A disorder specific to young Christian males in which strong instincts to treat females
like idealized sisters-in-Christ are perpetually warring with
awkward and guiltful sexual longings towards the aforementioned sisters-in-Christ.
When these sexual longings are consummated via
even minor sexual affection with an actual
sister-in-Christ specimen, the CGS sufferer immediately experiences such guilt that the idealization is destroyed and the sexual attraction is dramatically but temporarily repressed.
CGS manifests itself in myriad ways, including self loathing, purity oaths, increased accountability group attendance, excessive use of the word "stumbled" and unpredictable social behavior wherein the affected individual sends a strong mix of conflicting interest-signals towards any woman to whom he is attracted until she cries, screams or schedules a meeting with her
high school youth pastor, who, still recovering from his own CGS, hands her a copy of "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" by
Joshua Harris.
Girl 1: Why is Preston so sweaty and
sad looking, I thought you guys had a good date last night?
Girl 2: We did, but he kissed my forehead and our cheeks touched and then he freaked out.
Girl 1: Sounds
like a
bad case of Christian Guy Syndrome.
Girl 2: It's not as bad as some I've seen, but I think you're right.
