why do i feel guilty?

Whenever I have sex or even have any type of relations with someone I always feel guilty and disgusted with myself the next day. Its gotten so bad that I refuse to do anything with anyone anymore, even if I want to. I used to enjoy it, but for some reason it just.. Horrifies me now. Why do I feel this way? Is it normal?

Hi Seabreeze100..

yes it is normal to feel that way..i also feel that way right after relations with someone..eventually it goes away
i'm not sure exactly what causes these feelings except maybe we feel that we're doing something that's not 'normal' or acceptable by society..but guess what..alot of other are doing the same thing..if it gets to a point that you dont want to have any relations than talking to a professional may be a good idea

For me, I found that I felt guilty any time I would do anything sexual with someone. I kept feeling this way until I met my girlfriend and for the first time I never felt guilty about sex. so in my case, I feel guilty because I didn't have powerful feelings for the person. With my girlfriend, I have strong feelings of love which makes me feel like sex with her is "right". This may not be the case for you, but personally I can't commit sexually unless I have an strong emotional backing.

when i was in a committed relationship with my girlfriend..i also was comfortable and did not feel guilty about sex..for me the guilt is really associated with 'same sex' and/or sex with someone i dont have feelings for

It could be why your doing it, what was your motive? Is it a reason to be relieved of sexual tension. Was their any emotional intimacy involved? Did you trust the person? Was this a last resort or something? I don't know but it could be chemistry too, maybe you need to meet someone that like the previous posts there is the possibility of developing great trust and an emotional bond.

Some times guilt after sex comes from our past.... Did you grow up with your parents or religious leaders telling you that sex was bad outside of marriage? Were you ever sexually abused as a child? Did you have sex to early in your teen years?

These are all possible causes to feeling dirty when you engage in sexual activities as an adult.
