What can I tell my friend who wants to commit to secondary virginity?

Here are some things you can tell your friend about secondary virginity:

Your past is past. Maybe you made some mistakes. Haven’t we all? Let’s deal with today. For starter, go see your doctor. Be honest. Tell your doctor that you’ve had sex and how many partners you have had. That way, he or she can take good care of you. You are no longer a virgin. But this is about second chances. And now you’ve got a decision to make. Starting today, make a commitment that you will wait to have sex again until you are in a lifelong, faithful relationship such as marriage. Then you can enjoy all the benefits. Be the kind of person that prevails in difficult situations, and stand by your new commitment without compromise.

What’s next?

Encourage your friend to be honest with people about her decision. Be there to support her because it will not be an easy thing for her to do. Encourage her to stick to her decision. Be there for her as someone she can rely on to giver her an honest opinion.
