I have a fear of having sex. It's not a phobia or anything..Hehe...Its my parents.

I lost my virginity when I was 18..With a past boyfriend..And then after a year or so I had another boyfriend and you can figure that I was active with him then.....And my mom found out.

We broke up and I moved away with my parents. I don't hav many friends here ..Its been a year and a half already. Since I been living here i've been spending so much time with my family and they are strict. They're very traditional becaus ethey grew up in the philippines. They are constantly telling me "don't have sex", "don't make a mistake", "smart people make mistakes too, you're smart but all it takes is one mistake and you're life will change", "only married people have sex." "its bad." "don't be like your cousins" (who have kids) and don't be like your friends.. (two of my friends from where I use to live have kids..)

i'm 20 and I have a new boyfriend here. He's been really patient for the past 9 months but he's frustrated and its making things hard on our relationship. I want to get intimate with him but when we start getting in the mood I think of what my parents repeatedly tell me. I think I am going to get pregnant if I do. He's mad that i've had sex w/ my ex's. And that i'm acting like a kid about it..Which is probably because i'm treated like a kid. It really bothers me. I feel like if I have sex im betraying my parents or i'm gonna get caught again..Or have a baby or something!


And its sucks..Im 20!
I need advice...Please leave any..

There is nothing wrong with not having sex now. Even if it is just because of what your parents told you, so what? Your boyfriend is being a health forum. Yes, you had sex with two previous boyfriends, you got in trouble and decided that the consequences weren't worth the action. There is nothing wrong with that, in fact, it is very commendable. If he loves you, he will stay with you and if you get married then you can have sex. Don't do it just because he is trying to guilt you into it. Yes, lots of people have premarital sex now adays, but that doesn't make it right. And it doesn't make it worth the consequences either.
You are doing what is right and he needs to respect you for that. If he doesnt then I hate to say it, but maybe he isn't the one for you. Stay strong.

Hey... I beleive that there is nothing that should let you behave behind your parents back...Sometimes traditions and religion get involved in our life behaviours including sex ...But those rules about not having sex were not there because of nothing....It's because many troubels may be caused because of it...While in my point of you...Your boyfriend should understand that ..And he doesn't have to ask for sex unless you want that..But for sure you have to explain all your reasons...
