Sexual preservation and marriage
My belief is that the very essence of value and purity lies in virginity.
In our concurrent era sex has been grossly perverted. Not just as a casual desensitised experience, but an absurd indulgence that can ruin lives and tarnish innocence. It has also become largely monetised as a profitable business. Would you believe me that some pornographic sites garner up to 5.25 billion visits per month? That statistics on how perversion and sexual sin is idolised warps its way into society in different forms is staggering. And worst of all children and youngsters alike in our current generation have easy access to an infinite cyberspace which hosts a vast number of these things.
I’ve always been taught by my parents that as a women we must cherish ourselves, our independence and most importantly our physicality. Virginity isn’t an exchange. Or just a barrier that’s loosely open for others to break pass. It’s the essence of a woman. And it’s just as much as an essence to a man. Preserving myself and virginity for marriage is a covenant between myself and God. It’s a barrier that holds my upmost integrity.
Contrary to popular opinion, many “romantic” relationships aren’t just purely voluntarily. Or even lustful. Although lust and such are very common drivers of such relationships, peer pressure also plays a part. Our generation often romanticises even the most ordinary relationships between the opposite sex whether it’s neutral or not. This is why even relating normally with the opposite sex can be seen as an advancement to a sexual or romantic relationship. People cannot do without trying to put two and two together. In addition to this although these perceived relations between a man and woman can be purely friendly not romantic, peers may try to influence or encourage such people to date. This often evolves to a “romantic”relationship erupting purely from pressure and encouragement not even love.
We must learn that with sexual preservation and abstinence from lust, our virtue and moral compass is upholded.
