Maybe they enjoy the same thing about it that straight people do. I’m a straight female, and just about every guy I’ve dated long-term has asked me for anal sex at some point. (I personally don’t enjoy it, though I also know plenty of straight women who do.) I also know some gay men who don’t really enjoy anal sex.

I don’t belief self-mutilation is any of those things. When I was 17 and 18, I used to cut my forearms, upper arms and breasts very often. I would say that I was so severely depressed that the pain of the cutting was the only thing that made me feel something but numb. I used to think of the Nine Inch Nails song that went, ‘I hurt myself today to see if I still feel; I focus on the pain, the only thing that’s real.’ It sounds melodramatic, but when you can’t even bring yourself to get out of bed or take a shower, it makes a lot of sense.

I used to cut myself mostly when I was very angry or completely despairing. The cuts weren’t very deep, though I did know people who cut (or burned) themselves more severely than I did.

I was not seeking attention; in fact, I went to great pains to hide my cutting. I was not mentally disabled, unless you count severe depression. You might call it cultural; there are certain groups of young people who struggle with mental illness who seem more prone to self-injuring. I had one friend who even told me which kind of knives were best.

In the end, a nurse at my college’s health clinic saw my cuts and sent me to a psychiatrist. I haven’t done it in years, though for a long time after, the urge would come back whenever I was very, very upset or hurt. I can say that, eight years or so later, it has completely stopped.

Idols are things that people worship in place of God. Catholics do not actually pray to the statues in churches; therefore, they are not idols. They are just reminders of holy people of God We also do not worship the saints or the Virgin Mary. We venerate them, because we believe they led holy lives and are good examples for us to follow. Catholics believe that the souls in heaven can still pray for those of us here on earth, and so we ask Christ’s mother and many other holy people who have passed away to aid us. Of course, we still pray for God to help us. Still, it is comforting to ask a saint who faced the same problem or illness or temptation we are facing to pray for us. Catholics are not supposed to say prayers in ‘vain repitition.’ When we say the rosary, for example, which consists of many Our Fathers and Hail Marys, we are supposed to think about each prayer and its meaning. Unfortunately, many people just rattle them off as fast as possible. We believe that the Catholic church is the original church founded by Jesus and that we are the only Christian denomination that was created by God and not a man. Therefore, we value our ancient traditions with the same veneration we give to the Bible.
