Boyfriend keeps pressuring me for sex

October 01, 2021

Dear Pastor,

Please for your fatherly advice. I am 21 years old and I have a boyfriend. I love him very much, but I have never had sex. He has been asking me to have sex with him, but I am a Christian and I told him that I do not want to fornicate so he will have to wait until we are married. I am not planning to get married until after I have graduated from college and that will be in three years' time. He said that he loves me so much and he does not think that he can wait so long to have sex. One day he hugged me and I realised that he was crying. I asked him why he was crying and he said that his penis was in pain. I am afraid to even hug him again. I am afraid to even allow him to hug me again because I am not going to do the things that he wants me to do. I grew up in the church. My mother is a missionary and my father is an elder. They taught me to keep my virginity for my husband and that is what I intend to do. What do you say?

Dear Writer,

You have your standard and the young man who says that he loves you should accept your position. It might be difficult for him indeed, but he should not try to pressure you to have sex with him. It is better for you to end this relationship with him if he continues to pressure you. Don't put yourself in a situation where he will force you to do what you do not want to do. I wish you well.
