Hi my fellow brothers, I finally got my first girlfriend the other week and I was ecstatic and I did want to try convert her and make her wait. I’d talked to her about it before I asked her and she said she was open to church though the waiting till marriage thing was still up in the air.
I'm a Christian, but unfortunately last week I succumbed to my temptations and lustful feelings and lost my virginity to this same girl and then again proceeded to have sex again today. I had always dreamed of having intercourse after marriage however, first by starting masturbating, now by breaking that sacred act of sex, I've only pushed myself lower and lower towards the point of no return.
I need your help Christanons.
I've realised after both these times, I really don't enjoy sex, I feel dead and unphased afterwards, it doesn't satisfy me at all and I just feel shame and indifferrent. Im 22 but I only fapped for the first time when I was 21 and then after that semi-frequently. Though Ive been on a short no-fap streak so far and plan to power through it.
I don't want to have sex anymore and I'm not having the "best time ever" with my gf even though I always thought once I get my first gf it would be non stop fun.
My faith has been lacking, I've not been in church for over a year, my life is also off track and I spend my days depressed at home or depressed at work,
I feel like maybe I need to cut off this relationship but I'm lost, misguided and confused.
I'm ashamed and disappointed in myself and I've let God down with my actions.
I don't know what to do. I do like this girl and she’s such a sweet and kind person and I truly wish not to hurt her but I am lost and don’t know what to do at this point in time and how to convey my concerns and feelings.
Please help me.
