Sexual experiences - disappointment for young people who have them prematurely

08/23/2011

So many boys and girls are disappointed and sorry after certain sexual experiences! Up until then they felt light and happy, whereas now a heaviness has entered them, and they feel uneasy, ashamed even. Their gaze is no longer as clear, and they say, ‘I didn’t know it was like that. If only I had known!’ That’s right, boys and girls the world over do not know what awaits them when they casually embark on certain experiences before they are ready for them. And what’s more, at that time they are not interested in knowing: what they want is to experience pleasure and try out new sensations. But then, more often than not, it is not happiness but dissatisfaction that awaits them – the feeling of having lost something. And when they understand they have made a mistake, their understanding no longer serves any purpose; it has come too late. Well, who is there to warn them? And will they listen?
