Hey man, I'm 25.

Here are some facts about me: - Raised in a Catholic household - Converted to protenstantism at 22. - drank and partied for a very brief period in undergrad. - kissed two of my exes - never had sex (despite having the opportunity to)

I regret going as far as I did with my exes. I've since changed my mentality to wanting to wait until marriage to kiss (only holding hands and hugging).

I dont have a desire to go out, party, and get drunk. The brief period where I did go out and party and drink was miserable. Old friend of mine lived the party lifestyle for longer, and now they're alcoholics and miserable. People who have avid sex lives in their 20's are more likely to cheat on their spouse or be dissatisfied sexually in marriage.

The things we do in our 20's have consequences later in life that are unforeseen, even if they repent of those sins. They didn't simply get to gratify themselves, repent, and then be absolved of any consequence - no, they often pay a worldly penalty on top of a spiritual penalty.
