Dear Ms. Clark,
I have to strongly disagree with most of the views presented in the video. The strongest disagreement I have is with the “having sex like a man” statement (which, I suppose means having casual sex without a relationship). I am a man, and I am not going to have sex until I am married. Sex is sacred to me, given by my God for intimacy, LOVE, and pleasure (yes, pleasure; God created sex to be pleasurable).
Honestly, I do not see what is a person’s thrill in sleeping with someone they are not married to. What is your goal in doing so? What is your point in doing so?
But, back to the subject, I am not being disrespectful in the least, although I strongly disagree with the views presented in most of the videos. I do not judge, as that is not up to me (I am commanded by Jesus Christ in Matthew 7:1-2 to “judge not, that you not be judged. for with what measure you judge, you will be judged”.). However, I do take a stand for Biblical sexual values. That’s the least I can do to honor my God who created sex in the first place.
Thank you for hearing me out.
Sincerely and respectfully,
-Cory H., 18 years old
Ummm… Cory H, by coming here and posting that response and bringing up your religion you ARE judging. It is inherent when looking through a faith-tainted lens. Your religious texts tell you that what you are reading are “TRUTHS” for all of humanity, rather than ONE perspective that humanity can choose to believe or not. That’s the problem.
But the funny part is that I don’t wholly disagree with you. I wanted to say that Katie’s viewpoint was the one I agreed with most, and it was personally very refreshing to hear. I do acknowledge the horrible double standard between men and women regarding casual sex, but I think that the better cure for that double standard is to try and change society’s viewpoint that sleeping around is okay for men to do. Put simply, instead of us women trying to act like them to level the playing field, more work should be done to get them to act like us.
Dear Dingy,
I was most certainly not judging at all. I was simply stating what the Bible states. Judging, to me at least, is condemnation. I was not condemning the women at all (though, I do condemn the acts stated in the video). As a Christian, I have no right to judge anyone after all the things I have done wrong, and all the times God has forgiven me. I try to shine that love and forgiveness to others.
Anyway, yes, Katie had the best viewpoint in the video, and I, like you, thought it was refreshing to hear. And you are completely right about how we, as a society, need to change the “sleeping around” viewpoint (to say it is completely wrong, not that men and women should be “equal” in the “playing field”).
Sincerely and respectfully,
-C.H.
Hey C.H and Dingy
I appreciate both your views and thank you for taking the time to post your opinions,..afterall that is what this show is for! What I must do though is state the other other side of things…I do understand where you are coming from but once again those are your opinions…not all women think the same way you both do nor do they all think the same way some of us on the show may but that is the whole point of the show…to demonstrate different views and perspectives…we all appreciate Katie and Sabrina’s views in the episode, the rest of us are just demonstrating how many other women feel about casual sex. While we all agree that sex is special and an intimate act, there’s no denying that, sometimes some women want to act on their primal urges (yes we do have them too) every so often and not be judged for it.
Thank you again so much for both your posts…I encourage more posts…I love hearing what other people are thinking about the subjects we cover
peace

Ms. Clark,
Thanks for taking the time to address both Dingy and mine posts!
I can see where you come from about the “primal urges” (though I disagree somewhat with the terming of it, the primal part, I mean). As a man, I am tempted constantly, but as per my faith, God wants me to have SELF CONTROL, or, in other words, to tame these urges (self control is one of the “fruits of the Holy Spirit” listed by Paul in Galatians 5:23). We who are believers are called to live a life of temperance and self control (with some help from Christ, of course). This is yet another reason I do not judge anyone (though I do judge the sins themselves). I constantly need God’s help to fight temptation, so I have no right to judge others (on the judging issue, I turn to Romans 8:34- “Who is the one who condemns? Christ is the One who died, rather is risen, who is at the right hand of God, Who MAKES INTERCESSION FOR US”). I praise God that Christ is there to help me fight temptation, and to forgive me if I ever do fall!
Again, thank you for responding to our messages. God be with you and the other women on the show.
Sincerely and respectfully,
CJ
Hey CJ
I understand where you are coming from but once again this is just your opinion based on the religion you believe in…I on the other hand don’t believe in what you do so our views are quite different. But that is the beauty of the show…that there are different girls on there who represent different views, so if you don’t agree with me, chances are you agree with someone on the show…like how you identify the most with katie (as i am sure many others do as well) so I guess the moral of the story is that the show has accomplished exactly what I hoped it would…create discussion about the different topics we cover and get a chance to hear what others around our age think and feel! so thank you for taking the time to post on the site…keep it coming!!

I believe in sexual liberty as long as everybody is willing to accept any consequences like an adult =)
I agree with you Emily!
good to hear from a girl on this topic!
i didn’t think we were the only ones out there haha!!
I have a problem with the phrase ’sex like a man.’ To me it sounds like all men are dishonest, heartless users. Couldn’t you just say No Strings Attached (NSA)?
Although I’ve never done it, I have no problem with casual sex among consenting adults. To me it’s not a moral issue. It only becomes a moral issue when people lie and use one another under false pretenses. In that case, it’s not the sex that’s dirty, it’s the dishonesty.
Of course, with all that freedom comes a lot of responsibility. Sex can kill you nowadays. In that sense, it can never be casual.
