XXXChurch: Womens Blog
I was always curious about sex, but I didn’t get any info about it from my parents. I would peek at trashy romance novels with my best friend, looking for the dirty parts. Then, I stumbled across a Victorian erotica novel that I was drawn to because it shared my grandmother’s name. It was filled with S & M stuff and all kinds of visuals that never belonged in my 14-year-old mind. I just got...
I guess I can trace my addiction back to my 2012 break up, about a year ago.
I became very lonely and started masturbating frequently. It became so heartbreaking to me that I could become involved in that and nof being able to stop. When it "didn’t work" anymore, I started looking at lustful images. It progressed onto very "soft-core" stuff, but it got nastier and nastier. See, when you start...
I found myself sitting in the bathroom thinking that one day. I was really grieved that this union that I had waited to well into my 30s to form had ended up leaving me feeling as isolated and lonely as when I was single. Except now worse, because when I was single, I, at least had girlfriends to commiserate with. Now, married life had distanced me from those bonds and the one I was supposed...
Did I ever think it would get out of hand? This badly? At Bible College? Never in my life did I think I would return to pornography – yaoi, to be exact. I had spent three – almost four – years clean and during the final year, I was also clean of masturbation. After a few small relapses during my junior year, I spiraled back into my old habit just as though it had never stopped while I was in...
"No adultery is bloodless."---Natalia Ginzburg
This particular situation is close to my heart because I have been the person crying and confused over this exact scenario. Honestly, my relationship with God has become stronger because He has guided me through my feelings and self-inflicted guilt due to becoming involved with a man who has an ex-wife and two small children. I will venture to...
“Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.”—--Marilyn Monroe
Who isn’t familiar with the iconic Marilyn Monroe? She was a beautiful Hollywood star that men and women alike adored. In my early twenties I, too, was fascinated by her. I bought books about her and collected her movies and any other knick-knack with her picture on it. Had she...
"Sex: The thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble."---John Barrymore
Everywhere I go, in both spiritual and secular circles, people seem to be obsessed with sex on one level or another. Some people aren't getting enough of it, while others seem to be getting way too much of it before they're ready.
From a physical perspective, sex is two bodies...
"Kids. They're not easy. But there has to be some penalty for sex."---Bill Maher
"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate."---Proverbs 127:3-5
We are...
"Consuming pornography does not lead to more sex, it leads to more porn. Much like eating McDonalds everyday will accustom you to food that (although enjoyable) is essentially not food, pornography conditions the consumer to being satisfied with an impression of extreme sex rather than the real."---Virginie Despentes
I’m a relationship writer and coach but at my core, I’m an observer of...
"Sex is emotion in motion."---Mae West
Mae West’s quote, “Sex is emotion in motion” is a far cry from truth in my world. Frankly, this quote is disgusting to me. As I reflect on any past decision or action taken on emotion, it has gotten me absolutely nowhere. Let’s reverse back to my life four not so short years ago...
At this time in 2009, I was hungry for attention. I was at the end of a...
