Are there any Christians here trapped in sexual sins?

Question

This question is open to those of other faiths too.

I am a Christian that believes in the bible. I have more than 1 partner and am sexually active. I do watch porn occasionally. I also partake un self gratification, a lot. I am lustful too, and at times feel guilty.

How many out here can relate? How many here go against you're convictions constantly?

I was raised Roman Catholic. While I respect religions, I choose to follow my own path that I believe god gave me the right to do and is happy with my decision. I believe there is a difference and therefore separation between what God wants from us, and what the church scares, blackmails and brainwashes you into thinking you should do in order to be received by god for the sakes of money! Churches are the biggest scam going and biggest con-artist there are! I just got sick and tired of living my life to the best of my ability, being a good person and treating others the same I want to be treated, only to go to church to be told I was a sinner, I am not worthy, I need forgiveness and so on. When you see Jesus on the cross, all I see is punishment and pain, hate and anger. These are views the church wants to portray, but I do not believe this is what God wants to portray. He only wants us to live our lives to the fullest. Be the best person we can be, love and respect others and enjoy the tremendous gift of life he gave us. It was a gift from God to enjoy sex, a gift from God to have sexual partners. I believe it is sin to waste those gifts especially with the restrictions and prohibitions the church places on them, again to fear and guilt people into thinking they are dirty or bad people and the only way God will forgive them is if the church allows it, after you give them money of course!

I'm one of those type of people who watches a little bit of porn & even booty shaking videos every now and then. However I've never had sex in my life before because I'm not ready for it. Also I do pleasure myself just for the fun of it. I guess guilty pleasure is a little too challenging for most of us to handle nowadays.

I was raised Catholic but have been sexual in one way or another (self-pleasure to making out with guys, to now being regularly full-on sexually active) since I was 15 or so.

I've never really felt 'guilty' about this bringing any sort of sinful state upon me, though. I mean, who am I hurting through engaging in intercourse with another individual? What am I doing that's inherently 'wrong', aside from doing something that counters what a bunch of men wrote down centuries, if not millennia ago, that in reality was just a way of them managing the sexual activities of individuals back then) Mainly applicable to women so that the men could be certain of the survival of their lineage.

So... yeah, in any case- I feel zero guilt for not living by sick, twisted ideologies such as that.

I am also a Christian and am sexually active. I find that it is way more common now for Christians to be having premarital sex. I do feel guilty and repent daily about my sexual sins.
