One of the hardest parts of sexual sin is dealing with the consequences. They often come in the form of shame, regret, self-hatred, embarrassment, disgust, and hopelessness.  They aren’t always internal feelings either, they can be about the way your sin affects others - hurt loved ones, divorce, loss of a job, loss of trust or loss of respect from others.
