“By the way: true purity”
True purity.
And right there, my brain is saying that we’re on a trip into fantasy land.
I doubt anyone would qualify as ‘truly pure’ in your mind unless they were raised in a giant Mason jarin someone’s basement.
“goes much further than just the medical definition of a virgin.”
Being a virgin in this day and age isn’t enough for you?
“Purity is a physical condition which includes that definition, but it is also a state or condition of the heart which includes much more than not touching someone romantically.”
Romantically?
Romance isn’t physical. It’s in the head.
I mean, I can touch someone with lust, or with love, or because the airport shuttle braked suddenly, bu I don’t see how ANY of it changes my or her physical purity.
“It includes not allowing yourself to lust after someone,”
I don’t think that’s entirely possible. I mean,i had crushes on TV women before I had any idea what to do about those. Not really a matter of choice.
“give your heart away to someone who is not going to be your husband or wife,”
Been in love a couple dozen times, it’s not a voluntary muscle. And I didn’t always know if they would be my spouse, until they replied.
“not touching people in a romantic way, etc.”
So, you just want a Barbie doll who’s Never Removed From Box, huh? What is the problem? Are you afraid she’ll always carry a candle for a previous boyfriend while on a date with you? That your shortcomings will be compared to Used-To-Boy?
Or are you afraid that loving a woman who’s loved another man makes you gay by proxy?
