    I'm not a woman of faith, but I think your videos are so relatable, regardless. I've recommended your videos to so many of my friends, mostly young women, some who are Christian and some who aren't. You're spreading such a positive message and you seem very open minded. You offer a refreshing perspective on love, marriage and relationships in an age of hook-ups and 'friends with benefits' culture. Nice to be reminded that we're not just being "boring" by sticking with what is right for us. Thank you for your videos!

    As a German, raised with a completely different sexual education (in school, society, etc) I wish there would have been a hint of the things you explain in your videos. We have been tought that we can have sex whenever we are ready for, when it's mutual with our partner. That we can do whatever we want as long as we keep it "safe". I wish there would have been someone like you telling us that it's special and should be shared with someone special. I love your videos so much and I have been rethinking a lot of my beliefs since I watch them. Thank you so much! ❤

    As I mentioned in this video, some of you may have been the victims of abuse in your life. If that is the case - often reading, praying, and talking to others isn't enough to help you heal from the trauma you have experienced. I strongly encourage you to talk to someone and seek professional help or counseling to help you in your journey of healing. You didn't deserve what happened to you - and you deserve FREEDOM in your life. You are loved.

    I'm a Theology major at Ave Maria University and last semester I took TOB. We read the entirety of JPII's teaching of Theology of the Body in "Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body". It was the most beautiful thing I have ever read and by the end I wished I could just keep taking the class over and over because it is so rich and packed with so much goodness!!

    You have been HUGE in me reuniting with God and committing to Him. I was raised protestant in a pretty relaxed church and I am now hoping to convert to catholicism and commit myself along with my boyfriend to stay abstinent until we are married. Thank you so much!! Your videos always make my days and make me more excited about God.

    @morgansimpson3844 5 років тому +17

    I read “sex, Jesus, and the conversation the church forgot” it’s a great book. She is so open with her struggles, and really gets the point out there that sec is not bad, but is good and a form of worship. 10/10 recommend.

    @n.fer.2596 5 років тому +22

    At 6:45 ... you got it right. Nail on the head. Your kindness when you said that you’re sorry is so genuine and such a point of love that I audibly said thank you. ❤️ You came from a place of love, and THAT is the way you speak to us survivors. I’m not even religious, but your message is beautiful. Thank you.

    As a therapist, I see many JCLDS patients. Many express anxiety about their wedding nite. I will guide them to your video as your youth and experience more closely matches there’s. Thank you by the way. I tell people all the time, you never know where help may come from, in this case, you may never know the people whose lives you touched so, don’t stop because of a lack of thank you’s.
    Gratitude will find its way to you.

  • @Katie-iv2lg
    @Katie-iv2lg 5 років тому +166

    Emily, I am convinced that this video was brought to me through Divine Providence. My parents recently talked to me about sex after I read some disturbing things about it online. I found out about sex on the internet because whenever I asked anyone about it, I was always told that I was too young to know. That angered me so I went online to figure out this mystery myself. Well, one thing lead to another and this started a horrible period in my life where I kept reading immodest books. Thanks to the guidance of a wonderful priest, I was able to overcome this vice. But because of the huge secrecy surrounding this topic, I conditioned myself to believe it was bad. I even thought it was bad in the marital state.
    But lately, I've been working on changing that thought pattern and thanks to your video, I'm finding it a little easier to think of sex as something good. 😊Thank you so much, Emily!

    I’m almost done reading Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot. SO good and inspiring. Mo Isom is so bold in her testimony and her journey. A good reminder that redemption is available to anyone no matter their past mistakes or abuse.

  • @callieandfriends9933
    @callieandfriends9933 5 років тому +11

    I came across part one of this video and loved it, so I just watched this second part. Coming from a 16 year old girl who has grown up a Christian and had a strong faith this is a topic that truly needs to be talked about and understood. It is incredibly helpful to hear from someone who saved themselves for marriage that it was so worth it and that you have no regrets about it. I've always grown up with the mind set that I will save myself for marriage and that sex outside of marriage is bad. Now I have reached the climax point in my life where I am facing the battle and beginning to question my original thoughts. This was very reassuring to me though. It reminded me why I believe what I do, so thank you so so so much!

  • @emilykeiter3523
    @emilykeiter3523 5 років тому +36

    You always know what to say and how to say it in a way that is easy to understand! Through middle school and high school, we were taught not to have sex because there are dangers of contracting a disease-which makes it seem as if they are saying sex is bad. Thank you for this! I'd love to see more videos on this topic! 😊💜

  • @sshuteandrew
    @sshuteandrew 5 років тому +7

    I was raised in a strict Christian home and all I heard about sex from my mom was not to do it. On my wedding night I had a lot of anxiety and found out later I had vaginismus. It took me 4 years to be able to relax my mind and body enough to enjoy sex. It was a difficult journey and if anyone is struggling with the same, I want you to know recovery is possible.

  • @rebeccadurden4281
    @rebeccadurden4281 5 років тому +106

    This was such an AMAZING video! I seriously LOVE your content! My first experience with sex was at 5 years old unfortunately, and then another traumatic experience at 13. Thank God for his love and for rescuing me from the aftermath of that. But I learned a lot from this video and it truly opened my eyes to some things as well as calmed some fears. You are a blessing! 💜

      @dawnforlife 5 років тому +7

      Hey girls, she has a video on "How do you know he is the own", which I really agree and relate to. Same experience with "discovering" my husband. If you are Christian/Catholic, it really helps to find someone who shared the same values and faith as you. Always stronger with God in the middle, and from my personal experience, when it's true, you wouldn't ask that question. You would just want to know if that's the path God really wants you to take :)

  • @ferburgoa140
    @ferburgoa140 5 років тому +21

    I’m a 40 year old woman with 6 kids, 13 to 1. As a practicing Catholic I truly believe in everything you said but I would add that the responsability and right we have as parents is to teach our children about a healthy sexuality since they are born. First through example and then using the right books and material. Doing it through the eyes of absolute and perfect love (God’s love) is the only way the future generations will look at marital sex as the right and wholesome way to be truly happy. I pray every day so that my husband and I can educate our children as God intended it!

    • @emwilss
      @emwilss  5 років тому +2

      And I totally agree that this is the parents responsibility - but it is a tragic fact that most parents seem too unwilling, embarrassed, or shy to take up that important task!

      @ferburgoa140 5 років тому +1

      Fer, may I know if you could give an example of some materials you've used and also examples of how you would teach them since they are born? Would love to know more, though I don't have kids at the moment :)

    I'm so glad I happened upon you and this topic! Yes! It does need to be talked about more. I grew up in a conservative Christian family and sex has always been a hush hush thing that was bad. I know that I have a skewed and messed up version of it in my head, and would like to correct that before I get married someday. I'm 27 and struggle with my singleness, and your videos help me. Thank you!

    This one was another great one. They are all wonderful, of course, but this one was great in that it is helpful to women and girls of several different ages, I think. And you are so approachable and easy to understand in all of your videos that it's great to have you to cover the topics that get overlooked. Thanks, Emily! And I'm looking forward to your baby boy coming into the world!

  • @emmauecker123
    @emmauecker123 5 років тому +1

    This is the sex talk i never got.... i SO appreciate this!!! I was raised with the underlying understanding that the topic of sex is a taboo thing that you don't talk about, think about, nothing. And then in 9th grade health class we went through a section on sex....kind of... it was ALL ABOUT STD's and nothing else...and it included a slideshow of graphic images. That was the explanation I got about it growing up. And now that I'm engaged, I've been really working hard to rewire my brain and there has been some progress made, but theres still a lot for me to work on. I started that third book you talked about and so far its super good!

    I am 18 and about six months ago when I decided along with my boyfriend that we would save ourselves for marriage, I read the book Sex, Jesus, and conversations the church forgot and I loved it! It is so encouraging and helpful to be able to look at sex in a God centered way! It is also a nondenominational Christian book so any Christian can learn loads from it!

  • @emmaletitia1576
    @emmaletitia1576 5 років тому +1

    As someone who is in a long term, loving relationship that didn’t save sex for marriage, I think this video is amazing! It’s beautifully explained and empowering. Sex is so special, and it’s something most girls are taught is “bad” so they either rebel or they become scared. This was really refreshing ❤️

    I have always attended catholic schools and have been christened and done my holy communion but have never taken to strictly following the catholic faith .
    I’m really glad that I have stumbled across you’re videos as they have a a lot of important messages to woman, even if they don’t follow a faith as learning to love yourself and knowing yourself is an important part of being a strong woman. I totally agree with sex being an important part of any relationship even as husband and wife and that it aids in communication and intimacy that is needed to work through hard times as a couple.
    I hope that when I get married in the future that I am to take onboard the wonderful advice that you give and have a happy and understand marriage that you and Daniel have together.
    I wish you all the best with the birth of your baby boy and lots of love from the UK ❤️

    @eugeniyah8078 5 років тому +16

    Thank you for this message Emily! We need to talk more about topics that are awkward and uncomfortable to talk about that so many believers shy away from. If we shine a light on and get some good insight into what The Creator thinks about sex and its purpose, then the devil will lose his power of deceiving us into thinking that our Heavenly Father hates sex. That way we'll be better prepared for marriage and *everything else that comes with it.*

I don’t think it’s Catholic but still a good, easy to understand message about the value in waiting, and the struggles that we face to do so, especially in this day and age! Love this video too!!💖💖

    Very interesting and useful video (you discussed the topic so well!) just like all your videos are! I discovered your UA-cam channel quite recently and I fell in love with it immediately. I must say I really needed an influence like yours in my life: you are always positive and joyful, just like we all Catholics should be! Thank you for everything you do!
    Love from Italy :)

    Just wanted to drop my first comment to one of your videos about Agreeing With You When I Don't Believe In God. I am a subscriber and I love watching your videos and listening to your views on life. And it might seem surprising, but I share the majority of your opinions. I do not believe in god and religion plays no role in my life and actions. But I love your insights and see many things the same way you do. Values and opinions often transcend the bounderies of (religious) groups in my experience.

    Holy moly I loved this!!! You hit so much truth and expanded on the taboo side of sex. I am waiting for marriage.. these videos you've posted have given me so much confidence, marriage is a ministry and it's a covenant and we serve a covenant God!! Its a everlasting commitment

    Recommended reads, in case you didn't catch it:
    1. Theology of the body explained
    2. Good news about sex and marriage
    3. Sex, Jesus and the conversations the church forgot
    Thanks for the recommendation and thank you for sharing! I'm married since last October and although we are very attracted to each other in every way, I feel there may be a deep seated guilt in us that is stopping us from experiencing the beauty of sex fully (We are both Catholics). Will definitely look into these books.
    To unmarried couples, my advice is - do not stay together until you are married. I stayed together because we had to do our civil marriage in Switzerland and I am from Malaysia. The fact that we maintained chastity while staying together before church marriage, although it was just a couple of months after civil wedding didn't help with the flow of things. Any desires we had were pushed aside and it seems that we have been "trained" to suppress them. Emily, if you manage to read this and have any thoughts on it at all, I'd love and appreciate to hear from you. :)

    Thank you for making this video!! I wish my mom could have seen this video when I was younger. I had absolutely no idea what sex was except that is was bad and sinful. My mom taught me nothing about it on purpose.
    When I was 22 I had to look it up online to figure out what it was as I was dating for the first time, (my now husband) and he didn’t want to be the one to educate me on everything sexual including my own anatomy.
    From my wedding night forward I had a difficult time flipping the switch to believing sex was good and glorifying God. I felt dirty and sluty for enjoying sex and getting into it or initiating.
    Things have gotten much better with time. I will definitely teach my daughters differently.

    I am in no way religious, but I enjoy your videos because they are a respectful way to see other opinions. I do not believe sex should only be between married people, but I do think it is a very romantic and intimate thing shared between people. I respect people who wait until marriage, but I don't see it as a bad thing if you don't. This is just my opinion. But I'm glad that you are a sex-positve person of faith, because there are very few others like you. Religious people need more people like you to teach them that sex is not wrong.

    I was lucky. I was brought up to understand that sex is beautiful but only within a marriage. I made my mistakes. But I learned that only with a marriage and with someone who truly loves me. I am now Catholic and want to honor God. As a Christian I want to honor him too.

    My husband and I will be teaching our children about sex and sexuality soon. Maybe in the next year or so with our son who is 8. I’m going to have my hubby watch this. Such a great way to solidify what sex is and how to stay on the same page throughout the conversations.

    If you are a woman struggling with seeing sex as good, I suggest “The Good Girl’s Guide to Great Sex” by Sheila Wray Gregoire. I’m getting married soon and have been trying to “rewire my brain” before my wedding night, and this book is helping a lot.

  • @sarahtohill3787
    @sarahtohill3787 5 років тому +10

    YES!!! Thank you Emily for making this. This came at such a good time for me. I just recently got engaged so now I'm coming face to face with fears and misconceptions about sex I didn't fully realize I had. It's sad that even though I'm Catholic and I have all the intellectual knowledge about how great sex is, underneath I still have the idea that it's dirty.

    • @sarahtohill3787
      @sarahtohill3787 5 років тому

      And now about 3 hours later, I have read the book Sex, Jesus, and the Conversation the Church forgot. So. So. Good. I totally didn't mean to read the whole thing in one sitting, but there was a lot of healing there.

    • @dawnforlife
      @dawnforlife 5 років тому

      Wow. I thanks for sharing, I'll get that book soon. I've been married for close to a year now and like you, though we have all that knowledge that sex is great and even I do know that it is meant to be beautiful in marriage, there is something planted in us (both Catholics) that I feel may be an obstacle for us to experience its beauty to the fullest. Congrats on your engagement, will keep you in prayer, Sarah!

    I thank you for this message because it is definitely renewing my mind about sex. From being active to saving myself for my husband there aren’t many I know doing it so me coming from bad experiences to say no it’s good , it becomes hard to believe but when you break down the fact that God mad it , I can be free in that & know I don’t have to hide anything from my husband pertaining it ! Thank you so much God bless you & your ministry & family !
