Sometimes I can't take it

[Lady Bug]

Sometimes the sexual desires are way too much for me. I get fleeting moments of thinking "I can't take this anymore. I need it right now, why can't someone be here right now, I need that contact or else I don't know how much longer I can take this."

I try everything, prayer, the scripture, it's not helpingI avoid whatever occasions of sin I can. I don't watch any TV shows, I don't like most of the music I hear so I don't listen to it, I don't go to any movies, etc. The fantasies get overbearingI've been exercising more too and I've noticed my sexual drive skyrocket every since (it isn't just b/c of the exercise though), which is what I really don't need or want

there are so many times where I want to watch an adult movie or something but I know it would make everything a zillion times worse.

please pardon me if this looks too personal. I noticed a single man libido thread but I had to put my 2 cents in and say how much I'm struggling as a female.

Hey there!

I am 19 male and experience exactly the same... I was praying, avoiding everything, which could arose lust, not looking at girls more then 3 sec ... However, God showed me the right path... After watching The Karate Kid, I joined Aikido club. Its techniques helped me to concenrate and avoid this awful drive. After 3 months lust was completely eliminated from my mind.

Aikido is based on "love" to your enemy. Technically, there are no strikes/punches in this art. However, with help of its blocks and different stances you can revert enemies aggression against himself. I dont know how...but aikido and prayer just clinsed me. I simply have no desire to fall in flesh again.

Feel free to pm me.

God bless you!

Avoiding unnecessary stimulation is sensible. But your natural bodily functions will still be there nevertheless. Just as physical hunger can desire food, or our minds some intellectual stimulation, so our sexuality can desire sexual satisfaction. That's just one of the more uncomfortable aspects of single sexuality which is not always easy to live with.

But you are not being sinful in any way merely by having such desires. they are expresssion sof normal sexuality, not unholy lusts.

I have had a lot of problems with sexuality in my life. I really miss sex and that's why I came on this forum. I'm trying to be good but sometimes it's very hard and I remember what it feels like to be held, to be loved. I try to tell myself to just forget about relationships and sex and everything but it's very hard because I have so many fond memories <staff edit> and sometimes it's hard to convince myself that these things really do have profound consequences.

We are all part of the body of Christ as brothers and sisters. I believe he wants us to share each others burdens and pray for each other for healing, strengh and peace. When I was young I did not have same sex attraction until I answered a 900#. Since then it has been difficult to stop as I no it is wrong. I ask you Lord God toanswer the prayer of your children according to your will in Jesus name.
