I am going to stop eating, because I honestly feel God wanted my body pure and uncontaminated by such filth as food. Seriously, if it comes out as shit, it can't be that much better when it goes in.

I agree with u 100%. You don't have to be a Christian to see the value in these principles. Habits formed are very hard to break, especially when involving sex. If you plan to get married, you're becoming one with that one person. But, if you've spent years having sex with a bunch of different ppl (as well as looked at lots of porn), its going to be significantly more difficult to suddenly focus ur mind on a single woman.

I believe in these principles bc I see - and have personally seen - the value and benefit in them. In the times when I've pushed myself to stay away from all things sexual, I've honestly never felt better. It was liberating. Plus, porn/excessive sex tends to focus a person inward/on themself. I became less selfish and more concerned about other ppl when I stayed sex free. Plus, I gained more respect for women.

No judgement here for the record. I struggle with this stuff same as anyone. Its tough. But for me, there's no denying the difference it makes when I've gotten to the point when I was no longer dependent on it.

A million times THAT! Bad sex can and will be a relationship killer. It's lead to a lot of very unhappy people over time and will lead to a lot more. But hey...long as you're pure, why should anyone care that you're miserable and frustrated, no?

Now that's going a bit far... :p

hehe

well, just have to see how good that PS4 is then I guess

Bayonetta 2, sex and gaming all in one. ;)

Thanks for your support.  Yes, it's true. I have seen really sad people get divorces because their sex life wasn't working.  Even when one or both realized they were attracted to the same sex.  I have seen too many homosexuals have a non sexual hetero relationship just because they don't have to deal with it.  Then, after they are married, when one or the other isn’t fulfilled things start to unravel.  Sometimes even 40 years later.

I believe not everyone is meant to be married.  But those that do, and want it, I really want their marriage to last for their life.  I liken it to trying to decide if you want to eat at that resturant for the rest of your life from the parking lot.  Sure it might look and smell good, but what if you hate the noodles?

Also, I have counseled too many (mostly men over 40) that are terrified they will not be able to satisfy their wife on their wedding night.

My wise, very spirtiual mother once said to not go around quoting the bible.  Those that do are usually missing the meaning of the words.

So, you quote two passages that state nothing about pre-marital sex and somehow come to the conclusion that they are saying pre-marital sex is bad.  I'm honestly baffled.  The first quote is just talking about life.  People grow up, leave their parents and become parents themselves.  There's not mention of marriage in that one, only growing up having sex and making babies.  In the second, it's saying that if you are married and want to cheat you are doing something wrong in your heart, even if you don't act on it.  Keep your thoughts loyal as well as your actions.  Good advice.  But nothing about having sex before marriage.  The sort of miss-interpretation of bilbe text that you are doing here is what gives Christians a bad image as being irrational.

There is actually very little reference to sex and/or marriage in the bible.  It's strange how it becomes such an obsession for so many Christians.  There is no description of what we would call a "traditional" marriage in the text, because, well, it didn't exist back then.  There was no gold ring, no white dress, no "till death do us part" in a little white chapel.  There more likely to be some 40 year old man, who's latest wife died in childbirth going over to his friend at the next farm and asking if his 14-year-old daughter could make babies yet.  He'd give him a goat, some chickens and three copper pieces and they would go and make babies.  And pops was glad because he had 13 other kids to feed.

I believe strongly in love and commitment and marriage, and that there is more to sex than the simple act.  It is best when it's combined with respect and caring and kindness.  As humans we're not just animals driven by instinct.  If you are Christian you should believe in love and kindness to others as that is how you worship God.  This should be especially true of a spouse or girlfriend or boyfriend.  You should be loyal - whether they would know or not - and you shouldn't abuse the feelings of love they feel towards you.  If you feel that you can only acomplish true love and respect by avoiding pre-marital sex, that's your choice and I hope it is good for you.  I honestly don't see that there is divine instruction that it's the way to go, and I don't think that it would be right for me, but to each their own as long as it's not harming others.  I just wouldn't make the assumption that people who don't follow your rule that you have created are evil, weak, less Christian or consumed by lust.  That said, if I have daughters one day I will make sure they're virgins till they're 40.

I have a huge penis and I'm not afraid to use it.

The reason we are attracted to attractive people is because those people tend to have better genes. It's simple evolutionary pressures. It's not because we are evil or sinful or anything like that. On a physical level, we are unconsciously attracted to people that will produce healthy offspring. In a relationship, we chose a partner that will make ourselves happy, because we are by nature selfish.
