There are probably several
reasons why this happens.
If
He Asks for Sex Early, then He Doesn't Care about Your Welfare
First and foremost, if
he is asking for or expecting sex early in a relationship, it is
clear that he is simply interested in fulfilling his own pleasure
and not in your welfare or feelings.
He has invested very
little in the relationship and has not made a commitment. If that's
the case, then of course he would have no problem dumping you when
he no longer has a use for you or is ready to move onto the next
exploit. (By the way, women are also guilty of this!)
Men
Don't Respect Easy Women
Secondly, most guys really
don't respect women who are "easy," even though they (the guys)
initiate sex.
Only a man who will respect
a woman enough to deny his physical desires and take things slowly
is really worth having. He realizes, as the old adage says, "Good
things come to those who wait." To abstain from sex means sacrificing
his desires in order to honor and respect you and to treat your
body with dignity. An honorable man like this is looking for the
same kind of woman in return; one who respects him, and HERSELF.
To best illustrate what
I am trying to say, let me quote from Elisabeth Elliott's book "Passion
and Purity." Speaking of abstinence, she says:
It can be a relief
when she says no... because he finds mystery in her, and mystery
is both surprise and delight. Keep your distance, I say to women.
Recognize that fundamental anomaly of human nature, that we prize
what we cannot easily get. We take for granted, we even come to
despise that which costs us no effort. The bicycle given for Christmas
will not be prized like the bicycle bought with the money earned
by delivering newspapers for two or three years.
...If there is one
reason why sex becomes dull and a bore, it is that it is commonplace.
It's available anywhere, everywhere, to everybody who is looking
for it. Nothing is kept in reserve. No pleasures are saved for
the wedding night, let alone for the bride and bridegroom exclusively.
I'm not really quite a sentimental woman. Some of my reserve has
nothing to do with militant morality, or even Christian principle,
but with the very real pleasure of saving things up. (Page 145-6)
You
are Playing with Fire
I believe this is one
of the reasons why God tells us not to have sex before marriage
-- there is always a possibility of getting dumped and hurt. And
it doesn't matter if you agree with God or not, it's still true.
You are playing with fire, and you will get burned. Whether by disease,
by a painful loss of self respect, a bad reputation, or the intense
pain of a ruined relationship -- whatever the form, it will come
back to bite you.
If
a Guy Can't Commit, He Shouldn't be Intimate
If a guy doesn't have
the decency to commit to you, he shouldn't have the privilege of
being intimate with you - a privilege that was created by God to
be enjoyed within the confines of marriage. God loves us and only
wants what's best for us, so He created sex and physical intimacy
as the ultimate (and safe) experience within the context of a committed
marriage.
So, instead of wasting
any more time and heartache being a victim of this game, stand up
for yourself and do what's right. Respect yourself and your body!
Set firm standards for what you will tolerate and how you will be
treated. And most importantly, wait until you get married to give
yourself to your husband.
