    It is weird being a guy who got the typical "girls" treatment on abstinence. Like I wasn't allowed to go to school dances because my dad thought the only reason anyone would go is to find someone to hook up with. My brother got in trouble for basically having a girlfriend - it wasn't the having but he was never allowed to actually go see her.
    The twisted ironic part is being socially stunted because I was discouraged from dating in my teens but as soon as I was in my twenties I was expected to start having grandkids. When, in my late twenties, my dad started getting pushy about it I said "you have three boys who have trouble with relationships, I blame the parents." He did not like that - but he stopped asking.

    • @NikkiBudders

      This 100%. The fact that on what feels like a dime they'll turn around on you like "you're an adult now, not that I've ever treated you like one, go find a man sent by god and make me grandkids". Suddenly sex for procreation is an open and encouraged topic, they'll give you every remedy and trick in the book, and the entire time any complaints of pain are just met with "it will get better over time" as if the vaginismus wasn't specifically caused by religious trauma. Ahhhh.

      This is the reality of building a sex ed program based entirely on the preachings of a group of hysterical, religiously repressed virgins & neo-Puritan conservatives
      ...instead of a panel of child psychologists, gynecologists & other credentialed health professionals working off a body of scientific, documented research on human sexuality & child development.
      One group builds a sex ed program based on reality. The other group ... not so much.

      Yuup feel that. I wasn't allowed to even think about being in a relationship until I was about 19. Was barely allowed to have friends of the opposite sex. Then suddenly my mom was on me about grand kids and genuinely mad at me for not dating immediately. I guess she wanted me to do what my super religious roommates did in college and get engaged to someone I'd known for 3 months. Haha nope.

    Sex in Christian circles is less about sexuality and more about control of the individual. Especially women. Its a pernicious form of abuse that attacks at a very deep level of the psyche, and its constant because we are sexual beings, we have sex, we feel sexual desire constantly so its a constant shame, repression, self-fighting and perpetuation of abuse through belief. Very violent form of abuse.

      It also effects us sex repulsed asexuals. We're taught that when we reach adolescence we're all going to be struggling with "sexual sin" when that doesn't happen for you you start to think something must be wrong you. And then there's the fact that you're SUPPOSED to have sex when you're married and your husband will be expecting it. Which is even more horrifying.

    Abstinence only "education" is leading to abortions by not preparing their children for the reality of sex, leading to unwanted pregnancies. Shaming single mothers is doing the rest.
    Comprehensive sex education and easy access to birth control results in a drop in abortions. So if abortion is actually your number one priority you have to support both.

    Just FYI Emma, there was a lot of this purity culture stuff going around for men at the same time - “Every Man’s Battle” by Stephen Arterburn was published at the exact same time as Shannon’s “Every Woman’s Battle” (Aug 2009). I went through some of those small group books studies, all emphasizing abstinence, saving yourself for your wife, “bouncing your eyes” (looking quickly away from marginally sexual images or displays). Really leaned heavily into the “all viewing of any kind of porn (including erotica) = addiction” angle. It was definitely aimed at both men and women.

    "all that and a bag of chips" was a popular expression in the mid nineties USA. also, "Homey don't play that" is a reference to Homey D Clown, a Damon Wayans character from the comedy skit show, "In Living Color" from the same time period. Homey D Clown was hilarious, as very early Tim Carrey's character, Fire Marshall Bill.

It was specifically because of teachings like this that ruined that relationship and caused trauma for years after it ended.

      I'm sorry, but the data really doesn't support that claim whatsoever. Women who marry as virgins only have a 6% chance of getting divorced later down the line, compared to a 20% chance with women with one prior sexual partner, going up to 35% with women who have had 10+ partners. Say what you will about these specific teachings by this woman, but I'll assure you that teaching abstinence before marriage is demonstrably the best way to go. I'd wager that the main problem wasn't abstinence alone, but your friend may have been pressured by society to "settle down" at a later age. People aren't expected to get married from 19-21 years old anymore, we're encouraged to wait longer for who knows what reason. I could be wrong but that's just my thought

But to address your point, the study I was referencing was from the Institute for Family Studies, and is widely accepted. And yes, I do think it’s absurd to expect people to get married at 19-21, not because it’s impossible, because it clearly was possible back in the day, but our society has put so much of an emphasis on waiting to start a family, making it difficult for high school grads to get off the ground and make a living wage like they could back in the day, encouraging people to prioritize the corporate life over family, and telling people not to settle down and have the “enjoy life while you still can” type of mentality.

    I'm not sure that she does actually care that much. Having spent a long time in Christian circles, there is a huge amount of power and self-justification that can be gleaned by being someone who tells people what to do. Christianity has been full of these mini-dictatorships right from the start. You even find them in the bible. Plus, she's obviously making a mint out of this.
    Becoming one of these little demigods is considered a perfectly legitimate career direction in many places. I was in South Carolina in the late 2000s and, as we were driving along the road, I noticed a pile of at least ten long, white pointy things lying by the roadside. I finally worked out what they were, because we'd seen a fair few in use on our visit. They were mass-produced steeples for putting on churches. Think about it; in that part of America half the population seems to want to start off their own church and get reaping in the tithes from the other half - to the extent that mass-production of church steeples is lucrative enough to become a business in itself. In America at least, greed is considered a virtue rather than a sin.

      @@Antony-bp2yhI'm going to ignore the implication that only heterosexual, married sex is "normal" because I just got off a 16-hr shift and I don't have the energy for that level of bigotry right now.
      But to address the larger point, biology may or may not reassert itself eventually, but it is not at all uncommon for Christians to experience sexual dysfunction due to the conditioning they've received.
      The trauma of an entire lifetime being told that sex is wrong and dangerous does not magically abate because you exchange vows.

      Where you getting this from anyhoo Antony. Leviticus perchance? So I'll assume you've never clipped the edge of your beard, worked the Sabbath or worn clothing made with two woven materials? Eaten pork? Eaten fat instead of offering it to God in the proper ritual way?
      It's all "new covenant!" until Leviticus 18:22 and then u all get all literalist about it lmao smh.
