How Do We Handle Sexual Urge In A Godly Relationship? by mencade5(m): 10:30am On Mar 30, 2016
This post is a bit long. Please bear with me.



Oh yes...there are many advocates of no sex before marriage and the marriage bed undefiled. A relationship free from all forms of sinful lifestyle that will hinder your spiritual growth.

These words of caution have been the watchwords of so many believers here on nairaland and in my vicinity. We are quick to dish out this advice to singles about godliness, say things like avoid kissing, dont visit him alone, if you are with him open all doors and windows, dont hug him or her, avoid close contact etc.

Na wa ooooo
but will these help?

despite all these i have not seen or heard a distinct and effective solution to this issue of no sex before marriage.


What happens when he or she is alone in the room and the feelings comes real strong? I guess you will tell me to rebuke the spirit abi?

Oluwa eseun ooo

I was with a sister yesterday after sometime she started praying. Later she told me the urge for sex came and she had to rebuke it.
Osanobua!

I told her if my presence always causd her to fall then she should let me know so that i wont lead her into temptation. She declined it. I was told of a guy who was having sexual urge, his peniiis was erecting and instantly he spoke to it (peniiis) that calm down its not yet time and it relaxed!
Chaiiiiiii
for real?


there was a case of an intending couple who according to church doctrine must not defile their marriage bed. They agreed to it but the lady was sleeping with their next door neighbour, relieving herself while deceiving her man and pretending she was abstaining until she was caught one day.

No textbook solution please. A practical or real life solution is what we need here.

Pastors, pastress, prophets, teachers of the word, evangelist, catechist, reverends of this great religion i need your inputs on this matter. Honestly its a very serious one.

How do handle sexual urge in a godly relationship.

So long as you're a Christian, you're obliged to obey God's law and one of them is no sex before marriage. If you're feeling Hot, read the Bible and sing praises to God instead. If really you can't resist the urge, go outside and talk to friends. Overall, getting married with save you the stress

Sexual suppression as it is being taught in the modern society/churches/mosques is harmful: they cause psychological suffering and at least some of the reasons behind the teaching have no valid reason at all.

The moral values of not having premarital sex come from times when contraception and paternity tests were not available. The only certain way of making sure that one particular man fathered a child was to make sure that the women had sex only with that one particular man. This practical consideration was twisted into abstinence being a "religious virtue": to allow easier enforcement of the required abstinence.

Why must one suppress his/her sexual urges when we are exactly like other animals(who have sex whenever they want). Suppression leads to suffering. Any christian brother or sister know deeply in their heart how much they suffer and often get depressed due to abstinence. Why can't their god kill the sexual urge?

Linking sex with guilt, portraying it as dirty creates a huge conflict in one's mind when having to consider oneself guilty, dirty and despicable for experiencing a natural impulse.

Teaching that sexuality is natural and ok is harmful to certain ancient doctrines that would like to keep their hold on society. Teaching that sex should be suppressed harms actual people is immoral and lacks sufficient reasons.

Sex is beautiful and one shouldn't be in a psychological shackles for having it.

Be responsible when having sex(condoms)

Hmmn. Difficult question buh i'll try.
More reasons y u shouldn't be alone with him/her in an enclosed place (dats if u knw both of u are too weak 2 resist).
Ur discussions should not be centered on sexualy provocative topics dat'll instigate the feeling.
Finally, u & only u can resist the urge cos only u knws why u want to wait. Hence, u should always be reminded of ur convictions each time the urge arises. Thanks

nice input bro. I was im a relationship 3 years ago with a lady. We did all nor,al people do. Including sex. But one day she came to me and said she dont want us to continue doing this. That we must stop for our own good. I was dumbfounded. I later discovered that it was a church pastor of hers that told her her spiritual life has gone down that she needed to stop fornication. After 2 months i couldnt cope and i had to quit. But its a different story now. I don repent

Sex is a good thing created by God. If you and her being alone would cause arousal and urges, Brother Prayer point won't help. Have been there. You'd be tempting yourself and using prayer point as excuse. You're red blooded, if you can't handle the Smoke then leave the kitchen... Stop staying together in a lonely place especially during night hours, if she would visit or you would visit, try to leave the door open and don't lock it and also avoid the bed when comfort comes in, then You'd surely feel it.

And above all, uhmmm this things won't be easy but then both of you need to agree on it.

did u at some point wait? The reminder of our conviction is a good points. What if the man is strong and the woman is weak in terms of controlling their urge will u still advice them not to be in the same room?

He was in prison most of the time. He masturbated. No prayer point fit commit conji for body. If God wanted you to have sex after marriage, you won't have an erection until you say 'I do'. Sexual desires are normal in every living being, they are not and should not be treated as evil.

my advice is follow those things you've listed above, try ur best, but if it happens it happens, nothing to get overworked up about.

It is sad to see pastors destroying sexually active couples . Religion controls people to the point it makes them feel guilty for having sex. A Pastors is a politicians behind a mask. His aim is to control and dominate his members. Their is no better trick than creating guilt.

Paul could do it because, he knows that God created the human spirit to control the human body.
That the spirit could dictate to the body but when one is in sin, the body (which is unsaved) rules the spirit.
i.e rides it like a donkey.
This is very perverse and degrading in God's sight.
Imagine how you'd feel if you heard that the ceo of a company was taking orders from the gateman?
It would sound perverse right?! - But if the ceo doesnt know, he is a ceo, he'll be afraid and terrorised by the mei gaurd.
That's what the flesh (your physical body) wants to do to your spirit(the ceo). And satan works through the flesh.
It is shameful in God's eyes and a disgusting and shameless demotion.
But He's not going to come in and thrash the gateman, He wants you to do it.
Begin to put the gateman in his place. Tell him no, tell him shut up and keep quiet.
You can go a lifetime without se.x, it's not food or water than you CAN'T do without.
Many people just buy into the lie that's it's impossible. But that's all there is to it- A LIE.

As a king, prince, royalty,if you are born again, ( it is degrading to let slaves (the body ruleyou). Very degrading ).
But we will all get there. Little by little.
The church is hypocritical, people have lived all their lives, being ruled by their slaves, so they are struggling to assert their authority on the issue. It will take time. But with determination it can be done.

- There's no shortcut to it - YOU ,yes YOU, control your body.
After a time it becomes easy.
think of mr. universes, they've gone so far in body building that their struggle is not on how to motivate themselves to go to the gym!!
I believe a man can so train himself, that even if a nu.de woman comes into the room, her nak-edness will not rouse him.

Sorry to say that christianity is the den of hypocrites.
A man had kidney failure and was warned by the doctors to abstain from sx, His condition got worse and he was crying for help. One of the things of note i read was that he had been without sx for over 2 years!

In this world, people are fvcking like there is no tomorrow. Which makes me wonder why girls get angry when a man approaches them - fvckers.

One thing though, if you are a true christian and you fvck around, your conscience will prick you.
You can go ahead and kill it. Also, if you abstain , you'll feel 'clean' . This is the dilemma.
You'll enjoy the beauty of purity and disdain the filth of sin but you'll also feel the pressure to sin.
