So, growing up I was in a religious family of Southern Baptists. My parents never purposely kept me sheltered, but I guess the influence of the rest of my family made me think that sex was wrong unless you're married. My first boyfriend really pushed the topic of sex to the point that after a year of dating, he yelled at me until I said yes. He had told me we were going to get married one day anyway so it didn't hurt my religious values. He dumped me two weeks later.
