Answer
Kourtney,

I am not exactly sure what you are talking about here but I think this is what you need. If you are talking about sex then you can find a lot of resources at christianbook.com. I was always able to find a lot of resources here when I was in youth ministry. Some other online places would be lifeway.com and even group.com. These are all Christian book resources. You may also look into purity or virgin again. Be careful with any of these words and read carefully what the website is because some of them could be porn. I have found by accident any word that might have anything to do with sex can be a porn site. We live in a deprived world so we have to guard what we are looking for. I am also proud that you have seen your mistake and want to make it right again. You have to realize that once you have had sex it can be like an addictive drug. You want to do it again because it feels good and pleasure is hard to deny. I can understand you not wanting to violate what God has told you and that is good. I will do some more research and if you can’t find anything I will continue to answer questions for you and help you where I can.
