Abstinence from any kind of sexual activity is possible. In fact, it's very possible. Though it's not so easy at first. One thing we must realize is that we've got absolute power over our body and it's desires. These emotions/feelings can actually be controlled. Just like anger which is also feeling can be controlled. Once you master how to possess your mind, you'll begin to dictate what you do and not what your body tells you to do. It doesn't mean the urge for sex won't come. It will, sometimes it'll come like a hurricane but if you "choose" not to yield, it'll go the same way it came. One more thing, I'm not comfortable with the way most of you guys tag a Christian that's sexually active as hypocritical. You have to understand that not everyone is emotionally mature even though he or she could be spirituality mature. A Christian is not a perfect person but a work in progress. Tagging a Christian a hypocrite just because that person engages in sex which the bible says is wrong is just unreasonable. Except such Christian usually condemn people that engage in it. |

PinkBarbie: @emboldened it is possible to go without having sex for 20 years in this generation of skinny jeans and bum shorts? so it is possible to not satiate your sexual urges via other media like tossing, öral sex et for 15-20 years? stop playing yourself pinkbarbie. . . even when you urinate it is called secondary ejaculåtion. . . even if it is possible to completely abstain. . . . .is it necessary? what is the essence of being hungry and having a box of cookies that could quell the hunger yet you keep the cookies stashed away in the attic. . . .does it make any sense? |
Re: Religion And 21st Century Abstinence From Sex, How Possible? by Nobody: 10:44am On Apr 28, 2016 |
IamWestAfrican:@bolded... You're a fooooolll!! Hahaha I just had the laugh of the week Lol your logic doesn't tally with the subject of discussion. I'll still tackle it anyway. What if the cookie might affect your system? What if you just don't like that cookie? It's more like saying why should one stay hungry when there's beans in the pot? Unknown to you what beans does to that person's system like heart burns, etc. Your logic doesn't even apply here because when one is hungry, he's going to stay hungry unless he eats! But when one is Hot, you don't have to have sex for it to go. It can and does go the same way it came. How long it stays depends on you. |

I find this abstinence thing confusing. they preach abstinence,they preach against masturbation too then how the hell are we supposed to satisfy our natural sexual urge,which is very natural. oh,suppress is they say,suppressing it sure works for a little time,but eventually the human flesh will take over,so why the pretence?

PinkBarbie: Most of the christians that preach against sexual immorality and place stringent rules against it are no saints. Some of them are engaged in it one way or the other yet when you see them they act as the most righteous. There's no way we can distinguish real christians from fake so the generalization is almost inevitable |

skarlett:Nope, you sounded in your thread that its impossible for christians to abstain from sex or something??...and i'm telling you that its very possible |

skarlett: If you love God, You'll keep his word.. It's the devil that makes people think they can't keep God's word but will follow the instructions of the devil. It's also a trick to think everybody is doing it. |

OP thers a diff between sex nd procreation. Nature made us high sexual beings cus it wants us neva to get extinct. Thats why by age 14 things can happen, a young guy nd girl can get preggy. But we arnt getting extinct are we? Meaning its man's indefeasible purpose to control procreation. Which calls for abstinence, protection, timing blah blah. On the other hand, the need to control procreation, religion nd pleasures attached to sex all makes it overrated. I believe you can engage in it while u maintain ur values, remain nice, ethical, focused.,.. You'll remian a good, It wont make u bad or change u to a devil. Its all overrated. You can still choose nt to do it... It wont make you a saint. It all boils down to self orientation. Be yourself, be free nd do what you deem right. 1 Like 1 Share |

There are 3 concepts here, God ... Religion ... Sex... Nice! God said, I want to make them in the image of myself. So, he gave us free will i.e To choose to do or undo. Along the line, we made some really bad choices and God had to scold us. Now, the concept of Religion was birthed. To guide us and set pedestals, standards everyone should try adhere to as much as possible and take as guide when confronted with whatever, temptations in this case. So, the thing is when yo confronted with sexual tensions , which is one of those ephemeral feelings; very short lived if you have mastered life to that extent, Religion tenets are their to help you and control u. Personal ethics like patience, perseverance and determination are key attributes that could help miscellaneously when being faced with this kind of challenge too. So far, I've learned to see my religion as my good friend not my enemy, as my guide when in doubt, as my motivation when I feel left out and as my personal whip when I make bad choices which includes sexual immorality. So, I have made peace with my religion. I see it as a school that wasn't designed to scold me but to mould me . Drifting me towards fulfilling the original plan; the reason for my creation , which is living a God conscious life. I hope this helps dealing with your conundrums skarlett? 1 Like 1 Share |

But come to think of it, don't you think that there is a reason why the bible warns us to abstain from sex and sexual acts?? Abstinence is very possible, not by our power but by God's grace because where sin abound, grace much more abounds. |
