Hi there,
Well, I was on the Tyra show site a couple of days ago and and saw that Thursdays show was on teen virgins and "the peer pressure they face to become promiscuous, and the embarrassment they feel for not being sexually active." I was not in front of a television at that time so I did not see the show. However, I still have something to say.
I think that we need to value ourselves, have some self love. Agh! Just know that you are worthy. Why should you feel embarrassed for not being sexually active? Just because all your friends speak highly of it, it does not mean that you should take part. The grass is not always greener on the other side.
I believe that our bodies are sacred and the Lords temple. I believe that we are to wait for the one who truly loves us and who can commit to us. You see what happens is that when we give it too easy that little spark is gone; that little spark of hunt and chase dissipates into thin air. Guys like to hunt. That drive is in them and if you take that away, it is no longer fun. Where's the challenge? Where's that pride in saying, yeah he worked hard for it? Where's the mystery for the guy? And trust, all things that come too easy don't last for long. It is with the dedication, commitment, and esteemed faith that things are earned, deserved and cherished.
Now you may disagree with me and say: "But no I am not giving it too easy. I am just in a relationship and that is what we do. I don't want to be with him for so long and then find out that he can't satisfy me in the bedroom. Come on, you gotta try it out first." Well I am not asking you to agree with me, I am only suggesting that you think before you act.
Now, I will not go into the all well known consequences that might occur, but instead I want to keep it on that subject that I have always believed in; and that is self love.
You should love yourself enough to know that you are worth the wait. I know, I think I have said this before. But it just seems like it can't be said enough. I believe that it is important for all women to understand their value and to know that their self worth is so far beyond imaginable. If we can understand that one thing and just that alone, then we will be able to unleash the tiger that is within. As women we have so much hidden strength and power that has not been tapped into because we just don't know how. We look for answers everywhere except within ourselves.
The answer lies within; we were created to be fierce.
Be not pressured.
We live to create
We live to love
We live to live
