Join date Apr. 20, 2003. You know that it's illegal to look at porn while underage (also against TFP rules to be a member at that age,) right?
As for your issue, I was raised traditional Catholic and I turned out perfectly fine (I do not consider my formerly religious self to be fine in any respect.) I'll offer advice based on my personal experience.
What you have to understand is that even if she wants to turn 180° and abandon her upbringing, it will take time for her to question and dismiss what she has been told for well over 99% of her life. Remember that while you see it as a great way to express your love, she's been told that doing anything including and beyond french kissing will result in eternity in hell. Even if you don't believe it, it's hard to shake that.
It may be a while before she's comfortable with anything more than what you're doing now. Unlike most situations in which compromise is the best solution, you have to go at her pace since you're ready and willing to go faster than she is. She's the one who would be changing, you have to support her.
Considering what you wrote, it seems that you're interested in much more than just a physical relationship, and you'll do fine if you're willing to let her take the lead.
