• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hey, I am not to sure where I should post this, or if it appropriate on this site. I am sorry if it is not PG.

Last night I went to a friends house(he is not saved as far as I know) for a party.
We usually play video games, and shoot each other with airsoft guns, till about 2-3 in the mourning.

Well, I went to the party last night, and there was about 5(4 guys, 1 girl) of us playing games and what not.
And someone(not sure who) decided that we should play Strip Poker...(eh, bad Idea).

Well, as far as I know, most of us where thinking it would be over as soon
as one of us had to lose our pants, or if the girl had to lose her shirt.
(I guess I should not have even started, but I thought we would just all quit as before any one was nude)

Well... guess I should not go into details of who lost what.

PG Section below, but lacks details !!!
But the girl ended up losing shirts and bra (And I did tell the girl "dont do it", atleast twice), I looked away(really did not want to see, and she did cover herself(praise God, very thankful she coverd herself)) and covered my eyes, and played one more round or so while peaking at my cards, and then quit.

Well, I quit before I saw much nudity(some one was covering them self) and I was looking away.

And then went and stared at a computer screen and a wall trying to ignore them, then I left the room, and spoke through the door "dont do it" when lost.
The game continued till someone won.

They all said it was cool that I had morals like that several times. And one of them later told me that that one of my best traits, was that I was modest, and another said I was a really nice, and moral guy.(or something like that).

I would really like to hear any of your questions, or comments.

What Should have I done? Probably should have just left as soon as they started to play... but I honestly thought everyone would quit, and that there would be no nudity.

What Should I do now? I barely know the girls father, and he is very protective of her, and would become quite upset over this. And she is not yet 18. I thought about telling him.
But, I talked to a friend about this, and he says it will just get her mad at me(and lots of other kids would be upset at me too), and it will get her introuble, and possibly, everyone else at the party too.

God Bless You,
Lonnie

You did a good job considering the circumstances. You are young and the situation was new. It was a positive thing that you eventually and ultimately stood on your morals. You would be suprised how many will take note of your stand and wish they had also had the courage to have stood. Not to say they are bad, but they too are young and sexual attraction is a very strong drive in all of us. Look at it like this; you were not perfect, but on the scale of things, I would say you did well and stood your ground. Now take the event that happened and learn from it.

Staying there was great, and you acted ina way that set out your standards to them, which were obviously appreciated by some. That should enhance your standards with them.

Don't tell. That would betray trust and friendship. She is 18 an is making her own decisions. That's her call.

Many young people do things like that - strip games, skinny dipping etc. The outcomes will vary depending on each person's values and standards. You continue to live out yours in front of them, and tell them why when opportunity is there.

Bless you

Thanks for comments, I really do appreciate them.

I wont tell on her, or my other friends. As it wont make them change, it will just get everyone in trouble, and make them mad at me.(like you, and others have said)

Also, my friends do seem to be going through some important times in there lives. One of them told me he felt like he was going against his standards(he is not a christian). And another told me something like "I feel like I may be going down the wrong path" or something like that, I cant remember exactly what he said. I warned him that many people have gone down that path, and I have seen terrible things happen to those who do.

Wish I would have asked something like "which path do you think you should go on"? Or something more. Hope I get to talk to him more about that sooner than later.

Anyways, if you would pray for my friends, that would be great <staff edit>, there where many other people at the party too, and they do need prayer too.

Ill try to post more threads some where on CF of what progress they make towards God in the (hopefully) near future.

Thanks

Don't worry about it too much, Nudity can be a beautiful thing, after all, it was how Adam and Eve started before the apple. But it's lust and fornication that were sin...lol I must admire you, young man, for keeping your heart righteous and away from defilement, well done. :)

How does she feel about it?
Im not to sure what she thinks of it, I have not seen her since then. But Im hoping to find out what she thinks about it within this week.

But, I have spoken to 2 of the guys there, and they apologized about it, and said that it wont happen again(one of them was the host). So, thats really good, prayers have been answered.
