I have no clue how HIV got brought up. Were not in Africa you know...
I agree with post #7, seek help face-to-face, where you can set out everything that happened and make a decision from there.I know what took place that night, just wanted to talk to others to see if what I'm feeling is normal. While I didn't feel scared for my life the way some rape victims do, I felt betrayed. Not too much I left out that I did't share, besides the fact that when he pulled his pants down, my first question was.."do you have a condom". He didn't respond and went about his business.I told him to stop, told him I could get pregnant, and that's when he said he would pull out. I continued to tell him to please stop, but he was in his own little world.
Every sex thread here gets turned into an HIV discussion. The odds are extremly favorable that a normal heterosexual does not have HIV. It is very very very rare that a hetero that does not do drugs or have sex with hookers will have HIV.
They had discussed sex with a condom, not without. She asked him to use one and he refused. My Patho textbook estimates 1 in 5 American adults has Herpes virus 2. He put her at risk of pregnancy and all STI's.Doesn't sound like she fought him off, sounds like she weakly protested and then gave in.
Well said, a2597. My prayer is with you Lilyy. Remember every sin we commit is putting another nail in our savior's hand.*Sigh*
Why is it so near impossible for people to simply LOVE, and not judge?
If we are to live by God's example through Jesus, then we should relize that Jesus didn't discriminate, He didn't tell repentent sinners that they were evil, he gave them salvation.
Lilyy was raped, pure and simple. Yea, hormones were high, but she said stop, and he didn't. She said use a condom, he didn't. she tried fighting him off, and failed.
Is she to take the blame for being raped? True, she did allow a make out session to go a little far, but that doesn't mean wanting or initiating sex. So no.
And if she has asked for God's forgivness through Christ, then she is forgiven of any wrongs she had in this instance, and what she NEEDS from us is support, not condemnation. It is not our right to judge, but it is our duty to love.
lilyy, by grace you have been saved though faith in Jesus Christ. By asking His forgivness, you are washed clean of any sin you may have commited. I do not belive being raped is a sin on your part, but on his, none the less, it matters not at this point.
Right now, you probably are in need of some counseling from a pastor or other person that can help. Via the internet, we simply are unable to offer the compassion you need. Words speak only so loud when written like this, and we don't know you well enough to truly help you heal from this emotionally.
True, we can offer advice, but in the end, I belive that a person who knows you personally, such as a pastor, would be more capable of helping you deal with this.
Good luck, and I'm praying for you.
The 4,883 people were only from 33 states, not the entire United States, and that is the number who were diagnosed, not total who have it in this age range. Of course there are even more who have not been diagnosed. Homosexual behaviour is a big factor, but most women are getting it through heterosexual sex.^^ Most of which where hookers, sleeping around BIG TIME, and or doing IV drugs.
Exactly. 4,300 is an super small amount of the population (.00195%) of about 220,000,000 total USA pop. What percentage of that number is from IV drugs and homosexual behavior? If you just take a random sample at a club, you need 100,000 people there to find almost 2 people with AIDS.
I'm not saying AIDs isn't a big issue. I'm saying that your odds of getting it from a normal person in the 'burbs is like getting hit by lighting.
Remember that forgiveness means that you don't need to have this situation drag you down. You are a new creature. You did not deserve to have your rights violated like this, but unfortunately sometimes we put ourselves in dangerous situations. I hope that you will be able to use the situation eventually as a learning experience/comfort to others. Please don't let it be a reason to not wait until you're married before you have sex again. The wonderful thing is that you get to start over.This will be my last post here as I feel some are making me out to be the bad guy. Tuffguy I did try to fight him off by using my legs which did nothing. I figured he's not listening to me so why try to fight it. You can go back and read my previos post, I DID mention trying to get him off of me.Again he's only slept with two other women and they were virgins as well, so my chances of catching hiv are pretty nil. And in case anyones wondering if I'm easy and sleep around, NO! That was my first time. Great first time huh??
The part of you enjoying it? That is normal. Of course your body will give into physical pleasure. But your soul doesn't have to. When your body and soul disagree, something terrible is going on. Stop trying to blame yourself for this. It is date rape, without question. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!I still feel like I bear a brunt of the responsibility. I hate tro admit this,but towards the end I started to enjoy the feeling. I think part of me just stopped trying to fight it. I have mixed feelings about breaking up. He's been calling but I havent answered yet.
Were you there? Do you know what it was like for her? Then don't judge her. Granted I wasn't either, but I can sense her fear. Besides, it should only take one protest. If he truly loved and respected her, he would have stopped with one word from her.Doesn't sound like she fought him off, sounds like she weakly protested and then gave in.
Yes, its rare, but not impossible. It's better to be safe than sorry.Every sex thread here gets turned into an HIV discussion. The odds are extremly favorable that a normal heterosexual does not have HIV. It is very very very rare that a hetero that does not do drugs or have sex with hookers will have HIV.
