Growing up, I noticed a trend in the movies I watched, the songs I heard, the way women's fashion was becoming more revealing, and the increase in pornographic material for men. I see this trend showing how popular and acceptable being promiscuous has become. Promiscuity is such a part of our culture that now being open about our sexuality seems viewed more as a virtue than an offence, as it once was viewed 50 years ago. Understanding this trend, I grew up being repulsed by sex and scared of women. Sex is now rarely portrayed as something that is mysterious, beautiful, or even appealing. I even began to perceive it as being something almost vulgar or something to be feared. I was also confused because everywhere I went the message seemed to be that if you weren't having sex, you were somehow incomplete. I was even more confused in the midst of my teen years when friends began telling stories of heart-break and pain due to experimenting sexually and getting hurt in the process. Something is not right with this picture. To me, it appears that more problems result when we give in to the pressure to be sexually explicit over waiting to experience sex. Deep in my heart, I wanted to view sex as something sacred: something I would not give to just anyone. So I decided at a young age to wait to have sex until marriage. As some make a conscious decision not to take drugs, I consciously decided not to give my body to many women, but only to the woman I marry.
