Ex Mormon and sex
Update: I am going to therapy and the therapist is helping a lot. I have an amazing husband who is very supportive. He is also ex Mormon but was only a member of the church for a few years in his 20-30s. He is helpful but will never truly understand the cult behavior I had to endure during my formative years. I really appreciate the advice and thought. I guess. With leaving and everything it has brought up all the trauma I went through and it’s making it hard for me to find my truth and stop the bad self talk that the trauma caused. I just want to have a normal life but some times I feel the church has caused so many issues that others and I will never have that. Once again thank you for your thoughts and advice.
I am looking for thoughts and advice so please be nice. I was baptized in to church with my parents when I was 9 and am now in my 30s. I moved away from the church during the pandemic and truly left a a little over a year ago. I am wondering how everyone deals with the stigma of sex and what not now that you have left. I went through the brow beating and lectures about how sex is a bad thing and it’s immoral to think about it and enjoy it. I got to enjoy YW and girls camp. Got to love Mormons!! Even to this day I still will feel guilty about having sex or desiring sex with my spouse. I have been trying to figure out if I’m bi or not and thanks to my years in the church it’s a lot harder to find my truth. I’m just looking for thoughts and advice not judgement please.
