No. I have made that up.
It does seem most people, especially religious ones, seem so hang up on sex outside marriage. Now, in an age when there was no formal education, girls got married almost as soon as they had their menses. Since virginity was such a prized possession, it made sense to marry off the girls young. But now with formal education, both boys and girls get married at later dates but no solution has been found for raging hormones. To solve this problem, this blogger has a solution
I don’t think a Christian woman should move out of her fathers house until she marries, especially considering the absolute sexual immorality we live amongst.
Rebekah is not taking any of you to hell. Maybe just say hello to her.
Have you been aware that you could be suffering from birth anxiety? There is such a thing as birth anxiety.
I didn’t know fundamentalists have been around for a century now.
Maybe religion is here to stay.
Happy week everyone.
Way way back, women were married off to the
highest biddernearest farmer so the two farms could join forces. They were cattle, in the eyes of the world, and a liability unless they were married to a ‘good’ farmer or shop owner, and could have babies. Women were basically considered a drain on the economy, not being allowed to work (for money). With few exceptions they had little say in the matter.And far better for the daughters to get pregnant within the bounds of marriage than without. And back even further than that, only the wealthy had actual ceremonies, in the countryside “jumping the broomstick” was a time honored way to marry.
What IS this absolute sexual immorality we live in? Is there a map? Can we all have some? I’ve been around for about a zillion years, and have yet to see anything as bad as that sounds. Naked drunken college seniors singing under their girl friends’ windows, yeah, and some hearty scuffling in the back seat of cars in the days when backseats –well–never mind…

In a sense, in many places, this practice is still extant. So if it is not to the highest bidder, it is usually to one with highest potential for future earnings or comes from a good family- moneywise- and all.
I wish i had an answer to this

God wants all women as virgins before they are married. For men, this is really not key

A doctor broke mine when I was 7 years old during an examination, & mother was right there. I didn’t even know what that was, or why it was painful until I got older & started learning about reproduction & sex.

Did your old lady say anything?

No, I had some sort of genital rash, & I was being examined. I had no clue at that age what a hymen was. I don’t even know if she knew, & I did holler ouch. She could have thought he hurt the rash….whatever….nothing was said then or later. It was only when I was older & began reading things that I realized what had happened.

I beg to differ, slightly. There is a type of man who will push a woman and push and push to have sex with her, and when she finally says yes, he then looks at her and says, “you slut” and walks away. But only, you understand, after. Not before.
Friend of mine finally ‘gave in’ to her fiance, a week before the wedding. He dumped her, and they had to call off the wedding. I think he did her a huge favor, but she was still stunned and devastated. And imagine having to tell your family why…

When I got pushed, I just got very pissed off, so I most certainly didn’t ”give in”.

What the eff! I agree he did her a huge favour, but only in retrospect. That must have been hard to deal with at the time.

yep. When I hit 18 I realized that all bets were off, when it came to being “jail bait” and it was a lot easier to say no to someone if you knew what you were saying “no” about. And I wanted the “no” to be MY choice, not because I was afraid of what it would be like. Informed choices, all the way. I’ve never regretted it.

I like that first post you linked. Someone wants to tell me that Christianity isn’t all that bad, I’m gonna point to it. I’m kind of surprised that blogger stopped at just keeping women locked up until they’re sold. Why not go full OT and demand women stop being treated as people?
