    Question

    I recently lost my virginity unwillingly. I had known him a few months and had told him from the beginning that i wanted to wait for marriage to have sex. We were touching each other sexually until i felt pain in my vagina. When he told me his penis was penetrating me, i was in such shock i couldnt even tell him to stop. Is this rape or abuse? Please help, i feel so betrayed.

    Answer

    I am so sorry that this happened to you and I hope you have ended the relationship - after he betrayed your trust. Yes, it is rape if you did not consent.
