I have never believed that oral sex in the context of marriage is sinful. I have always believed that God created men and woman to be united in marriage and to enjoy each others' bodies in whatever ways they pleased so long as it did not cause harm to either individual or lust for some third...

They decided not to be with you because of IBS and back pain!?!? To me that almost sounds like some sort of an excuse to get out than it does a legitimate reason. Neither of those are things that I would consider "disabilities." Both are highly common. I would keep this in mind and ponder on...

I don't understand why marriage is so out of the question. Will it be that much harder to get coverage for your disability if you are married? If this is who God wants you to be with (and I'm not entirely sure it is if she is refusing to accept your convictions to remain pure until marriage)...

Most televangelists make me sick...like, literally, sick to my stomach. I could rant for days about the disgusting mockery of the church, abuse of the ignorant, and greed for wealth exemplified by many of them. I won't though. My church even dedicated the majority of one of their teachings to...

These articles are interesting, but I don't agree that they necessarily suggest that men and women are both equal in terms of visual sexual stimulation (or other cognitive functions.) True, social "priming" could be a factor and clearly is capable of having a role, but the first study clearly...

OP, I would recommend keeping in touch with some of the guys who posted on here with similar struggles. Although I myself have not struggled with such things, I have friends (male and female) who have struggled with inappropriate content addiction and other even more intense addictions. Other...

Thank you again, Teg, for such a thought out response. :) God bless.

I'm excited to see them! Thanks! :)

That is an interesting study, and I thank you for sharing it. :) However, it is not a comparative study between the sexes which is what our original discussion centered on. I agree that social conditioning plays a large role in gender identity. However, even aside from the articles utilizing...

Yes. :)

I don't agree with legal intervention regarding dress either. I think requiring the hijab by law in the Middle East regions that do is painfully wrong. I will gladly defend the free will that God gave us! I'm merely suggesting why I personally feel compelled to dress modestly. :)

This is pretty deep and speaks volumes towards an answer to Jane's questions... Also, the fact that we have the desire to know answers to these questions, the fact that we recognize that we are significantly different from all other animals, the fact that we care enough to seek meaning...

My point is that differences between the sexes do exist. Although some differences are socially imposed, the fact still remains that the psychological response in question is little more than an offspring of biology (the brain is just as much an organ as the ball or ovary, heart or kidney)...

Men and women differ in amygdala response to visual sexual stimuli - Nature Neuroscience http://homepage.psy.utexas.edu/HomePage/Group/MestonLAB/Publications/brain.pdf Archives of Sexual Behavior, Volume 19, Number 3 - SpringerLink (**Read abstract of this article to understand relevance)...

I would define modesty exactly as I did in my post, as being based upon cultural interpretations of what is overtly sexual. I'm sorry...but yes. It's a pretty solid fact that men are more sexually stimulated by visual imagery than are women. If you want me to back this statement up with...

First of all, it's so awesome that you have decided to enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ! Congratulations on making such an awesome decision! :) In terms of your relationship with your boyfriend, you are right in being mindful of your need to be on the same page with him. It's crucial...

I'll agree that Western women tend to overdo it a lot in terms of dressing immodestly. Let's be honest: men are far more visual when it comes to sexual stimulation. It's nature, it's biology. Knowing this, it is really pretty messed up for women to flaunt themselves about in front of men...

24 is not too young to get married. Pray about it and do as you feel led by God.

I think sex should only occur in a marriage relationship. To whoever said that the lovers in the Song of Solomon weren't married: they were. Song of Solomon 4:8 says, "Come with me from Lebanon, my bride..." Song of Solomon 4:9 says, "You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride..." 4:12...

Thank you, Teg, for your thought out responses. They are very much appreciated. My response to the innocent children question is this: if it were God's desire that I do such a thing, then I would. I trust God and I trust that His will is supreme. However, I know that such a thing would never...
