Although I grew up in a Christian context, there was very little talk about sexual purity. It simply consisted of the command to remain pure and avoid all sexual acts until marriage. I have never heard a discussion about sex and the damage it can cause if used incorrectly. Therefore, I never truly recognized the importance of sexual purity. Part of my other problem was that I often spent time immersed in worldviews and teachings that don't value sex or purity at all. Because of the influence of the world, sex outside of marriage, casual sexual relationships, and homosexuality did not concern me as much as they should have. It had become so common that my view of sex and purity had changed and I no longer valued these views. However, I still felt uncomfortable when I heard about people who were in relationships and openly acknowledged having had sex with previous partners. To summarize, one of my struggles with this issue is to truly consider and accept God's views and words on sexual purity. I also had to acknowledge the fact that sexual purity and immorality are serious things and is not a light sin
