I slept with 28 guys

By the age of 18. The final guy I slept with was my now husband of 4 years. I regret every other one. I just want the teens and young people to know you're not obligated to have sex with people to make them like you, sex won't fill your need for love either. I was used by guys. They convinced me they liked me and slept with me a couple times and left. And that's how a lot of guys are. 
I used sex to handle problems I was having with my family. I grew up in a loveless household, and I started to look for love elsewhere. I know many of the younger girls on here are going through similar situations, using sex to fill a gap it'll never fill. 
Don't get me wrong, sex is great! But don't expect it to be a source of love. The love has to be there, sex won't create it. And most importantly love yourselves. You're all so beautiful and you deserve the best! You deserve nothing but respect from men (or women!)
