Sex Is Something Sacred To Me

Don't give in.

Sex Is Something Sacred To Me
Oscar Hoang


For a while I was not ready to have sex again. I have always thought of it being something so special and meaningful. Something that you share with someone, not necessarily because you love them, but because you trust them. That's what I thought of it. Ya thought, past tense.

Since starting college last year I would get myself into situations where I was about to, but then I would back out because I couldn't betray myself like that. I knew the next day he wouldn't call me or text me or acknowledge me when he would see me on campus. I am done being treated like I am nothing, after I give in. What I mean by give in is that the guys convinces and persuades that everything will be ok and that you can trust them, but then they totally break that promise the next day. They don't answer your calls, or texts, or say hi to you. I don't want to feel like that again.

Coming back to college this year as a sophomore I thought I was ready to have sex, but I only wanted it with one person. We talked all summer and we text and he calls, but we are "together." I just felt like I could trust him. But there is something bizarre about this situation. I'm ready, but....he isn't. The roles are reversed. I kept asking myself, is it me? But it isn't me. It also isn't him though.

I never thought I would meet a guy who wasn't ready to have sex. Usually guys always want sex and they keep begging for it until you give in. But not with him. He's different. He thinks of it as something special, intimate, meaningful, and most importantly, sacred. He doesn't fully trust me yet and that's ok. I am open to waiting or just not doing it at all. Because once you have sex everything gets complicated, whether you're in a relationship or just friends or a thing, it gets all messed up.

I'm not ready. I felt like I wanted to do it just to do it. But for me I can't go out to a party and meet a guy and go home with him. I have to know him first and know I can trust him. So if you're reading this, I am ok with it. I have finally escaped my mind and realized my morals. Sex is sacred for me too.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
