• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

It is all so sexualized.

I wish my parents were more concerned about me. They never warned about this or much of anything, honestly. Can't recall the last heartfelt and informative talk we've had. And my Christian private school never talked of such things.

My first knowledge of sexuality came from tv. I watched hundreds of hours of it unattended, alone, starting at 8 year old.

Of all things I could do if I had one do-over would be to have never watched porn for the first time. It killed me (figuratively). Now I understand what Scripture means by "the wages of sin is death." It doesn't have to stop my heart from beating, but the torment of my sinful past is like a looming death over me.

Now at 22, I have to watch CDC videos about sexual diseases and safe sex which are made for teenagers. I got tested recently. The results came back negative, but the health department was shocked by my lack of knowledge. (Shocking given the thousands of hours I waisted watching sexual content.)

I am really disappointed in myself.

I'm 22 too. Honestly we're living in a new technology/information age. A different generation. I don't think our parents realized the impact media would have on our young minds. I too question my parent's parenting skills, but I have compassion for them because they simply did not know what they were doing. One day, if I decide to have children in this evil world, I'll do things way differently.

I've watched porn in the past as well and I'm not proud of it. But I know because of God's grace He has forgiven me, because I've turned my back on it and you can too. Don't let the devil beat you up about past sins. God's arms are open and ready to receive you sis.

Yes , absolutely agree what you mentioned up there. Everything is evil and sexualized in 21th century. Wage of sin is death as you mentioned from the bible, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord! (Romans 6:23), So please be encouraged and remember that life is constantly struggle and fight against sin.
