Need wise guidance

[Mammachickadee]

Thank you for an excellent article and summary. This is how I believe it as well. I have counselled some young people who could not even imagine that others required sinful fantasies to deal with sexual tension. I really think there is an individual element to it, as you say, "wired" that way.

Sometimes it's habitual and sometimes it's hereditary. Either way, it's very difficult for nymphos to focus on much of anything if it's been a while. I become quite frustrated myself... not a good thing when trying to be an example for a toddler. Which is worse... to not acquiesce to sexual desires for a person by masturbating, or doing periodical maintenance (which is a grey area) for the sake of clearing tension? I don't disagree that Christ can satisfy all needs. Each person much take this grey area (in the case of masturbation without mental sin) and decide for themselves.

Good day Kenisyes, so what do you say is it a sin or not? And to Mammachickadee, are you saying it is not a sin for women?

 

[kenisyes]

Sizzling, you are asking me to draw a line that could get pretty graphic if I do so. The sin is in what you think about as you remove the chemicals. You can glorify God for the gift of sex as will one day be for you (or has been for me), or you can envision who or what kind of person you will be with. The first is no sin, the second is sin. Admittedly, that leaves some middle ground.

thanks Kenisyes. i hope i understood what you saying clearly...

I doubt I would be comfortable being any more clear even in a pm. There's a lot of personal differences in that middle ground. I think the dividing line needs to be placed by each individual after reading the Scriptures about adultery, fornication, etc. It is easier after you have been married.
