I'm not going to tell you what i think you SHOULD do. because that's not what you aksed, right? lol

i act on it usually. or i just do something else like listen to music, go driving, hang out with friends... but i admit, my man and i are easy targets. it's still hard when we're thousands of miles apart. yeah i'm weak. but i'm getting better. God's turning my desires to better things
i may be one of the only people who admit to acting on it but i don't feel like reading the 13 preceding pages about what people have done.

Yeah, actually if you read just the previous 1 or 2 you'd realize the thread is not all about what people do when they are aroused.... but anyway... good luck

Could I ask, what if you aren't sure if you want to get married? What do you do then... if you are serious about the relationship, but you don't know if God wants it or not? (Aside from praying which is always a must )

I would say that if you have been encouraged by individuals in your church congregation, parents, family, friends, etc... that you are emotionally and mentally ready for marriage, knowing essentially what in entails and are mature, then I think the rest of the questions fall into place. If you are truly serious about the relationship, you're a man and she's a woman, you both find one another attractive... God is clearly leading in that relationship. Get married! God's will is not some shrouded mystery that is revealed in visions and dreams, though it has been done that way in Scripture. That's not normative for today.

If you aren't sure you want to get married... then you shouldn't be dating at all, since that is the purpose. Yet if God has given you sexual desire and it is difficult for you to control your thoughts (or your body) then you are "suppose" to marry and you should as soon as you can. Again, if you really aren't sure you want to marry a particular person, then you need to evaluate why you began dating in the first place.

Well, I just happened to read a verse in the Bible partaining to this kind of question. LOL And since you two have ben dating for a while, maybe God is trying to tell you the answer in this verse...

If anyone thinks he is acting improperly to the virgin he is engaged to or he is getting along in years and feels it is time to marry, Then he should get married. 1 Corinthians 7:36

It’s been 15 years, is OP still thirsty? Lol

We have a heart to heart. I tell Him I miss physical intimacy and other aspects of partnerships. If it relates to someone, I admit it. I may discuss my attraction and what I find physically appealing about the person.

In other instances I laugh and acknowledge I’m not called to singleness. Suffering succotash has become my go to phrase in our discourse.
