We live in this life and we are expected to go with what’s trending now or what’s cool to do. So many of us, including me, have been guilty of this; wanting to fit in to the status quo and not wanted to be the one that stands out. I’m not ashamed to admit that I am 21 years old and I am still a virgin. It’s very important to me. When you are intimate with someone, they take a piece of you, not only physically and spiritually. I never believed in the words, “test drive” or “testing the waters.” That means, I would be giving away a part of me to everybody, when in naturally we are supposed to be giving all of us to that one person God has for us.

You may be saying, “Why is he saying this; is he looking down on people that aren’t virgins?” No, not at all. Being pure is more than the physical aspect of it, although that is important, but it’s also spiritual. Matthew 5:8 states, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

So to answer the question, “What it’s like being a Virgin in 2014?” Is it hard? Honestly speaking, yes it is. You can’t look at TV nowadays and not see a girl half naked, but it is important to use self control and know that it will be worth with when you save yourself for marriage. Hebrews 13:4 states, “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.”

Marriage is not honored anymore. These days, it’s all about “hooking up.”

According to Elizabeth James @Perfected_Soul “RESPECT IS NEEDED FOR RELATIONSHIPS TO GROW. Ladies we are so much more than our hips and sour melon breasts, life comes out of us! Respect that! Honor that! Men, stop thinking with just your loins. It is an honor to procreate but allow the fruits to ripe on the tree before you pick them. Let these ladies grow up so that they can bless you back for honoring them. Your wife will be the first teacher of your child. Do not be ignorant about this any more. Did you not come from a woman? Of course you did, then honor all women. Let them honor you too for who you are as well. There is no need for hate and jealousy among men and women, for we so desperately need each other.”

Being a 21 year old virgin in 2014 is all right with me.
