There was a missionary who had converted an indian to the faith. One day he saw his friend and asked the indian How are you doing John?
John replied not very well today. The missionary said why whats the matter? John replied that there were two dogs in him fighting. His missionary friend said well which one is winning. John replied the one that I feed the most.

Very good story. Maybe it should be reprinted in the Spirituality forum under Most People Go to Hell… since some people seem to think that “feeding their unruly dogs (sins, demons)” will not cause them to lose their salvation…

That title “Most People…” is a negative-sounding one, admittedly, but if it is true (and scripture seems to strongly indicate it is), the subject must be addressed… by all those who would like to get to Heaven… which would be all of us, presumably.

Anyway, i suppose i digress… just meant to say thanks for an interesting “story” or parable…

It also depends on one’s state of mind. Depression can make it go away.

Nothing makes it go away for me!! :whacky: :hypno: Except JEsus… and even then… well, I buried my sexual desires in my love and commitment to Jesus Christ (…Was that ever a difficult process!!):banghead: :hypno: , but that doesn’t mean they are dead… If anything, they get stronger (…the more i don’t “use them”…???).
Weird thing is, the older i get the stronger my desires become… Maybe its because i eat healthier now than i did when younger… Who knows?

Anyway, i certainly will pray that you give your sexuality completely to Jesus, if you haven’t already… Self gratification is a very serious sin with very serious consequences… (some we don’t see or experience immediately… but they are serious consequences nonetheless).
Talk to Jesus all the time… spend time at the Blessed Sacrament… Pray the rossary!! Don’t let the devil drag you into his awful world…
That reminds me… Have you gone to SpiritLessons.com yet??
Very scary stuff!! (concerning the consequences of sin…)
Jesus be with you… Praying for you.🙂
 
i frankly think its a very special gift from God that the sex urge never goes away, to speak of. The body is beautiful the way God made it, even if giving in to its urges can draw us away from Him (and into Hell if we are not careful).
 
15 min after you’re dead 🙂

Or so some confessors have told me.

God Bless

For females, 6 to 8 months after marriage.

For males, never. Even into the after life there are mornings that a cat can’t scratch it.

Hope that helps.

The part about females, I can promise from my own experiences, is not true. 😊
 
You are young. 22 years old? What you think now is not what you’ll be thinking in 10 years. You may very well meet a woman and fall in love. In which case, you will see that “the sexual urge” is a beautiful and valuable thing, not to be wished away. Print this thread and hide it away in a file somewhere, In years to come, when you read it you will not be seeing things the same way. And as far as being able to find the perfect catholic wife…well, many a person has been converted to the faith by the one that they love. I’m not saying that that is what you should do, but if there truely are no girls who “are” good catholics available, maybe God will provide a girl who “could become” a great catholic. Something to think about.
 
Well if you look at it this way…

We all started our lives as an orgasm… So I hope that the coroner fills in the space labeled Cause of Death as “Massive Cardiac Failure”… due to my last!!

(I wanna go out with a smile the undertaker can’t wipe off! 👍 ")

If we were to obey God,s word in what it says about sex we would find it to be far better then what the world could ever tell us. If love is not there then it is no more then a physical act that is hollow .

Thank you so much for that comment!! :clapping:
Paul said that it is better to marry then to burn.

Does this mean burn with desire? Or burn in Hell? Or both?:eek: 🤷

Hmmm… Maybe i was one of those females who was supposed to be a male then - one of those Oprah specials… (?) Because my desires don’t dissipate one bit even though I “killed” them a long time ago for Jesus…
I have learned to live with unfulfilled desires like i have learned to, begrudgingly, live with flies in the summertime… I kill them whenever i see them, but there always seems to be another one coming along to take its place… :ouch: :hypno: :gopray:
Even into the after life there are mornings that a cat can’t scratch it.

For those folks who may not consider the sexual urge a gift, or who want it to go away with age, let’s not forget that we wouldn’t have the Church if it did. If Abraham and Sarah had been dead below the waist when they were in their 90s, Christ never would have come to us. 😉

Another thing to remember is that the FIRST command God ever gave humans was to procreate. It’s not only built into our “animal” side, it’s a special gift from God to our “rational” side as well. The trick is treating it with respect and reverence as it deserves. 🙂

Peace and God bless!

Satisfying sexual urges is no reason to get married. For one, getting married doesn’t guarantee that you will have sex. You don’t know the future, either one of you could end up with an illness, or an accident, where sex is no longer possible.

Hey Jim, I fully agree that marriage doens’t mean that you will be having sex as there are possibilities that would keep that from being possible, however as one person has mentioned now, St. Paul mentions that it is better to get married than to burn.

This quote has always been interesting to me because so many say sex is no reason to get married…which St. Paul seems to be contradicting.

My thoughts on this are not that sex should ever be “THE” reason for getting married, but that it can be “a” reason.

Another way to view it is this:
Sex should never be the reason to marry a specific girl (or guy), but sex (or the possesion/lacking of the gift for chastity) may be good reasons to decide that one should be looking to get married (or not).

If sex really shouldn’t have any impact on peolpe getting married…could someone please explain what St. Paul was talking about?
 
Two words: Strom Thuirmond. He became a father in his 70s.

And to beat that, James Doohan (who played Scotty on Star Trek) became a father at about 80!
