5 Reasons I Decided To Stop Having Sex Until Marriage
Where I grew up in the Northeast, sex wasn’t just normal; it was expected. By the time I became sexually active, I already felt late compared to most of my friends, who began early in high school. It was never something we questioned. It was just part of growing up.
So when I went to college in Tennessee, I remember being shocked to meet people who were still virgins. I had never been in an environment where I thought waiting was even an option. But even then, I didn’t question my own beliefs. If anything, it only reinforced my conviction that my open-minded, progressive views on sex made me empowered and free-spirited. I believed I was making “mature” choices and living the way a 20-something woman in a big city was supposed to: embracing freedom, having flings, and following the path that everyone seemed to accept as normal.
