GG, if this helps, I think I have a fairly complete knowledge of the bible. If there's one thing I have learned, it is that too many people inflict half baked notions as religious doctrine upon the young or ignorant. The bible does not condemn sexual activity. It condemns sexual activity among those who do not care for each other. If you don't believe me, just read the Song of Solomon. Maybe if you give it a good read your feelings that sex is wrong will change. I hope so. It pains me to see so many so-called fundamentalists who have such limited understanding of the bible. Please understand, I do not refer to you, but those to whom you may have entrused spiritual guidance.

I am truly sorry you are having such trouble. Since I believe it is unlikely that your upbringing is solely responsible, I strongly recommend therapy to help you with this; however, if that is not an option, for whatever reason, the best defence is still a good offence. Get your hands on a bible and educate yourself. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps and doesn't sound too preachy. I'm sorry if it does, but someone has to take a stand against all the hypocritical bs being spouted by all these "you're going to hell" so-called christians. Christianity is all about loving one another, not making people feel bad about having perfectly natural feelings.
