Good day everyone ๐ I am Bankole Elizabeth, a Corps Member serving in Adankolo Community, Lokoja, Kogi State. This community is experiencing serious water scarcity. During dry season, shallow wells dry up. Residents walk long distances in search of water. Itโs heartbreaking.
I have a friend who has never had sex in his entire life.
He has never dated, and he has kept himself pure for years.
One day he was telling me about his plans to get married, and I looked at him and said something very honest:
"One thing I wish I could undo is the sex I had before marriage."
That statement came from experience.
I was introduced to sex and pornography at a very young age. But at some point I realized something โ you cannot blame your past forever. Responsibility eventually becomes personal.
And the truth many people avoid saying is this:
Premarital sex has consequences.
We are naive to think that the moment we receive Christ everything automatically disappears.
Yes, God forgives.
But healing is often a process.
There are memories that stay longer than you expected.
There are attachments that take years to break.
There are patterns that follow you even when you want to change.
Many people carry silent memories.
The emergency pills taken in fear.
The tears of people they hurt.
Relationships built on lust.
Sex that happened without wisdom.
Moments they wish they could erase.
And this applies to both men and women.
Some people assume everything is fine after abortions or broken relationships, but the emotional and spiritual effects of sexual history can remain longer than expected.
The Bible says sexual sin is different because it is a sin against your own body.
Many people don't understand that until years later.
Sex is not just physical.
It connects memory.
It connects emotion.
It connects the mind.
Years later you can suddenly remember someone you slept with.
Sometimes you find yourself comparing your spouse with someone from your past.
Sometimes you battle thoughts you never invited.
Some people cannot stay without sex and end up trapped in pornography and masturbation because their bodies were trained into patterns they never intended.
Healing for me was intentional.
I had to face my past honestly.
I had to pray.
I had to break emotional ties.
I had to renew my mind daily.
It took time.
It took discipline.
It took therapy.
It took prayer.
And slowly, healing came.
Today when I tell young people to avoid sex before marriage, it is not theory.
It is experience.
Purity is not foolishness.
Waiting is not weakness.
Self-control is not backwardness.
The world presents sex as casual, but the effects are rarely casual.
Some experiences stay in your memory longer than expected.
Some attachments take years to break.
Some patterns follow you into marriage.
If you are still pure, protect it.
Don't let anyone make you feel outdated for waiting.
And if you are already involved in sexual sin, understand this:
You can still change direction.
End the pattern.
Renew your mind.
Seek healing.
Seek God.
Freedom is possible.
But freedom requires honesty.
If I could speak to my younger self, I would say this:
That life was not worth it.
The pleasure was temporary.
But the consequences lasted longer than expected.
Today when I see people walking in purity, I respect them deeply.
Because some of us know what it took to come out of the opposite path.
If you are young and reading this:
Avoid sex until marriage.
Not because someone forced you to.
But because some roads are easier never walked than healed from later.
