sex

My boyfriend and I are both Christian (a faithful one - born and raised in a strong Christian family). However after dating, we find ourselves now keep on struggling with our sexual desire and sin. It started with a normal kiss and hug, then passionate kiss, and now dry humping and touching...

If a woman has played around with a man and done everything sexual but has not been penetrated by him, is she still a virgin?

Hello christian forums. When I was in my early 20's I was in a homosexual relationship with another man. It was a sexual relationship. We did horrible things. But that life is long past me. I have moved on from that. My question is, can I still go to heaven? Am I still a good human being...

I've been studying gender roles in the Bible, and in the process I've stumbled across the problem of homosexuality. In the same chapter of Leviticus (18) that asserts, "‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable," the Lord tells Moses that touching a...

Hi all, I'm very sorry if this is tmi but I need advice. I have been dating a wonderful man for over 9 months. We are both incredibly strong in our decision to wait until marriage, but unfortunately have rationalized until this point that "things leading up to sex aren't actually sex" and have...

Hi all, I was wondering if I could get some clarification on what the Bible would consider as “sex”. I’ve always wanted to stay a virgin until marriage, but am I still considered a virgin if my area has touched her area without actually going in? I’ve already prayed for forgiveness, but am I...

Hi all, (sorry for the long post) I am new to the forums but I have been a Christian my whole life. I have, however, had some struggles for a lot of my life. I'm 24 and married. At a young age I was introduced to inappropriate contentography and since then sexual immorality of different kinds have been a...

Let me start this off by saying I have never been abused in my life. Both my parents are godly loving people, and they did not teach me the things I'm about to say. I simply came to this conclusion on my own. I still have a desire to marry, but the more I learn about how hard it is, the more...

I've always struggled with this. Bible and God preach that lusting is the same as adultery. But how can you fall in love with somebody and decide to marry them without being sexually attracted to them first? Thanks in advance.

I apologize for my spelling I'm typing on my phone. So My husband cheated on me the first year of marriage. It was not an emotional affair with another women. He would come home late from work and I always felt that he was cheating on me and I wanted so bad to follow him to catch him but I never...

When I was growing up I felt straight but when I was 16 (now 19) my libido left me completely one day out of nowhere and it never came back. This was the start of my depression. Every day since I've had anxiety about my sexuality and am mad at God for never helping me when I asked for help and...

I'm going to reveal to my Mum today that I have a horrible habit because I need someone else's help. I know she won't react badly, I'm glad she's so close and understands some of my problems. But I always find it hard to speak. I started yesterday, and then found it so hard she suggested we...

I've been battling terrible sexual urges to...you know...touch and look at inappropriate content. It started after a horrifying incident when I was younger where I stumbled on an immoral image and could never stop thinking about it and soon it became an obsession. I have been slowly pulling away from these...

Since I have approached 40 and had a vasectomy I have struggled more with desires to have sex outside of my marriage. I feel there are parts of my sexuality that remain unexplored and unfulfilled. And that these are unlikely to be possible within the sex life of my marriage. In particular I...

God bless

Hi! I'm new to this site and I don't usually ask for advise about personal problems like this online, but I didn't know who else to ask. My husband and I are both in our mid-twenties. We got married last June and from the first week, I knew something didn't seem quite right. We had sex on our...

I'm 18 and I've been struggling with a while with lust/abstinence. The problem is that there are quite a few girls who've come up and said they were interested in hooking up with me (this guy ... aimirite?) and I've really been struggling with the temptation. I once went to hang out with one of...

To be completely honest, I don't even know why I am here. Two nights ago I could have told you why, but even so here I am. Though things aren't perfect (and never will be) marriage is great. I was blessed to find a wife who pledged to wait till marriage like myself and that is shocking today...
