i used to go with my parents to church. that was when i was a kid, and my parents have _never_ talked about sexuality to me. so i had to develop my own morals. i really didn't know what was right, what was wrong.
as a result i started out by playing it "safe." you know, save yourself for "the one." whether that meant marriage or not i wasn't sure. as i grew up, i stopped going to church and began learning about sexuality from more unbiased sources. school played a large role, both education and peers.
i now see sex for what it is, that is, just sex. not something taboo, something sacred, some special event that needs to be perfect. i don't know if you can attribute my new view on sex to my decline in religion, or to education or something else, but that's how it happened. i particularly remember the argument against waiting until marriage.
"when you meet 'the one' do you really want to screw it up? be nervous and not know what you're doing? it's like anything else, you need practice. besides, it'd be stupid to marry someone without knowing something as critical as how they are in bed."
