Purity Culture Kept Me from Healing 

I totally get this! I grew up and church and this same stuff was drilled in my head and I had so many self conscious issues because I always felt like my church treated me different because my parents were not saints and it wasn’t until about a yr and a half ago I had a spiratual awakening and realized there was nothing wrong with me and that no one is perfect no one is better than anyone else and a lot of my rebellion as a teen was because of how people at church made me feel! I think so many people turn away from Jesus because of what churches did to them but the problem was NEVER Jesus! I do look back as a married mom of 4 and wish I had saved myself for marriage but not because of saving myself for my husband but because sexual relationships can be so damaging we loose apart of us with those relationships because it’s more than sex for us woman! It also makes getting out of unhealthy relationships that much harder! I was sexually abused as a child so I felt like my purity was robbed from me! You should look up vlad on RU-vid he’s a minister him and his wife recently did a video on sex between a husband and wife and it was so good!

I wish I was taught, “My body, my choice”. Also that compliance doesn’t always mean consent. God did not ever create it, that a man can do whatever he pleases because he’s “the man”. It’s no wonder why so many don’t believe in God. Sadly, the absolute worst people I’ve ever met are also self professing “Christians”. I know many women who say it doesn’t matter that they tell their husband “no”, because their husband still takes it anyway. The proper word for this is called rape. Thank you for this video. I needed it because I do sometimes feel shame, when I know I shouldn’t.
