Struggling with Sexual Purity and Morality.
After having dealt with some issues on the subject I've come to a couple conclusions.
Masturbating is okay. That is the act of it is.
Lusting after men and women is not.
Being attractive to the opposite sex is okay.
Arousing lust in others is not.
Fantasizing over a future spouse is okay.
Lusting over someone you wish was your spouse is not.
Wanting to be wanted is perfectly okay and normal.
Looking at pornography to feel better is not okay- but is remarkably common.
Struggling with sexual thoughts and actions is normal.
But dealing with them on your own isn't a good idea.
bottom line: lust is a natural human feeling. but just because it's natural doesn't make it right.
Notes for anyone who has read this:
these are my beliefs.
I am a Christian.
I don't judge you for being different from me.
Feel free to find your own opinions on the subject.
If you want you can share them with me.
