Hehe.... you guys think there's something you wrote here that the OP had never heard before coming on Nairaland? Read bible, pray, fast, this and that, OP said he was born and brought up in a core Christian family. This suggests that he does all these already! And the thing still dey do am grin.

Prayer and fasting do no stop konji o! Nigerians and hypocrisy! God created nature and do not work against it. Konji is natural. So if you have any practical advice, give it and stop quoting the bible as if there's anywhere in it that says, "and I will stop your konji".

brother, i can't help but say i love you and my God bless you with wisdom and the strength to stand firm. @Thugnificen take it from me, i no a man in his mid-30s and he has never had sex. What you feed your mind is what it processes, and please don't think that sperm would store in your system till it begins to pose health problem to you. God has designed your system to let out every waste, you sweat, urinate, shit and even wet dream...no make anybody fool you

grin u no well o. No such thing as self-service responsibly. The fact that you're wanking in the first place means you've lost controlgrin
So yea discipline does pay

1.) Surpressing an urge and Controlling an urge are two entirely different things. In fact, wanking is a form of controlling an urge, which is why once done, the issue of sex is completely rubbed off the mind and such a person can concentrate on other things. And this leads us to ->

2.) Wanking can be seen as pseudo-sex where you tell the body "Hey body, I'm having sex so don't trouble me again, ok?" and once you're done, you move on. However, wanking for like 10 hours straight after perhaps 15 releases can lead to Heart attack. It's even insane and self-torture to try such. So it all boils down to use & mis-use and yes, you can self-service responsibly. Everything is done responsibly.

It's not "loss of control," it's control itself. Cheers cool

When alone don't watch any movie that will bring the urge,listen to Christian tape,read your bible,talk to your body you are dead to sin and alive in righteousness. Continue speaking the word until its soaks into your body,mind,spirit and soul. Your body shouldn't tell you what to do,tell your body you are in charge.
Re: How Can A Christian Handle Sexual Urge? by Thugnificent(m): 4:19pm On Jan 11, 2015
Thanks everyone for the responses so far. I thank God for his mercies upon my life, I just graduated from the Uni and by November I will be going for service. The problem now is I can't wait anylonger. Some people are advicing me to get married forgetting the fact that I need a stable source of income first. My hormones are raging everyday, so is it a sin to self service once in a while till i get ready for marriage? I'm sure God will understand my predicament.

[quote author=vfactor post=29697543]First you need to have a proper view of sexual urges. They re completely normal and u re not a sinner for having it. But the sin lies in allowing it to control you, instead of you controlling them. The following suggestions can help

1. Avoid negative association: by negative association i mean friends, tv programs, music videos, movies, mags, books that directly or indirectly bring ur mind to sex. Fornication starts from the mind.

2. Fill your mind with positive things: as mentioned earlier, fornication starts from the mind. If your mind if filled with positive things, the urge to have illicit sex becomes reduced. Replace negative associations with positive ones. Have friends who have the same resolve as u to abstain from pre-marital sex.

3. Pray for strength to the above. It's one thing to wish, another to do. To be able to succeed in doing this you need all the help you can get.stop doing all these when u no dey villagewhat abt d ladies u see arund evn in urdream

maybe the question is: do people actually succeed in controlling sexual urges by exercising self discipline. If yes, then wouldn't it be easier to discipline yourself and tame your urges than self-service, whether responsibly or irresponsibly, with all the psychological and health drawbacks of wanking?

UchihaMadara:


"A person who actively opposes or is hostile to someone or something; an adversary."


Now, by calling me "antagonist", you're assuming the position of the protagonist, right?

Did it occur to you that word is considered offensive by its subject? You may not know it but calling someone an antagonist suggests the person is hostil to or against a positive view/person/development etc.. So what actually made me the antagonist here, my different opinion? In what way exactly has my own advice, opinion or suggestion tantamounted to antagonism? Or you knew me before? Do you not realise that, if we are actually at the opposite ends of the divide, I might as well consider you to be the antagonist?

I have not gone out of my way to antagonise you or anyone here but even if you consider me to be an antagonist, you must not call me that to my face just for the sake of some healthy or diplomatic exchange of views cause it's offensive, really.

No offence taken though.

Hey man you are not alone on this we are all fighting it. Its the flesh. All I can tell you now is to rechannel your energies, you know what I mean?

Get busy. Do something. Occupy yourself with something relevant for your life. Then never forget to fast if indeed you're a christian, then there won't be time to respond to the naughty hormones remember Romans 8:1

I grew up in a strong Christian family were I was indoctrinated to believe that fornication and masturbation is a sin. Now i'm in my early 20s and the urge to fornicate grows stronger and the only solution is masturbation which is also a "sin". So how do I relieve my self of the urge without comitting any sin?
From ur submission u are what u are courtesy of ur upbringing, meaning u are trying to remain what ur parent has made u think should be right not that u have personal encounter that bring u to the point of personal conviction, your holding on may not last. I will suggest u do the following: 1.give ur life to Jesus. 2.initiate an intimacy with God by spending quality time with on a daily bases to know I'm one on one. 3.begin a descipleship program by; a.having a mentor to guide u who u can report ur life progress in Christ to, b.join the descipleship program in ur church if they have such, c.in that ur daily devotion endeavour to take lesson from every bible passage u read daily and apply them to ur life, learn to listen to the inner voice in u both in prayer and outside prayer, take instruction from inside, christianity is an IN thing not outward. 4.read gospel materials, I will recommend Gbile Akanni, Watchmanni. Mater(ialsI will recommend more to u if u contact me). 5.get to learn about the cross and the resurrection of Jesus (by the time u learn about the cross and the resurrection that demon of sexual urge will fly away). Contact me on mail if my post is of benefit to u.

UchihaMadara:


The underlying principle in both our analogies is discipline, is it not?

As people have already said, you can get married whenever you want. You really don't have to wait to fulfill all your goals before you do, if you know you can't wait.

You could always get a like-minded spouse, that would share your goals. So for instance, if you say no kids, till you are secure at 35, then both of you should be in it together to achieve that and still have a cool marriage.
Agreed that discipline is important in every aspect of human life. But the two scenerios are incomparable. Just like it takes discipline for you not to eat food every hour of the day, so does it take discipline for me to have protected sex only twice or three times a week and not every hour of the day.
Aren't we both disciplined?

Bros u talk as if you are from mars. Which girl in Nigeria will agree to marry a broke guy? talk about fling, maybe, but marriage, u are OYO.
So guys gotta struggle to make money and in the process, konji has gotta be treated.

why is money there when it will lead people to sin? why is sex there if you can get HIV? But when there's discipline, you learn how to tame money, sex and all the other pleasures of life.
