I did not. I considered myself a Catholic at the time and I knew the Church's position on sex and sex outside of marriage (which I personally think is an outdated position), but it didn't change my mind. I was with my partner who I love, and still do, and he's (I also know the stance on homosexuality, which I also think is outdated) the person I plan on spending the rest of my life with so why feel guilty?

Did you feel any guilt when you lost your virginity if you lost it outside of engagement/ marriage?

If so, how did you deal with the guilt?

Understand it's a touchy subject, but am curious how you may have dealt with the guilt and loss of innocence.....

I didnt loose my virginity when i was a Christian, but before I came to Christ . When i came to Christ, I realized just how valueable and important it is to not loose your viginity since its THE most greatest gift you could ever give another person and it includes not just your sex organs but your entire Soul as well. For this reason, I wish i had not lost it to meaningless situations prior . But like anything else, God does forgive you for this mistake and gives you a second chance at getting your celibacy right .... and its THAT which im claiming today to the respect and honor of God as well as to myself.

Good post, Dave.

'twas my situation as well.
Grew-up in a nominal Christian home, but didn't really know much about it.

Funny how even when I wasn't a believer when I lost mine in HS, felt tremendous guilt and know she did too. She was Catholic.

I probably pressured her, but she made a critical mistake of telling me
"...I never tried anything...."
So starting "trying" things... One thing leads to another, next thing you know, you're wanting to have sex.

Not a good thing for a Christian woman to tell a red-blooded 17 y.o.......

Okay, where in the Bible is the evidence for virginity being "the most precious gift" or that it's "giving your entire soul" or whatever? Is that actually in there somewhere or is it just one of those things that gets repeated a lot so it must be true?

Well, not to say that waiting until marriage isn't a good idea or that it doesn't have any merit, but the focus on virginity was, IMHO, more of a cultural issue than a truly timeless one.

Consider that marriages back in the day were more social contracts between families than actual romantic commitments, that "adultery" and "adulterate" are cognate words for a reason, and that dowries were a common tradition back in the day, it made sense in a way: no man is going to pay full price for used goods.

It's very impressive how degenerate Christians became due to the degenerate forces of modernity. Honestely, what are most people doing here? You mostly don't share Christian values, you deep inside don't believe in the values of Christianity. I joined this site today, thinking that i would find like-minded people, but it seems that the decay of Christianity and even Western Society is in a level that can't be reversed.

If one go to a Christian forum and find people like this, what can one expect about the other people in general?

Ohmygoodness you are just so precious.

FYI, the society boards are open to people of all faiths (or lack thereof) so there are a lot of different views represented here. If you want to find people who think exactly like you, they are probably all hanging out in one of the christian-only boards above us, where the existence of opposing views is comfortably hidden away.

Not sure who you're addressing, but you need to realize Christians aren't inherently different than others.

Christians engage in premarital sex, have abortions, drink to intoxication, lie, commit adultery, etc.
None of those things are good and I wouldn't recommend others do them.

What's the saying, a church isn't a museum for saints, but a hospital for sinners.

A married female friend of wife and me recently told our group about a female single Christian acquaintance who had an abortion.
This single woman attends one of the "mega churches."

Our friend told us she tried to persuade her against killing her unborn child.

Believe me, it wasn't anything any of us were happy about.
I said, "Wow... this isn't only discussion about that issue... this is real life!"

I don't know that woman but recently met her, but didn't talk with her.
Let's just say judging by her clothing and appearance, she doesn't seem to have her life together.

I'd suggest thinking about things this poster said in relation to Christian behavior:
Why does God want me single / celibate?

Prepare to wince, but some of them might smoke, cuss, or, ohmygosh, have kids outside of marriage.

These things do not make them less Godly.
It means that their sanctification is still rocking, just like everyone else. God deals with our messes individually and at His pace.

I've learned that where you see compassion, forgiveness, kindness, approachability, and an overall lack of judging other people, you've got yourself a Godly person.
When I was in my early 20s in college and a new Christian, I wanted to date and marry a
"...godly, Christian virgin woman...."
Of course, I gave-up that "requirement" (it was more of a preference) as I got older and realized a woman can be the first two without being the third.

Your question also reminds me of a thread in TheMarriageBed.com, a Christian marital sex site.
The thread was a poll on when people first had sex with their spouses.
Nearly 50% responded before the wedding.

A poster, a single non-virgin, expressed amazement.
One of the mods asked why it was so hard to believe? Christians are just like everyone else and subject to temptations and the pressures of this world.

The site is in a members-area only, but the thread is here

WHen you have sex, you are not JUST doing a physical thing ; you are JOINING your Soul with another and because sexual intercourse is designed for a permanent marital relationship , you BOND with the person youre doing it with --- the exact opposite of what casual sex participants want . God used the term 'One Union' to describe the sexual relationship in marriage because it blends two peoples Souls . Your Soul is THE most intimate , personal, important part of your Being and it was never designed to be spread around like it was a handshake. Pay attention to whenever you had sex with someone outside of marriage then one or both people went their own way...there was alot of hurt left behind because it is a ripping apart of the bond created thru sex.

Its a shame our apathetic culture doesnt want to tell us whats REALLY behind casual hookup sex.

Weigh up the FACTS (apart from God and The Bible) and ask yourself if casual sex outside of marriage, is a good idea / worth it :

Why is it "wrong" to want casual sex? ------

1. 39 STD's among over 65,000,000 adult Americans with 15,000,000 new cases each year . 1 in 6 Middle Schoolers have an STD . 2 STD's are fatal, some
cause sterility for life, a popular one is the precursor to cervical
cancer in women (HPV) , many are permanent for life, many cannot be
prevented with a condom.
2. Risk of pregnancy even with condoms or birth control pill.
3. Aborting the developing human being in the womb is murder because
its personhood was established at conception according to 80 of the
worlds top Medical Doctors and Scientists who met with the U.S.
Congree in the 1980's.
4. The act of sex is THE most intimate thing a person can share with
another and it cements the 2 people together . When it is casual, it
is superficial because one or both participants do not want the
relationship to be cemented ; it is only for temporary fun .
5. When the friendship parts ways, emotional hurt and damage takes
place which usually makes the person hurt untrusting in the future and/
or suffer from abandonment in their Mind.
6. It causes men and women to look at the opposite sex in an unhealthy
manner ; each sees the other being self centered to just get ones
needs met. , then basically disposed of.
7. The sexual union was meant for more than just a mere copulation
(the using of another for sexual gratification). It was designed for
maximum commitment that allows both people to grow together and bond
together for a lifetime.
8. Men look down on women in general when they are easy to have sex
with because they have little or no self respect.
9. It causes worship of the Human Body to the point it becomes an
idol.
10. It cause many boys/men (especially) to brag to their peers about
thier conquest , which is wrong.
11. It blinds both people to each others real identity , faults,
issues, etc... to where they cannot think objectively about them. This
causes many couples to eventually get married with all kinds of
problems going into the marriage with.
12. It easily becomes and addiction like a drug.
13 . It causes jealously and often rage, when a person has multiple
sex partners at the same time .
14. It breaks up relationships, marriages, families , when people
stray from them to have casual sex.
15. Revenge often occurs if a b/f or husband finds out who you are for
messing with their g/f or wife.....or vice versa. Many have lost their
lives from being in a triangle .
16 . It is a bad example to young people and they often get into
casual sex at a very early stage and can get shattered emotionally.
17. It often springboards into other sexual behaviour such as inappropriate content
addiction .
18 . It often allows for single parent mothering which is a difficult
task and life.
19. The male doesnt feel obligated or responsible if a birth occurs .,
and is unlikely to help the Mother thru the pregnancy and/or
financially support his child.
20. Many single parent Mothers go on welfare which puts a burden on
the Country's tax payers and Government.
21 . It breeds a selfish , hedonistic, and narcissitic attitude and
life especially for the male.
22 . It cheapens the view of all women/girls and causes the male to
view them as being only good for one thing.
23. It brings shame to Parents IF they taught their children right
from wrong when growing up.
24. It shows Parents that what they taught their kids growing up ,
wasnt taken seriously and is unimportant. It demeans the values their
Parents had and wanted for their children.
25. It shows a lack of self control by not waiting till marriage and
making the wedding night special like its supposed to be.
26. If the couple end up getting married, statistics show their
marriage is less likely to make it then they have to go thru the gut
wrenching time of divorce which may include children who feel the
burden.
27. It will increase the number of STD's in circulation the more
casual sex is done with others. Same for the emotional consequences.
28. If makes a person feel they are entitled to use another for an
[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] , when they are not entitled at all.
29 . We all know, inherently, that it is wrong to have sex outside of
marriage but we will decieve ourselves willfully so we can do whatever
we want .
30. It is a sign of immaturity because one cannot control oneself.
31 . It increases our sex saturated society which is already
thoroughly out of control .
32. It often breeds an attitude of 'I could care less just so long as
I get my fun in' , which plays out in other areas of ones life.
33. It makes a person look down on good morals and values because what
they are doing isnt correct.
34. A person makes up excuses for continuing the behaviour by
suppressing their moral conscience, thus willfully duping themselves.
That is never a correct thing to do.
35 . After a lifelong pursuit of casual sex, it leaves one feeling
unfulfilled in life because sex isnt the ultimate reason for living.
36. It inhibites getting into a deeper relationship with another so a
person never gets to experience a deep satisfying relationship...only
a surface one because its all centered around momentary sex.
37. It cheats both people out of knowing one another on a deep
emotional level because casual sex doesnt allow for such a thing.
38. It renders both people to nothing more than forest animals seeking
to get their own needs met...when human beings are above forest
animals and have infinite intrinsic worth .
39 . It causes a lack of self dignity within a person because deep
down inside, they know casual sex is wrong to do.
40 . It causes people to look down on those who desire to refrain from
having casual sex and encourages name calling in order to help justify
their pursuit of a casual sex lifestyle. Thus, they self decieve
themselves which is always wrong to do.
41 . Many feel pushed into casual sex in order not to be alone, or to
keep the other around so they can *feel they have someone significant
in their life.
42 . Many want to exit the lifestyle due to guilt but they feel
enslaved to it because a bond has deepened with the other person which
they cant break free from.
43 . An irresponsible and uncaring mass Media fools the people into
casual sex from the relentless advertising, tv programs, radio
programs, movies, billboards, songs, etc...which promises so much
fun . So the immoral mass Media wins at the expense of common people
who were decieved.
44 . The value of a person becomes based on how well they perform and
satisfy the other person ; if they dont do a good job, then they get
left for someone else until they become a bore then they get left for
someone else...ad infinitum.
45. It puts a big emphasis on 'what can you do for ME ?' , thereby
making YOU more important than anyone else or anything else. It leads
to strong ego-centricism thereby making oneself their own god.
46. It becomes bad for an entire Nation when sexual hedonism runs
rampant as it has in EVERY previous era of history .
47. It is wrought with many other repercussions and consequences which
have not been mentioned above.
48. Our sexual nature is only ONE part of our Being and there is
nothing that says it has to be used by us.
49. People can feel complete satisfaction in life minus having casual
sex with another. In America, we've been duped into thinking we cant.
50. Many Companies make money off of people who are sexually
irresponsible , who are duped to thinking it is their *right* to have
illicit sex , and who think they cant live without it . It is wrong to
allow such Companies to experience huge financial gain from their
exploiting your genitals to be used in a wrongful manner .

Why do you suppose these things are not discussed openly in schools or
in public ?

yes I felt guilt and a sense of "that's all there is to it?"

I dealt with the guilt by simply rationalizing by telling myself over and over it really wasn't that big a deal...

Now, it is one of those things I wish I could do over...that and waiting so long to accept Christ as my Lord and Savior.

She, like yourself if you wish , can choose to look it up using a Bible Concordance or by doing a simply 'Google Search' .

Speaking of genuineness *ahem* don't expect to get answers from this guy, Gadarene. Remember over in that other thread that got locked down, TheyCallMeDave was supposed to provide legitimate, scientific evidence for ID? Well, the thread was shut down before I could answer the requisite questions so Dave would post his evidence. I answered the questions in a PM just now, and he wrote back telling me that my answers were insufficient, and that I would be better off doing the research myself.

IOW: This guy's full of hot air. As per expectations.

What would prove your genuineness would be to answer the question instead of engage in evasion yet again.

You already responded to her question directly without this nonsense - so why not include some Bible references too, which is what she actually asked for? You have this unfortunate habit of going evasive whenever someone questions your statements.

It was already pretty evident prior to that thread, but additional confirmations are always amusing.

Or extremely frustrating. I don't know why I expect any different sometimes, but I'm almost always let down.
