[sexual communication] Me (18M) and my girlfriend (19F) are waiting until marriage to have sex: however, she's recently told us she's uncomfortable with how sexual we are. Advice please.

I grew up mormon. just to give some perspective, mormons take this do the extreme. most are told not to even passionate kiss until marriage.

I've always been a sexual person. A lot more than my mormon peers. But when my first non-mormon boyfriend finger-fucked me for the first time (I was almost 20, mind you) I burst into tears. I almost broke up with him that day. He felt terrible. I felt terrible. We have grown a lot more together since then, but that day still happened.

And that is what religious culture can do to a girl.

They are taught to feel guilty for something that is good and natural. They grew up being taught that sex as something bad, until you get married, but by then the psychological damage is done.

I know one married couple with a healthy sex life. they just got married.

I have many more married friends (especially over a period of time) where the man is left brutally unsatisfied. The girls tell me its because they see sex to be a chore. its messy. its unsatisfying for them. one refuses to give her man head because its "gross."

They still see sex as something gross!

It's your call, man. But from what i've seen, and what i've experienced, and what i've read from your thread, (her attitude getting worse after experience better), you might need to let this one go.
