This past week, was a deluge of conversation emanating from an overly flaunted topic. The point was not to argue the moral dilema of sexual activity as much as the emotional devastation resulting from it.
It was purposed that even the very barrage of media’s attention to the issue of sex seems to create complexities in our own thought processes, self-perceptions and life view. Yet, though these public displays are overt in in nature, they are not as damaging to one’s psyche as the sexual secrets people maintain.
Whether pornography, fantasy or sexual interaction, it is the guilt and shame of that which is held in the shadows that chip away at our self-worth, confidence and security.
The complexities come when we attempt to compensate for those sexual failures only to find ones’ self repeating these behaviors over and over again.
What can a person do to combat their own personal demons?
Do you experience more pain: the day after? or years after?
Scientifically, sex is directly linked to depression. Why?

The pain for me is that I didnt wait. If I could change something I would of loved to been able to say my vows and be pure to my spouse. So my pain is years after that wont ever go away. I really wish more people would wait. I do know it is a personal choice and my personal choice has changed and I cant ever take it back…
As we were discussing a description of sexy, my mind went to those ads in the teen magazines that always said something like “You don’t have to have sex to be sexy.”
