Some women are on a downward spiral. They need Sex with men on an upward spiral, to feel good. Sex with them pulls you down.

Prov 7: 8-27
...Listen to me now therefore, O you sons, and be attentive to the words of my mouth.

Let not your heart incline toward her ways, do not stray into her paths.

For she has cast down many wounded; [/b]indeed, [b]all her slain are a mighty host. [Neh. 13:26.]

Her house is the way to Sheol (Hades, the place of the dead), going down to the[b] chambers of death.[/b]
Conversely, some women are on an upward spiral, or at least, neutral.

Sex with them lifts both of you up, (especially if you are on an upward spiral yourself)

I don't feel bad about sex at all.

I do not outsource my operating system to religions or other people's opinion.

God gave us a list of those we can and can't have sex with in Leviticus 18.
so I will encourage us to read it and fully understand it.
in all you do, if you think you are God's gift to women, stay away from another man's wife. I repeat, stay away from another man's wife...a word is enough for the wise.

It’s one thing to preach/teach abstinence and it’s another to alter biblical verses to fit your narrative.

It was never on record that Joseph was chaste. What prevented him from sleeping with potiphar’s wife was not a resolve to chastity but rather loyalty to his master.

Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. 5 From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the Lord was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. 6 So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.

Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, 7 and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!”

8 But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. 9 No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. [b]How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?”[/b]

With that said, avoid fornication as you’re graced to handle, may God help us all.
Joseph was chaste. You just quoted the scripture that says so

You forgot to mention some of them are pdfFiles , some others like prostitutes, while some others homophobic gay men.

Bible reading

đź“– Genesis 39: 7_20

Just like Joseph, everyone of us will definitely face sexual temptations; the question is not 'if' we will face them, but 'when' we face them.

The urge to have sex is one of the strongest drives in humans_however it must be noted that the desire for sex is healthy because God Himself gave us sexual impulses for this major reason:

📖 And God blessed them (Adam and Eve), and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth...”
— Genesis 1:28

In other words what keeps the human race in existence is sex. Without it, the human race would have long gone into extinction.

God gave man and woman the desire for sex to reproduce and fill the earth.

This is the major purpose of God for sex closely followed by this second purpose:

đź“– Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
— Genesis 2:24

God gave us the desire for sex to cleave to each other in marriage (emotionally, spiritually and physically) as one flesh.

So both reproduction and cleaving as one flesh are God's purposes behind sex which can only be fulfilled in marriage.

Therefore any kind of sex outside marriage, destroys God's divine purpose behind it.

However, because all humans are wired for sex by God, we face the following sexual temptations daily:

👉Looking lustfully at the opposite sex

👉Watching/reading pornography

👉Masturbation

👉Fornication

👉Adultery

👉Homosexuality


The truth is that if Joseph had slept with his master's wife, he would have lost his glorious destiny!

A lot, and I mean a lot of people over the thousands of years, haven't been able to fulfill God's great destiny for their lives because of the sexual sins listed above.


đź“– There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
— Genesis 39:9

Like Joseph, the best way to handle sexual temptations is to fear God, not casually but wholeheartedly.

Why? Our God is a consuming fire 🔥. (Hebrews 12:29)

Do you truly fear Him?

Paul said I put my body under and if you are having sexual temptations, it's just a means of saying you are ripe for marriage, have your own wife and marry
Marriage is the only legal platform in God's eyes for sex.....

That means if you are a bachelor or bachelorette, you have to learn how to submit and subject your body.

It sure ain't easy.

but you have to be careful to marry a person compatible with you. A lot of people marry wrongly and it ends in divorce.

There's nothing like fleeing. Just work on yourself around women. If you understand that you are not a dog and that you can choose to either have sex with a lady or not - just like the ladies do, you can sleep in the same bed with a naked lady without touching her. Sex is something of the mind; control your mind.

One way to flee from sexual temptation is to pray immediately either in tongues or ask for mercy. Apostle Arome osai told us of many times a particular lady in his office used to come to his office with a powerful perfume but he will pray in tongues so loud and a lady will depart from him. We need the wisdom of others to survive.

Liar! If your prayers worked as you lot claim, how come the rate of sexual crimes remain equally high among you Churchian along with other religious groups? 🥱🥱🥱

A general lack of sexual discipline remains the primary reason why this sexual temptation of a thing is real among your religious folks. 🥱🥱

Re: How Do You Handle Sexual Temptations? by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:19am On Dec 29, 2025
When people say temptation it connotes what they shouldn't do for a reason but tricked into doing it.
Sex is not evil God initiated it between couples and God's word says the couple should see to it that they don't starve each other for sex. 1Corinthans 7:5
The problem comes from uncontrolled desires which is detrimental to our well-being {1Corinthans 6:18} when the Bible says God will judge/destroy people who are practicing immorality {Hebrews 13:4} it doesn't mean God is pained when people have sex but those committing sexual immorality aren't showing appreciation for life because it's unhealthy! Act 15:28-29

Yemoad:

I beg to differ.... politely though wink

The sexual urge can never die. Yes it may be temporarily pacified when we seek God's presence, but it will always resurface once in a while because God put it there for a reason.

This is why many great men of God have fallen to fornication/adultery because they couldn't control their desire.

Self control is the answer. And it's the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Like Paul said, it's better to marry than burn with lust.

So do u think if Joseph was already addicted to sex he would have been able to resist his master's wife persistent temptations?

Deliberately engaging in sin repeatedly and asking for forgiveness is one of the sins against the holy spirit which the bible says it doesn't have forgiveness so don't think you are more smarter than ur creator. Jesus can only die for our sins once not twice.

Please let's consider what Joseph said on the matter:

“Here my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has entrusted everything he has into my care. There is no one greater in this house than I am, and he has not withheld from me anything at all except you, because you are his wife. So how could I commit this great badness and actually sin against God?” Genesis 39:8-9

Between his master and God Joseph was loyal to who? undecided

Been loyal to earthly authorities that God allowed to exist is also loyalty to God Almighty.

Mrexcell:

NO!
Obedience differs from Loyalty.

God's word urged us to be OBEDIENT to earthly authorities {Romans 13:1} because it's God's will that they are stationed until He comes to destroy them. Daniel 2:44

Our loyalty is reserved for God alone! Deuteronomy 6:5; Mark 12:30

For instance God's Son commanded us not to lift up weapons against anyone be it friend or foe {Matthew 5:43-48} while earthly authorities always want to fight against their enemies. So if they seek our loyalty against their opponents we are to remain neutral since we are no part of their strife {John 17:14-16} but when they demand tax and other levies we must obey them since that's what they need to run their government. Romans 13:6-7
Re: How Do You Handle Sexual Temptations? by Baxilexi(m): 8:58pm On Dec 29, 2025
[quote author=Mrexcell post=137943439][/quote]You raised a different issue. Being addicted to sex is a psychological problem and requires clinical attention. In certain societies indulgence in sex whether pre or post marriage doesn’t blur the line between decency and indecency or loyalty and disloyalty.

They’re are many unchaste people that wouldn’t sleep with married women as a matter of principle and not religion. For all you know, there were maids assigned to Joseph to take care of his urges.
