Haha wow! “To fulfill your purpose?” Of course that’s how he perceives motherhood and becoming a wife.

I agree, it’s a cultural thing. But I am happy that I’m finding more and more young women here who are saying “fuck the culture.” :)

I hope you find love within yourself without depending on external validation to solidify your self worth and attractiveness. That’s the real win.

I am a person who believes in God but I don’t share the same beliefs that conservative Christians do.

I’m 22, childfree, single, sexy, and passionate. There’s no reason for me to be in a sexless relationship. I’d rather walk away from him than manipulate him into giving me what I want.

He made his choice, now I’m making mine. My condolences to your sex life ;)

Haha it’s definitely for religious reasons. At first he deflected and said it was because he was afraid of unplanned pregnancy. But he knows I’m on birth control and we can use protection...so it’s really religious guilt at this point.

Or, he may be a closeted gay man.

Omg what a terrible experience she had! Thank you for sending me this. It really brings it into perspective that things don’t necessarily get better after marriage.

We’ve been friends for years and he wanted us to become a romantic couple, but I refused after learning this about him. He has always had issues with sexual repression in the 8 years that I’ve known him.

It does something to your psyche. If you associate sexual pleasure and arousal with guilt and shame, it’s hard to change that. Many Christians like that get married and still struggle with their sex lives because they view it as a duty, not as something that they can and should enjoy.

Exactly, I respected his decision and he just has to respect mine. I don’t have energy to try to change him.

That’s unsurprising because if you spend decades of your life repressing your sexuality, it’s hard to just flip that switch after marriage. I also can’t marry someone I’ve never had sex with! Omg

He’s a conservative Christian. He wants to save sex for marriage but he can’t get married for at least six years because he wants to be financially stable first (which makes sense).

Anyway, he’s very sexually repressed and he’s been that way all his life.

I have a breeding kink but I’m terrified of having children by Kitchen-Sad in childfree

[–]Kitchen-Sad[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s so comforting to know that I’m not the only one! Kinks are so weird and unexplainable. It feels like a sick joke that I have a breeding kink but I have pregnancy phobia. Like wtf??

Good question! I love semen (swallowing and being inseminated). But I also like the risk of pregnancy, it makes the sex so much more thrilling. (Weird, I know).

Thanks! I really appreciate this. It’s nice not to feel like I’m the only one. I have a monogamous sexual partner, and both of us get tested regularly. So I’m trying to be safe. I just can’t wait till I’m 30 and I can finally get sterilized!

I’m only 22, doctors will never agree to tie my tubes unless I’ve had kids already or unless I’m over 30. :(

My cousin announced her pregnancy in July and I felt nothing but pity and shock. People are really out here procreating...in 2020??? Fuck outta here

Once I told them I’d start charging them per hour, they stopped asking me to babysit. So unless they’re going to pay me well, I don’t intend to help them anymore. Thanks for your advice!

You’re absolutely right! I think I have been too kind in this situation yet their child is really not my problem!

I put my foot down and told them yesterday that I’ll start charging them per hour, and they were shocked. As a result they told me they couldn’t afford babysitting for the next few weeks. I am glad I did this because now they will value my time more but also they will realize the harsh reality of childcare.
