I left mormonism about six months ago. In the church I was always looked down upon and was never asked out on dates. Yet when I left, I've been asked out by many men.
I am currently in my first relationship and am amazed at what a relationship really is. It is nothing like the chruch teaches. I often stay at my boyfriends place because it is close to work and well, who wouldn't want to spend more time with the person they care about?
I was always more openly sextual than anyone in my family. I was often shamed into beleiving my behavior was wrong. When I first started college my older sister gave me some advice.
She said that a person who lives with their boyfrined without marraiage is just an unpaid whore.
I find this thinking in the Christian faith as well. Since I often 'live' with my boyfriend I made the connection that she would consider me a whore. There is sooooo much more to sexuality that just sex. My boyfriend has treated me with more respect that any other person in my life thus far. There is no way he thinks of me as just a means to have sex.
Why do Mormons (and Christians) not get this?
What do you think?
