What does it mean to respect your body when it comes to sex?
People say that those who have casual sex or sleep around aren't respecting themselves. Can someone explain to me? I hear this phrase so often, BUT I can't find anything that explains what respecting your body/sexuality is! I grew up in an environment where it was encouraged to act on your sexual impulses, so it's hard when someone doesn't teach you what "respecting your body" is.
If anyone can explain kindly, I would appreciate it greatly. Does that statement mean that sex is too sacred to be giving it out freely? Why do people get criticized for not respecting themselves when they have casual sex?
Okay, but I also hear people condemn those who have just one casual sex partner as "disrespecting themselves." What if that person is staying with one person, using protection, and taking care of themselves? How is that still disrespect? B/c they're not valuing sex as something special?

respecting your body means not to let just any boy touch you or just let them treat you like a toy that they could just play around with all the time don'tt have sex just because a boy says i love you realize that boys arent as mature as we girls are and to them we are just a game some boys any way i think the answer that you are looking for is dont sleep around with just any guy you meet or every guy just one at least if you feel that you are ready for that you can chat with me and ask me more i truly understand what you are going through

Respecting your body essentially means looking after it and doing what's best for it - keeping it healthy. Filling yourself with as many penises as humanly possible over the years is NOT healthy - you could catch all manner of diseases and that is NOT looking after (respecting) your body. Understand?
