301 there’s toys and other ways to go around that. Also with her ex, 7 inches or whatever he had didn’t keep her around. A big one doesn’t make up for being a selfish lover in bed or a man with poor character. Between character and genitalia, character is the only thing that can hold a woman/man long term.

I think what matters is being conscious about what you do with your body. And learning your own weaknesses to protect yourself from being used. Not only sex can distort your reality, being in love also negatively affects your ability to think rationally.

@@thatboy3015 😝 my point was actually that the no sex approach isn't the only way to protect yourself. And also that you can never fully protect yourself from being used and hurt
