• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

"And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham." - Matthew 3:9, King James Bible

Sexuality is digusting where I live, because of its unsolicited and highly promoted nature. I was on the train today, and saw two advertisements pertaining to marriage and dating. There are some people who'd be killed by hate gangs for dating. Some people can't even legally marry, where I live.

I like air. Air is all around us, naturally. Air is beneficial. Nobody needs to coerce the distribution of air.

Sex is all around me, but I'm not sure if it's natural. Even if it's natural, that does not mean that it is acceptable or morally correct. Some people can't have sex without breaking religious laws. Sex spreads disease. Nobody would easily voluntarily engage in an activity that spreads disease. Naturally, some people probably would not want sex nor have sex: I am a virgin.

So sex is still all around me, but through somewhat artificial means. Someone had put the romantic sexual advertisements of dating and marriage on the train. Those advertisements didn't spawn naturally. My city gives marriage benefits. There are sexual restrictions to marriage. That connection between marriage and sex proves that marriage is sexual where I live, even because a husband (who can't have sex with other women) would then be very pressured to have sex with his wife due to the local romantic sexual promotion. I've even heard of the term, "maritial rape."

The only good thing of sex is a child. But even a mother can die during labor or childbirth. A baby can die or be unhealthy upon delivery. Or a child can grow to kill his parents, even though christianity tries to prevent this. So there is only a very small likely benefit to sex, a human experiement, in comparison to its many dangers.

Sex is naturally dangerous and bad. And yet for the sake of sowing and reaping children, some societies promote sexuality. They allow romantic sexual advertisements on trains. They give benefits to romantic sexual couples who can produce kids. They teach unsatisfactory sexual education too late, especially knowing that rape and sex crimes are a huge issue for women in a neighborhood. Some societies want people to have sex so that their chldren can be used for armies, labor forces, and materials; and don't care if women die during childbirth or a wild rapist is loss. Even some businesses profit from sex too, through prostitution or romantic sexual advertisements; because some men are victims to lust and have weak self-control.

And that is why I feel that sexuality is disgusting. Luckily I'm strengthening my self control so that I won't be abused by neither societies nor businesses. I can adopt a child to help secure my future: I don't need to have sex.

Christians know that only the Almighty has the true power to grant life. Some societies count populations and encourage sex, to grow and maintain populations. But the Almighty can create human life from stones. And societies, who depend on sex and men, will soon be counting the ever-plagues of the Almighty.

All things in moderation; sex is only bad if you abuse it and make it bad.

If I started a trend of killing people with celery, and it gained traction...does that make celery objectively bad?

Also, I would consider procreation as a secondary purpose of sex. Union between husband and wife is the first.

Sex can be naturally bad because of its pathological features. As long as the Almighty exists, disease will forever be a threat, especially for the poor.

Anyone can get disease, and some diseases are not detectable. Other diseases are unknown and haven't been discovered yet. Some sexually transmitted diseases adapt and evolve to antibiotics, and thus become a constant issue for doctors. Condoms break. Condoms don't provide protection from skin or saliva infections.

If you want to have sex, then go ahead. But I will not. Sex has absolutely no value to me. It's an unnecessary activity, and a dangerous one too. Not only is it a waste of my time, but it can also become a severe waste of my time and life. I know a lot of religious men who abstain from sex and exercise fantastic self-control.

This thread is closed. The Statement of Purpose for this forum includes:

This forum is for members who want to stop a sexual activity or change a sexual orientation in some way. It is for those wishing to make a positive change in their lives because for one reason or another the choices that have been made are impacting negatively either physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually.

This is more debate than asking for help.​
