Swords, Roses, and Feminism!

doubtingansley:

Ugh, I got so much crap from two of my friends last night for being chaste.

One of them was appalled that I don’t masturbate and offered to get me a vibrator for my birthday…

My other friend basically implied that I was only setting myself up for failure because I’m putting sex on this pedestal and can only be disappointed. He said I don’t like sex for a reason (my past abuse) and that’s not going to change within marriage.

I wanted to write a post about this last night. This article was perfectly timed. <3

Listen to the sermon, too!

[Chastity] is often looked upon as oppressive. Placing shackles and chains on this natural urge; placing unhealthy limits on our freedom. 

^That’s exactly what they were trying to tell me. That I’ have an unhealthy relationship with my sexuality… 

I know that feel bro.

The topic came up at dinner because I have several friends who are sexually active, and I casually mentioned that sex really isn’t relevant to my life at the moment.

And the friend who had been babbling about all her conquests told me “I’m sorry…”

and I was like, “Why? I’m not. I’m making the right choice for myself…”

And she was just like, “No, I’m sorry.”

So much for it being MY choice? :/
