Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i am 19 years old and had lost virginity two days ago i am not feeling too good also and not too bad but somewhere in my mind it feels that whether i did the right thing or not.A thinking of family values that not having sex before marriage and all that came into my mind and also thinking that is it a sin doing sex before marriage
I understand your guilt and turmoil after having had premarital sex recently. Now, having premarital relationships and sexual contact is something which is an entirely personal decision. It depends on the person's cultural values and moral principles. So, I will not be in a position to tell you whether what you did was right or wrong.
But I would advise you not to be hasty in any major decisions about your relationship or future partner. It's common to have infatuations and physical attraction at this age, bit you should ensure that you don't get carried away and make any irrational emotional decisions. If you are feeling very guilty or overanxious about your recent sexual encounter, then it would be a good idea to speak to a counselor or psychiatrist for professional advise and counselling to handle your guilt and anxiety.
Regards, Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar Consultant Psychiatrist
