I’m so nervous to have this conversation. I’m preparing to ignore the religious/judgmental comments I will get. From “False prophet” to “that’s why I don’t believe.” So let me be clear, that’s what's wrong with religion and society. We’re not allowed to ask questions or have conversations without judgement. Especially when it comes to sex. So if you are super religious then this episode is not for you.
This is not for atheists who want to judge my beliefs. Jesus is my homeboy and I don’t have a problem with my belief in him, I have a problem with religion and the messages I believe women receive around sex that has brought on so much shame. Jesus had a problem with religion which is why he was flipping tables in the Bible.
So this is only for people with open ears and those who want to hear with open ears about women trying to heal from sexual shame. I started my journey 3-4 years ago. I started reading, praying, reading and praying some more about where I stood.
Let’s be clear again; I’m abstinent and I promised myself that in my season of abstinence I would use it to heal and truly seek God, so I could hear from God. Not Society and certainly not religion. The shame I used to have, let's say it was about 100lbs and now I’ve got about 25lbs left. This conversation is about my healing way more than it is about yelling at purity culture.
This conversation is for my clients and the women, Christian women who feel so judged and trapped in shame around sex.
This conversation is because the church seems to be embarrassed about having real conversations about sex. The only thing we’re told is wait until you’re married. There is no room for; “it’s going to be hard” “Your body will betray you” “why you should wait” let alone “how to wait.”
My goal is to answer my questions, many of the same questions you may have as a Christian woman who grew up in church but also my goal is to encourage you to study the bible for yourself don’t listen and act according to me. I’m just trying to heal and talking about my ish for the last 3-4 years has helped me tremendously.
So in all my nervousness let’s talk. I hope it frees at least one woman.
