By fleeing it is meant that you depart them, them being youthful lusts, which I saw you say somewhere did not include sexual lust, which is a glaring mistake on your part, since sexual passions are very much included in youthful lusts, and spoken against extensively in Scripture. You yourself have commented elsewhere about how these passions dwindle with age. So you contradict yourself, among other things.

They do lessen with time, but the time to act is in your late teens and before you turn 40. If you do not marry, those deep desires are lost forever. You cannot experience the Song of Solomon.

Act to get married? Then why are you still trying? By your own reckoning it is too late for you.

I doubt the desire for companionship ever fully departs.

But you rarely speak on that when your focus is sex, sex, sex.

It is more than the sex act, it's being one with another and that happens during sex.

I think many Christians have forgotten the importance of physical sex in a person's' life.

More like some have elevated it above and beyond its purpose. That certainly gets argued against.

"For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.” Matthew 19:12 ....not everyone can accept the singles life....I'm one of them. You have to be given the gift to accept it, as Paul said.

Really, so adultery is ok, because it's no one's else's business what a person does in the bedroom.

Your hard of hearing I said married people, One man and one woman. There is no other kind of marriage God recognizes. Adultery

is a sexual sin. Marriage people don't do that unless they are sleeping with some other than their husband or wife. Did you get it?

I am experiencing the Song of Solomon right now and I'm 68 years old.

I do agree however to not waste all of your younger years waiting on the sidelines for a perfect Mr. or Ms. right to drop right into your lap, unwilling to taking a pro-active approach to pursuing a prospective relationship leading to marriage due to fear of rejection or commitment.

This is especially true if you desire to start a family.

It could be, depending on your perception. Physical affection and intimacy can be a very desirable thing, especially in marriage. Definitely an importing aspect in the marriage equation.

Perhaps if the study of the word is practiced certain feelings start to develop. Feeling and emotion are a part of the human condition in which God fully understands.

I took a very pro active approach to dating in my 30's and 40's. I never feared rejection or commitment. When out clubbing I would be one of the first one's to hit the dance floor. I was not shy.

In the game of love you have to be an active participant. You have played your part well. By the grace of God you will find what you are looking for. You have utilized all of the right tools and have prayed regarding this. Sooner rather than later this will happen for you. Happy hunting.
