God has created sex for marriage alone… but that story you gave up above about the skit really bothered me. Yes, having premarital sex is a sin, but God gives forgiveness.  

“Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.” Acts 13:38-39

When you have sex outside of marriage, I believe you are giving some of yourself away to that person. 

I look at it like this: Imagine sex as a wrapped up gift under the Christmas tree. On Christmas Eve you desperately want to know what is inside the package…so you take a quick peek. During the day you keep going back to look again. By Christmas morning the wrapping is torn and it doesn’t look as appealing as it once did. You aren’t as excited about your present as you were when you first saw it. You didn’t wait till you were suppose to receive it….It’s just not the same. You would have enjoyed the gift more if you had waited.  

I am not a Christmas present.  I am an intelligent, caring, loving, fun, creative person who loves deeply and the fact that I am not a virgin does not negate or lessen my value as a human being.  My love is not ‘torn’ or ‘unappealing’ because I have had sex.  I and anyone lucky enough to be loved by me knows that.

You say that you disagree with the teacher in the above story, but your anecdote does the same thing.  It implies that people have a limited amount of worth and that each time one has premarital sex it is lessened.  That the person is a half-empty bottle of perfume or a slightly torn Christmas present.

As the author of the ProChoiceGeneration post (hi, I’m Maria), I think you missed the point of my original post.  If you or anyone else decides to wait until marriage for sex and are confident in your decision, I am happy for you.  Anyone being confident in what they want in their lives is pretty great.  But here’s the thing, you just told me that I am a Christmas present and that my boyfriend is some mischievous kid who ‘ruins his surprise’.  In that statement, you turned a loving, egalitarian, and deep relationship into an interaction between a child and an object.  You dehumanized me and others who have had sex and I will not stand for that. 

Reblogging again because Maria’s fucking commentary, man.
