Is it normal to be horny a lot?

I'm an Orthodox Jew, and though I love my faith, I am angry I barely received sex education. I'm a teenage girl and am aroused a lot - is it normal?

    Penis gets hard, goes in the vagina, squirts cum, boom you're pregnant. Now you know, any questions?

      Several. How does penis get hard? Can a vagina get hard? Where/when does the butt come into play?

      • The penis gets hard when a male gets aroused and/or is stimulated via touch. I don't think the vagina can get hard, but the clitoris can.

        Sometimes the butt doesn't come into play at all. Butt if it does, (pun intended) common practices are to insert anal toys (butt plugs, beads, etc), fingers, or the penis.

        Anyway, this is the world wide web and there are many better places to learn about this kind of thing than IIN. Even Wikipedia's page is pretty detailed and has many links for terms that may be unfamiliar to you.

    Good Lord. Im definitely going to burn in hell. I've been sexual since 11 or 12

  • Are you people kidding me? You are talking to a teenager! One who's admitted she knows next to nothing about sex.

    OP, educate yourself about sex BEFORE you have it. Don't just abandon everything you know and jump into something before learning about it, and don't do something unless you're absolutely sure you want to.

    I was in the exact same position. I was religious and as a result, in the dark about sex. I dumped my faith entirely because of how anti-sex the bible is and how being horny was ruining my life. I am certain that the bible got sex wrong and their ideas of morality are very wrong. Dump your faith and have sex, once you have it you will be mad at yourself because of what you were missing all that time.

    The other option is to keep your faith and burn with horniness because you are needlessly depriving yourself from a fundamental human desire.

      I feel like I can keep my faith, and by doing so change attitudes about sex in the community.

        How so? I don't know exactly what being an orthodox jew entails, but if the give a shit about the bible they cannot be very pro-sexual freedom.

        Or do you mean everyone will think "oh hey this orthodox Jew must be onto something. How about me and all my friends and family just switch to his religion?"

        Listen buddy, people's "attitude" about sex, and particularly the persistent desire to have it, can be shaped very little. You can't convince masses of people to wait until marriage because some guy in the sky says so. Ask some kids who have been molested by priests if they think thats a good idea. Humans needlessly deprived of sex do very, very bad things.

    If you're asking for honest information, look somewhere else. If you’re asking if it’s normal to know little about sex, yes it is unfortunately normal.

      You must be joking: porn would be the least realistic place to learn about real sex

    One word. Hormones. You're gonna have them for the rest of your life, so it's important to get used to them.

    You are totally normal. This happens to most of us as well. Masturbate as often as you can.

    I didn't have sex ed either, I ended up googling everything out of curiosity and I didn't do any of that kind of stuff until I was 16 so after 3 years of googling questions I had in my head about std's and googling words I found on the internet that I didn't understand yet, I turned out just fine.

    Fundamentalist religions have always been run by old men whose main interest is controlling people and who are jealous of young people.

    Your feelings are completely normal, and your anger about how your religion refuses to acknowledge that sexual urges are natural is understandable. However, that anger is not healthy or helpful. Clearly you have access to the internet, and so it should be very easy for you to find accurate information about sex, your body and what's going on in your head at the moment.

    Fundamentalist religions can have two contrary effects on how those raised in them view sex. On the one hand, being raised in a sex-negative culture can make it impossible for women in particular to enjoy sex. In extreme cases, it can result in something called vaginismus, which is where the muscles around the vagina clamp shut and make penetrative sex very uncomfortable or even impossible. However, being raised in a culture where sex is a huge taboo and never discussed can also make it highly alluring. I know from experience that the hell-fire preacher who has a son or daughter who's very promiscuous is not limited to lurid fiction.

    Personally, I'm convinced that all versions of the Great Sky Fairy are total BS. But if you prefer to believe in JHVH and you've been taught that He doesn't want you to have sexual urges or think sexual thoughts, then you clearly have some work to do in resolving this conflict.

      The solution to all this self-deprecating religiously induced shame and sickness? Nudism. It will heal your soul fast and it's all non-sexual. Your sense of body acceptance will skyrocket. I'm a nudist. Our nude volleyball team could use a spirited young woman like the OP to lift our spirits and inspire us to victory.

      So Booj. Why don't you come down to our nude beach next time you're on the Atlantic's western shore? I always have a cooler of cold Heineken at the ready.

      "I'm convinced that all versions of the Great Sky Fairy are total BS."

      Given that we have zero evidence either way, and the vastness and complexity of the universe, that's and increadibly arrogant thing to say Booj.

      I can respect agnostics because I have been one, but to be convinced in any direction is just silly imho. We have no answers and we don't even have any valid theories for what we are, where we are or why we are here.

    Masturbation is fun. You should try it just to know what you like.

      Well god also considers Premarital sex to be a sin, so just make sure you sign your whole life away to someone before you have any sex at all. Thats kind of an important caveat.

        Do you have a chapter and verse where it states premarital sex is a sin?

          Here is a bunch for ya. Some of the terminology is a little confusing but understand that the term 'sexual immorality' includes any sex outside of a one man one woman relationship.

            According to whom? Typically when a statement follows qualifiers such as marriage that's what the statements refer too.

            I don't know. As a promiscuous bisexual female I have a hard time believing God created me just to damn me to hell. I really dont think he cares. Immoral is more about your word. IE. Marrying someone and then being adulterous. Being a lying sack of shit.

            Thanks for the link. More will be revealed I guess.

          And how is that relavant? Ate you saying OP should have lots of sex directly against the will of their god and just confess it each time? That shows a serious lack of respect for their god. If they believe god is who he says he is, they will do what he says.
