We often have quite a few users who are currently in, and have often grown up with, fears or misinformation about sex or pregnancy based in religious beliefs.
Those can be pretty tough to deal with, since accurate, sound -- and secular -- information usually only gets you so far. When you have gotten the idea that some higher being is in charge of all this, and is doling out things like punishments for sex, it can be pretty hard to ditch those beliefs and feelings, especially if they've been a part of your life all your life.
So, here's a space where you can ask for help and support with this, and hopefully also support each other, given how many of you are struggling with this.
