Hey April, so heres my problem. At a very young age I became sexualized. In an innocent way of course, just seeing the weird way my body worked. But ever since then as I got older I got more sexual. The weird part is I think about me having sex all the time, and I know the facts about sex, and I experiment with my body. But strangely I would never think of losing my virginity before marriage. Its something I feel the need to always keep and protect. But am I strange for being so overly sexualized? I turned 15 in July, and I feel dirty for knowing and doing what I’ve known and did for years.

It sounds like you’re normal. You’re at an age when your body is building hormones that make you feel sexual and can lead to sexual experimentation (alone or with someone) and sexual thoughts. Your private behavior is your own business. Your wanting to save virginity for marriage is fine and doesn’t really contradict your feeling privately sexual.

Relax. You’re a teenager. It’s a bumpy road and everything you’re doing and feeling is one hundred percent okay! 🙂
