Donna,
No, stop playing around with sex to see how far you can go without going all the way. Let me be frank, the number one reason people go to Hell is because of sexual sin.
Because the Blessed Mother showed numerous persons the reality of Hell in apparitions and explained it. Study Fatima, Akita, and other places Mary has appeared and see what she had to say. Our Blessed Mother is not interested in causing people fear but trying to warn them that something is terribly wrong. We have completely gone crazy about sex, and there are eternal consequences.
Sex is a sacred gift from God, meant to tie two people together, permanently, and to bring forth new life. Your sexual impulse is meant to be life-giving, but the culture (influenced by the devil) has turned it into something distorted, simply meant for pleasure, erasing the procreative purpose altogether.
That is why abortion, birth-control, and safe-sex are cultural norms. They are not God norms, but counterfeit ones. Imagine if everyone was obsessed with eating food because it gave such great satisfaction, but they didn't want the calories at all — so they vomited up everything they ate.
- Would something be wrong?
When people behave this way, we say they have a disorder; but the truth is we all have a disorder about sex. We want the taste, but we don't want the aftermath — new life and permanency. God didn't make us this way, but we bought into this disorder when we adopted casual sex norms.
So, don't do it. Chastity is putting your sexuality in its proper place. Knowing you have a loving God who made you super-powerful — able to bring new life into this world, and love someone so completely that you will literally wrap yourselves together in a conjugal embrace that only death can end. Don't sell yourself short.
- Would you give the most precious diamond you inherited from generations of your family (worth billions), to just anybody?
That is what you (and the special gift of your most intimate secrets) are. I don't know anyone who waited for true love (with a ring and a date) that regretted it, but I know many who didn't wait, that do have deep regrets.
Be strong and wait.
I'll be praying for you!
