Freed from bondage: a British woman left a strict sect after losing her virginity at the age of 30

Jessie Shedden, from Gwent, was a member of a religious society where it was forbidden to listen to pop music, celebrate birthdays, and girls were not allowed to do makeup and wear trousers. Having lost her virginity, she was afraid that one of the members of the church would find out about it. In the end, the British woman decided to leave the community, and only then did she feel real freedom. Find out how the girl's life in the sect was held from our material.

34-year-old Jessie recalls how she hid with her boyfriend from relatives and acquaintances and was afraid that she would get pregnant after the first sex. She lost her virginity in the back seat of a car on her 30th birthday. It was not romantic at all, but it was then that the girl felt real freedom for the first time.

The Briton grew up in a large family and was the youngest of eight siblings. They were all members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, which was strictly restricted. There was no television, no radio, no books in their house, except for religious psalms. Young people were forbidden to listen to pop music, and girls were forbidden to wear trousers.

The church had a negative attitude to the participants ' communication with representatives of other religious denominations. Women did not cut their hair, appeared on the street only with their heads covered, did not wear jewelry and did not use makeup. The main commandment was to live in the name of God, so it was forbidden to celebrate birthdays and keep pets.

The family never talked about sex. Jessie was homeschooled, so she didn't have any friends and didn't hang out with guys. The girl knew nothing about contraception, and the question "Where do children come from?" and about menstruation, the parents answered quickly and evasively. However, the girl in her teens began to be interested in these details. She secretly bought a book about sex with her accumulated pocket money. The British woman read it at night under a blanket, trying to find answers to her questions.

Communication with the guys in the church was strictly limited. Usually, everyone met with their families for dinner, so it was almost impossible to establish close ties with the opposite sex.

Everything changed when Jessie met a 42-year-old man who was not a member of their organization while working for her father. At that time, she was 18 years old. Although they were not allowed to be friends, they secretly met and communicated. This lasted for four years, until someone from the church noticed them together and informed her parents. The father and mother forced the daughter to break off communication with her boyfriend, and since then she has realized that she wants a different life.

Leaving the Brotherhood meant giving up your family. Despite all the restrictions, Jessie loved her parents, brothers and sisters, so she decided to put up with it. The girl wanted to marry a man who was a member of the same church in Australia, but she refused. In 2016, her mother fell ill with cancer, and in June 2018, she died at the age of 68. Her death helped the British woman realize how short life is, and how unhappy she really is.

Thoughts of intimacy never left Jessie's mind. In her life, there was only one man who attracted her sexually – the same employee from her father's work. The British woman began to communicate with him again in 2016, and at one of the meetings she said that she wanted to lose her virginity with him.

On their 30th birthday, the couple sneaked off to a secluded spot in the countryside and got down to business in the back of a car. Although the first sexual experience was neither romantic nor perfect, Jessie felt a sense of freedom that she had never experienced before. Their relationship lasted only a few months, but greatly influenced the British woman.

The girl left the Brotherhood in 2017. The head of the society tried to persuade her not to leave, but Jessie was adamant. The parents were very upset by their daughter's decision, but they had to let her go. The British woman moved to a rented apartment and started life with a clean slate.

Jessie started a small business-a poultry farm. In 2019, she met her fiance, 63-year-old Dai. The British woman says that she prefers older men, and peers seem immature to her. The couple started living together in March 2020. The lovers are going to get married, but they do not plan to have children. A woman is very happy that she can finally enjoy love and freedom.
