Answer 1

CONTROL, absolute and total control through feeling of guilt and shame.  Who is anyone to have anything to say or dictate anything about my life?  Do what thou want....

Answer 2

All you need to do is read The Holy Bible and you can get all the answers that you need. Its not about culture and its not and its not about religion, its about Truth and Fact. However, it is also your personal choice on weather or not you choose to follow the True Word and Fact of matter that has been laid out for all of us to follow, which we don't, and Yes, only in marriage and Yes, she should be a virgin and No, no contraception because God said be fruitful and multiply and YES, Homosexuality is wrong because God said No MAN shall LAY with another MAN and No WOMAN shall LAY with another WOMAN. This is something that no-one can really answer for you, You are going to have to come to terms with yourself in Your Heart of Hearts of what is TRUE, what is FACT and what is RIGHT. Good Luck.  

Answer 3

Most of us these days ignore what the religion says.

Answer 4

Who cares what other people say you should do. Who says they are right? Do what ever floats your boat as long as it is not against the law.
