What kind of schools used these? Not Catholic, right? Christian private schools? Just wondering, I didn't realize they were used during classes and thought it was mostly through church bible studies and church groups.
I went to all-girls Catholic school, so we were definitely heavy into purity culture.
I did too, and mine wasn’t. We learned how to put on condoms in our biology class. We were taught that we should aim to wait for marriage, but they understood that’s not something many of us were willing to wait for, so if we were going to be having sex, it should be safe sex.
It was an Independent Catholic school though, not run by the Archdiocese.
all I feel is fury ... I have so many issues surrounding my childhood and the purity culture I grew up in. I still view my body as something sinful. I still have sexual hangups. For a long time, I had to be drunk to feel like I could have sex. I'm sober now, and enjoying intimacy with my husband is supposed to be this beautiful, wonderful thing - and all I can think about is how sinful my body is.
I'm breaking out in hives right now...I am incoherent with emotion.
