I'm just going to throw my church's explanation out there tho. It's because the act of creating a child is something to be considered sacred. If there's something not to be messed with, its the beginning of life. It's why us LDS disapprove of premarital sex or homosexuality or gay couples adopting.
Its not something my family has talked about at all, other than what I've already said. I learned everything else about the subject from the internet. Not that it's a good thing, I'm a recovering porn addict thanks to the 'net. And it's been rough
This explains all of it pretty explicitly,but there's more if you dig around on the site.
And yes, there's nothing wrong with being attracted to the same sex, buuuut sexuality outside marriage is VERY wrong according to our doctor doctrine, and so is marrying the same sex since marriage and family structure are so important and we really dislike the idea of perverting the concept of the family itself. Nothing wrong with non-sexual homoromantic situations I guess but... if we're being honest, if the other guy was interested in that too, it'd be pretty hard for me to keep my shorts on.
I think it's nice that you consider sex to be special, but.. I think once you have sex, you realise it's not that special. sex itself, i mean. sex is just sex, and, now don't be a kid, sex isn't just to make babies. even the sims have two options, sex and make babies.
saying sex is the act of creating a child is way too old fashioned. i respect you believing whatever you want to believe, and if you wanna wait, wait.
But once you start having sex, and liking it, what? you'll have sex and get pregnant 20 times because it's the will of God? Hope not. you'll probably feel like having sex sometimes withotu being like, damn, ima be pregnant again. so, that's how other people feel ,such as gay people, or people like me who im a normal girl who has a boyfriend for quite a long time now and enjoys sex and is not planning on having a baby JUST YET.
Sorry if I sounded kinda immature. Honestly I've got a bit of a problem. I believe I mentioned being a porn addict... I used to watch and fap almost every night. And even though I've been without porn for nearly 2 months thanks to help from my parents (now I'm forced to do internet only thru public wifi, no more at home ), I still can hardly last a week without masturbation. I mean, yeah I'm sure that having some sex drive is normal, but I'm also concerned that I'm still used to doing it too often. So I'm trying to quit altogether, trying to essentially get back to default settings and forget what attractions I have because of porn and basically rediscover normalcy.
And yeah, I'm also afraid that even if I find a girlfriend who's accepting of my faults, I'll be asking if she wants to do it far more often than she's comfortable with, for fun or otherwise. I dunno. I'm not ready to think about the future. I'm still figuring out other aspects of adulting.
I don't think you have to worry! It will be fine! There is surely a girl out there who wants more sex than you can even imagine!
I have a boyfriend whom I see nearly everyday, so I don't really ever watch porn or masturbate on my own, just because I much rather be in bed with him. So I can't really help. But it will be alright <3
IIN to want physical contact but not necessarily sex?

I can understand that.

Sex is special. That is true
Gay couples are normal and not weird or "sinful"
I am also LDS.
