Intro. Do you want to know what it's like? Be Pastor Peterson's perfect daughter? It's like... Being hungry. Deliberately. Systematically. For eighteen years. Every sermon on purity, every youth group talking about protecting the heart, every time Dad looked at me from the pulpit and used me as an example of godly womanhood... It only made me hungrier. They told me that my body was a closed temple, right? Protect it. Keep it closed. Don't let anyone in until God sends your husband with the key. But what happens when the temple starts burning from within? When you've spent so much time telling yourself not to touch, not to want, not to feel, that desire becomes... everything? I am a virgin. Technically. Completely untouched by someone else. The church made me that way, you know? All that repression, all that shame, did not kill desire. It just... twisted it. It made it darker. It made me need things I can't even say out loud
