Sex?

Dear anonymous,

Sex is a funny thing. For instance, I am a virgin. Sometimes I am incredibly proud to tell anybody who asks that I have held back and am waiting for the right guy. Other times I am embarrassed that I have not yet had sex. After all, I am 21 years old. Kids these days are having sex at 11.

In certain situations, it depends on the person. If I know somebody accepts me for who I truly am, understands my values and my thoughts and most importantly my faith, then I feel okay saying I am still a virgin. On the other hand, if somebody constantly talks about how strange it is to be a virgin and proceeds to ask me, I will lie.

I'm not proud to say that I have lied to people about it. I should be proud of myself for sticking to my guns and not giving in. There have been opportunities where I could have said yes but said no. I like to think it is because I still have some integrity. Yet I lie.

It's a funny thing how something so little can mean so much.

Love,
Michelle
