  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi!

I belonged for many years to religion and then left for many reasons, like I didn't belive that there's only one truth and salvation, I felt that I lost my identity and because it was forbidden to date someone that wasn't in the same religion... So when I left the religion I had no romantic and sexual experience and looked for it desesperatly. I had sex with two different guys. With the first one I thought he cared for me... He just lied. And the second one I knew he just wanted sex from me, but I liked him and agree to be with him... But I developed romantic feelings to him, so I thought, and he was so cold to me... So I left him. I felt a huge guilt about what I did and I'm still praying to God for forgiveness. I didn't repeat the experience with none, although I've had oportunities to do it.

Now I'm waiting for someone for a romantic relationship. I would like to wait for sex until marriage, I know that God's advice is just for our protection. But I don't know honestly if I can wait if that person appears, because of my desire and because maybe my future boyfriend won't agree to wait. I also think about death... When I belonged to the religion, I used to think in the promise of the new world, but now I don't know if I'll have the bless to see it. So I think that propably I will die, so then I ask myself, why should I wait until marriage and why should I wait for a boyfriend? Do you understand me? Any advice please?

Another question I would like to ask... Maybe this sounds ironic... When I see that people have sexual encounters with anyone, being unfaithful to their partners or just for fun I really feel hurt... For example: Last week I went to a party with my brother's friends. One of them flirted with me, but I got distance from him to see what he really wants. But when he say that I won't give him things easyly he looked for someone else and took her to his bedroom... I really felt hurt and cried... I know that I felt hurt because of his rejection, but I also feel hurt when I see that someone is cheating on their partner... do you feel the same way? I think that maybe I just want to "have fun" to gain social acceptance and don't feel this pain and don't struggle any more... Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Dani_Dancer

Well, for one thing, you shouldn't assume things about all men based on some less-than-perfect experiences. If you want to live your life a certain way - if you want to be celibate henceforth - you will eventually meet someone who respects you for that.

The danger of contracting an STD alone is worth being less than free with your sexuality.

That said, if you meet someone and you cannot hold out until marriage, go to your respective doctors, Planned Parenthood or a local public health clinic and make sure you're both clean. If a guy really loves you he'll both wait and put up with the testing.
