actually, i'm a little curious if YOU read it. : )
beth, welcome to the forum. it's great to see new faces.
also, what you wrote was a little confusing for me. can you please clarify how it is that the man you're dating "takes you sexually" in a manner that makes you feel respected and cared for? and,especially as a christian woman? because i'm not sure i'd feel terribly loved or respected by a boyfriend who was okay with having sex with me before we were married.
perhaps i'm misunderstanding what being "taken sexually" means. because, where i'm from, it doesn't mean he takes you to a square dance. : ) maybe you mean something else by that phrase.
anyway, i'd be grateful if you'd clarify yourself.
