Can You Abstain? by nabsta: 11:15pm On Jan 25, 2012 |
They say', body no be wood, ' but apparently its not a rag either, in counselling women(single and married) i find that abstinence is considered virtual reality, those that havent started doing are looking foward to doing, and those that have done have no intention of stopping. Some people tell me that if you can do without, its because you have no experience or lack the experience of real pleasure. Now, If you are a practising Christian and single, abstinence is supposed to be the rule and holiness the ideal. But contemporary opinion has suggested that its impossible to abstain and that if people say you are abstaining, its probably a lie. I think its possible but only by God's grace, if you try it on your own, its bound to fail, 10times out of 10. What do you think? Does abstinence have a place in our society? And how are Christians faring in this regard? Is your body wood? Or a rag? |

Have done it a couple of times. Sometimes just to prove to myself that i can do it. Sometimes i'm just being perverse It's all in the mind. The flesh maybe weak, but the mind can most often override such. You also have to be strong of will. |

mind over matter, hmmm, personality and sex drive may also be important, some people don't really like to do, while others thrive on sexual activity, , but i can only believe you all if you can truthfully say you've been having great sex lives ab initio, |
