The answer

You must perform (ritual purification bath) from (state of ritual impurity due to sexual activity) when its cause is present, such as intercourse, as long as you are able to use water and can find it. You must repent to Allah for having missed some prayers, for intentionally abandoning prayer is one of the greatest sins. What was obligatory upon you was to perform ghusl, and if you were unable, then (dry ablution). You must now make up the missed prayers in order, and if you were aware of the impermissibility of your action, then you bear sin and must repent. If you were ignorant and your ignorance is excusable, then there is no sin upon you.
