Amen. I have a sexual past and anytime I think about meeting a christian man, the anxiety tries to come in, that I ruined the chances of having a christian marriage. But the truth comes flooding in.

Nah. That's why people become players. Because girls literally don't care. Many advantages to having a past. Have experience. Girls care more about guys who have status than virgins. That's why men say don't blame the player, blame the game. If girls only dated virgins this wouldn't happen.

I had a sketchy sexual past. Show compassion please. I was molested as a small child by my dad and the damage was insurmountable. It took a long time for God to heal my deep trauma and get me grounded in purity.

[@HistoryNerd808]

I'm glad to hear that God got you out from that. I can only claim to know what it's like to be a family member of someone who did go through that(I found out in college that my little brother had been assaulting my little sister for years. Tore my entire family up pretty good. I only recently 6-ish years later got out from my own guilt and anger over it) so I can't know how you feel or what you've been through but I am very happy to know that you're still here. All I can give you is encouragement to stay strong in the faith. God never gave up on you and I hope and pray that you are doing well and as healed as can be reasonably expected after something like that.

[@elora2993]

The fact that he stuck with her comforted her how ever long it took to process something like this is amazing to me. My experience has always been getting a response along the lines of 'oh you're still thinking on that?' or 'you should be over it by now' or 'I feel badly about it cut me some slack already'. (both friends and potential partners) Im healing my trauma though so Im learning to see the kind of ppl who have little patience for empathy towards others more quickly. Seeing this gives me hope there are better people to hope for as I learn to Rest in God and seek Him.

[@Jak6407]

Thank you for sharing something so vulnerable. I have been on both sides of the spectrum, and I wanted to share a bit of my story. I had been saving myself for marriage my entire life, and didn’t have my first kiss until I was about to turn 25. I started dating a guy that I admired greatly. He was a youth leader… as the relationship progressed… I learned about his past and the number of girls he had been with sexually. I even knew one of the girls, because she was from the same church. I was completely devastated and fell into depression. We were engaged, but I’d cry almost everyday for months because I felt the exact same way you did Sadie. It was painful. During that time, the enemy was able to get a hold of my thoughts… to the point that my self-esteem hit the floor. I ended up sleeping with him… I felt that it would try and make me feel better… Special somehow, from the other girls. But I felt worse. We are no longer together, and now that’s something I will have to tell my future husband about. I feel both sides of the story. But now that I’m on the other side, I can assure you… past sexual experiences are a scam. You don’t feel the beauty you’re meant to feel, when you do it the right way. You’re simply left feeling empty, regretful, and you begin to hate yourself for the decisions you’ve made. I know when I meet my husband and we get married… I will finally be able to experience true sexual intimacy. The kind that leaves you feeling special and valuable. The one that blesses you. I know Sam has felt something special with you, that he’s never been able to find until he met you 💙 Trust. I speak as a girl who waited faithfully for years, and let it go in a matter of seconds. You are precious 🤍

Hey guys just saw you video rightnow and truthfully speaking i agree with most of what you spoke about and i feel there are other things from the past that can really affect somebody in a relationship and really have them look at you differently like having been a Drug dealer,a gangster,murder or even partook in anything like witchcraft that Stuff also heavy enough i think to really mess with Somebody's head.I like what Sadie said when you said he's been washed by the blood and everything is in the past.As much as somebody can be tranformed and changed the other can't bear the thought of you having done something like that in the past.And i think its the Power of grace at work in us that most people can talk about it and work through it Thank you for sharing guys. I really appreciate it and God Bless❤

[@lanedickens8170]

Sadie, I was once in a very similar situation as you before I was a Christian, and it was equally difficult. I was basically the last man in her long line of sexual sin. We dated for three years and I never felt like I knew the whole story but always suspected there was something much bigger and darker than what she had been telling me. Turns out I was right. I was stuck just like you were. What made it the most difficult was that she wasn’t accountable for her actions. She made excuses and justifications and made me feel crazy for having jealousy about her past. What I needed from her was for her to say more than “I made mistakes” but to look at her past, her childhood, her previous relationships, and ask herself what hole in her heart was she trying to fill and how was her sexual sin the thing that numbed the pain for her. I needed her to understand herself. I needed accountability. I didn’t know this was what I needed until after we broke up. Instead I got excuses, justifications, “I’m forgiven don’t hold my past against me,” temporary comfort and reassurance when I was upset, and her unwillingness to acknowledge the consequences of her actions. Maybe you are still in a place where you feel like you need something more but aren’t sure what. It seems that Sam has been more than comforting and accommodating for you but there may be more answers you need. A deep dive into his childhood/subconscious is something I think an intelligent guy like Sam is capable of and it may provide answers and forgiveness for the both of you. In the end I had to do the deep dive for her based on what I knew about her childhood from her and from her family. It helped me to have compassion in place of judgement, and to forgive her and myself. We aren’t together anymore, but I am finally free from the hurt that I carried even after we broke up. It feels like a betrayal sometimes. You aren’t alone, sister. Prayers and blessings to you both.

I'm leaving a comment for anyone who might be watching this video with internal convictions or a past like his. I think it's incredibly important to share your past and deep dark secrets right off the bat, even before you enter a relationship. The sooner, the better! 👏 That way, it doesn't come up later as a surprise or as an "Oh, this isn't the person I thought I knew." This is a scary thing to do (trust me, I know), and the enemy will whisper to you to tell you to do it "later" or maybe hide it forever, but sharing your past demons BEFORE letting that person make an assumption about you is so, so helpful to build a successful relationship.

Five, attainable tips for you my friend. I've been sober for years I've lost count. It's not easy by any stretch, just what I did and still do. 1. Yes, you need to pray. But also pray for healthier desires. Know that you are forgiven and can heal. 2. There's a video by KZbinr John Doyle. Once you understand the lie of porn, it will help finding relationship grounded in truth. Must watch if you want to quit. 3. I don't know if you exercise, but go hard on an exercise regime. I run well over 100 kilometers a month. A goal for myself. 4. Understand that porn is directly linked to human trafficking. Every view contributes to destroying someone's life. Don't participate. 5. Get some new hobbies. I'm a gamer and I love reading books. You gotta redirect that dopamine.

[@ryanhebert2374]

@@nickmaestro Five answers for your tips. 1. Prayer is what I need and I do it as often as possible and I pray to God about my needs, wants, desires, as well as pray to him whenever I need help. 2. I appreciate your consideration about the KZbinr by the name of John Doyle, and I’ll be mindful to look him up as soon as I can. 3. Are used to exercise, but it’s some thing I have a strong desire to get back into, but I’ve never followed through on it recently and I know it’s a beneficiary to my health. 4. I don’t fully understand your meaning behind your claim that pornography is directly linked to human trafficking indeed pornography is a terrible habit but not everyone in the adult industry is a victim of human trafficking if that’s what you’re suggesting I’ve known some adult actresses that actually got into the business as young adults and by young adults I’m referring to 18 years of age or older and when I say I’ve known some adult actresses I don’t mean that I’ve actually met some but I have done research on some but nonetheless pornography is a terrible business and is a cheap thrill and nothing more. 5. I actually have other hobbies besides that I like to play video games I love watching documentaries on history I like listening to music there a variety of things that I like to do one thing I would like to do is get out more and experience more social exposure meet new people because I’m largely a homebody mostly by choice because I enjoy the comforts of home so in someways, I’m pretty introverted, but that doesn’t help my cause to get a godly woman in my life and I also attend church almost every Sunday as I am a Catholic Christian.

[@Justyouraverageguy172]

I have the most important tip for you brother…. Fully love and accept and embrace your sexuality and your desire for sex as the good gift that made it to be by God as a way to glorify Him in marriage. Use the power And peace of this truth to spiritually discipline yourself when the urge comes on to then study the Word and pray the Rosary to calm yourself and ask God to few you and He will since that is how he did with me after 16 years. The truth of this revelation set me free as the motivation for why I couldn’t stop until 6 months ago after 16 years. I hated and condemned myself for struggling to quit and failing in my own until I realized that only God can help me overcome it and it’s not hopeless.

The person I'm dating (who has a much less extensive sexual past) knows I have fallen short in that area but I didn't share the details out of fear.. part of me wants to move on and leave it in the past and keep what I did to myself, but part of me feels like I should tell my current partner the extent I sinned or else they could resent me for holding back on that information. What would you suggest I do? Do I owe it to him to share how many past partners I've had or is it valid to keep some personal details to myself now that I've moved on from those choices?

Would you please respond to the question I asked in the comment section in the video about insecurities in relationships. It was about a clip inserted talking on recognising the good old days while we are in them.

I was never raised in a Christian upbringing so I never had a chance. I had morality and know good and evil, regarding sexual discipline, but no awareness of sin being serious and lust etc. I had no concept of being Christian or seeking a Christian partner. Luckily I don’t have an std and have a wonderful son. I don’t know if I can ever marry again.

[@BansheeKing22]

I know my past and prior childhood issues are too much. While I do desire a wife I'd want her to be a virgin. However since im not one myself I highly doubt any would be able to look past that with me and I wouldn't blame them because even i cannot look past a girls history which is why I personally can't be with a non-virgin. Essentially im in a never ending loop and I really have no other options at my age but to try and push aside my God given desire for marriage and pretend it doesn't exist. It's always going to hurt watching others, especially early twenties couples get what I wanted and tried for when I was in my early twenties but I just have to learn to live with that. One day I'll have to tell my father to give up on ever getting grandkids from me. My mother did and even stopped praying for me so now he needs to give up too. You both have something I'll never have and while I cannot help but feel some measure of jealousy, I do congratulate you both. I've gotten the short end of the stick countless times in my life and always felt overlooked and forgotten but maybe thats just how it has to be. The eternal balance, one must suffer for another to be happy.

That's why sex outside of marriage is wrong in every meaning of the word. I think Sadie has every right to feel the way she felt or feels (and I am not judging Sam by saying this, it's my general opinion on this matter). Think of the chance of transferring STD's to someone that saved him or herself for marriage out of fear and love for God. God is holy and He has His principles (remember you reap what you sow). So if Sadie really wanted to end the relationship when she found out about the pre-marital sex and couldn't accept it, I think God would have helped her through the process and that He would have brought her what she sowed for in purity. I know we all are sinners needing forgiveness from our heavenly Father, but I consider sex outside of marriage another category that could have consequences the trespasser should not cry about. In the old testament you would have gotten a death sentence, so it just shows God's grace through Jesus that many fornicators are still alive.

[@ESEben10]

You sound somewhat radical 😅. Though you said a truth.

[@JohnSmith-uq1jx]

absolute truth here. Most people can't fully appreciate the depth of just how evil society has become from the normalization of such an egregious sin. The God of the Old Testament is the God of the New Testament. Bring back capital punishment for fornication.

[@waldensiansylph4869]

🥺🙏🏼💔 Ah.. it's hard. But at least you know he's straight- It is some kind of consolation I guess. I just expect a past from a male now. Before, I was shattered so easily. Now I've toughened my heart to bear it. As long as he's only for me once we're together and moving forward, that's what matters. There's all kinds of men married, with a past, but devoted to their wives from when they met and on. I had a friend who changed my perspective on this, wanting an inexperienced man, she called it my "princess view". But she said in her country, the advice is, if a man has hit 30 and hasn't been or isn't actively pursuing the opposite sex or marriage- Leave Him Alone. Do not try to hint or pursue him, he's prob gay. Leave him be. If he's not, of course he'll be talking to someone, or "struggling" or pursuing Some female in some way. He's a man.

Good. Work on building yourself up, improve your confidence, work on building resources, and do inner work to conquer your fears and your setbacks. The best thing you have to offer someone as a Christian is your purity.

[@billy503]

I'm going to be brutally honest here: I completely side with the way Sadie expresses her feelings here. Insofar to say, I could feel the hurt from her soul emanating from her words, because you can tell she is/was absolutely sincere about her intentions and respect and outlook on the santcity of holy matrimony. That being said, I really did not feel anywhere near as much conviction of contrition from Sam as the situation seemed to warrant, and in some ways, it feels like that's where the continued hurt from Sadie comes from. If it's still rattling her very core to this day, then it means there are still some elements of that pain that are not resolved. I think this is because what Sam did was infidelity of the soul, not the body. She was looking for someone who was pure in body as a reflection of their soul, and that wasn't what Sam was bringing to the table, and so even though what he did wasn't done during your time of dating, it was done in a way that hampered the purity of what your soul was seeking. Obviously, Sam could not have known he was going to meet Sadie, and obviously I'm sure his choices would have been different had he known the future. That being said, I think there's still a long way to go in the healing process of Sadie's poor soul, and I hope that Sam is up to the task of helping mend something that extends beyond the sins of the body, and something that clearly fractured Sadie on a spiritual level in terms of what sort of connection she was hoping to attain and build with a partner in Christ.

[@Quadster19]

I think it would be better if people with "very active" pasts leave more inexperienced people alone. This might be what damages more relationships than anything else. Why not marry another reformed individual?

[@kelvintrollol]

Well said

[@jazmynegrace577]

I think you two should be very proud of your testimony because you're living example to those who have fallen short that God can still bless them after repentance ( God's love doesn't change because of sin) God can still give them an unexpected end. Honestly if you don't share your testimony about what God did for you then what's the point of saving people and reaching out to the Lost after they've sinned. If they're going to just be stuck with "they're not as good as someone who have saved themselves".. God can wash your sins as far as the East is from the West. And the more time you spend with God your innocence is restored. I don't think that gets talked about enough how God restores your innocence even after you've had some sort of perverse past. Now don't get me wrong when you sin. There is a consequence and sometimes it takes a while for some to really get for freedom and deliverance from the choices that they've made. Especially in their mind. Because we can be forgiven by God but sometimes it's hard for us to believe that we're forgiven. And there are some people who need Deliverance after they've committed sin.. so there is a huge benefit from waiting to have sex until marriage.

[@GoJojo-lv6zi]

I appreciate this video. But at the end, Sam is not taking accountability. He says he had pure intentions but Satan twisted them, and mistakes are ok as long as your not content, etc. And Sadie seems to blame her justified indignation and maybe resentment about marrying a man who didn’t exercise the same discipline she did - which is greater on her end because men have to go out of their way to sleep with women whereas women have to enforce their boundaries more often to avoid sex with the many willing participants. Sadie did nothing wrong. Her anxiety and resentments were justified. It was her choice to forgive him and not seek out a partner who had the same discipline and unwavering faith that she did. Sam disappointed me here, not because of what he did but because he did not take FULL accountability and also did not make it very very clear to Sadie that her reaction was justified and she did in fact deserve someone who waited too - then simply ask for forgiveness and give her space to connect with God and decide to marry him.

[@Shearose107]

If God, the definition of righteous and purity can forgive our trespasses , who are we to not forgive others. She was just as unclean as her husband without the love and blood of Jesus christ. She said "i was upset because I had self control." In reality, all of us were out of control and unclean before the Lord saved us. Im glad the truth was shown to this woman, but we christians can miss out on beautiful connections if we think too highly of ourselves and become self-righteous because of our good works. I mean look at the pharisees .No Christian ever has the right to hold another to a sin that God has forgiven unless they want God to hold them accountable for their own sin,as well.

[@True253]

I'm sorry but I don't understand these types of videos at all. Like what does someone else's sexual past have to do with you? If they have repented and God has forgiven them, what's the issue? I just feel like this is what happens when the church idolizes virginity.

[@ESEben10]

Absolutely, no. We as chrsitians must be aware of the fact that at anytime we may be called to give account of our actions. Bear in mind: sin carries along consequences.

[@True253]

@@ESEben10 It's a self righteous attitude to think you're above anyone or anything. We're all human. Don't think the sun shines out of your butt just because you waited until marriage. I'm really sick of our community acting as if premarital sex is the worst sin a person can commit. The worst sin is the rejection of Jesus, that's it. This stuff needs to stop. We should be seeking a spouse who has a heart to serve the Lord, not someone who is a virgin. Also, yeah some sins do carry consequences. You might have to pay for theirs and they might have to pay for yours. Still not a good reason to idolize virginity.

[@ESEben10]

It's not idolizing virginity, but choosing someone who also succeeded in running away from the sexual sin. Only them can understand the joy/importance of waiting. We have to respect the demands of those who decided to pass through all the struggles to keep themselves pure. This reminded me of Paul (Acts 15:36-40).

[@kelvintrollol]

As they should. You never heard of telegony and microchimerism? Thats from a scientific standpoint that validates the Bible. Stop finding excuses for shit actions.

[@marjaan2657]

When you save yourself for marriage, you expect the same from your future spouse. So now when you fall in love with someone who didn't wait for marriage, it is hard. Because you waited despite how difficult it was and someone didn't wait. No one knows who will come into our lives, but those saving themselves for marriage desire someone who is doing the same.

If he was a Christian guy he wouldn't have done that. You talk about holding on to your standards Sadie but you didn't. You excused it. Here's a test: can you decorate it? Can you celebrate it? If not then move on. Who wants someone who has been with someone else! Is that kind of a guy God's best? No! What did your parents say? Is that what you would want for your daughter? Did the girl get pregnant and then what? Big mess that you didn't create Sadie!
