I am no longer a virgin. I’ve had sex with a few people and
I don’t care to let people know how old I was when I “lost” it. I don’t regret
having sex – I regret waiting. When I think back to all of the frustration I was put through, it infuriates me. This “purity culture” is bullshit. What kind of perverted
crap is this when 8-year-old girls pledge their vaginas to their daddies? Don’t
believe me? Watch The
Virgin Daughters. Besides, there’s nothing in the Bible that says you can’t
fantisize, watch porn, or masturbate. They say
it does, but it doesn’t. And they’ll use the topic of lust being a sin to prove
their point.
The scripture that they (the religious conservatives) point to most often is Matthew 5:27-28, which reads: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[e] 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (NIV). The term in Greek for woman (γυνή) can actually be translated as “wife,” they are interchangeable. I’ve heard in those times, you did not say, “This is my wife,” you would say, “This is my woman.” Why is that important? Because the scripture can now be saying that you shouldn’t look on someone else’s wife with lust. Furthermore, the term “lust” in Mt 5:27 is the same word for the word “covet” in the Septuagint (LXX). The term denotes more than simply looking and fantasizing. It means to plan, to scheme, to want at all costs. So now, Mt 5:27-28 looks like this: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery (unlawful intercourse with another man’s wife). But I tell you that anyone who looks at a wife (a woman who belongs to another man) lustfully (planning or trying to take her from said man) has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” When you look upon a woman and you have feelings of wanting her, you are not sinning – unless you, fully knowing she’s married to someone else, try and take her for yourself. Otherwise, no one would be able to get married without sinning. Here are some vids for you to check out.
