Hmm, Iamme, you coming on this site reminds me a little of Matt Damon doing janitorial work at Harvard in “Good Will Hunting”… There, something internal was driving Will to be there…like you here. Not sure what it is, however… A different perspective maybe?
In any event, the whole question of sexuality was perhaps the biggest sticking point for me, and I would venture to say that if there is one sticking point for the vast majority of people, it’s the ‘sex thing’. If there were no prohibitions, believe me, I would be trying to meet a different girl every night if I could. That’s not idle chatter or exaggeration. I would really, really, really want to sleep with as many different women as possible – African, European, Indian, Persian, Latin American, Asian, Polynesian – ok, stop…
Anyways, I never actually cared to examine the logic behind the prohibition – after all, it’s just two consenting adults making each other feel really, really good, and really desired, isn’t it? Aren’t you supposed to do kind acts towards others? What is the difference between giving a cold person a warm jacket, or a starving person a ham sandwich, and giving a lonely woman (or in your case, lonely guy) some good lovin? Why is there that line?
I’ve read about this and tried to find a convincing answer, like I mean one that really hits that light bulb in your brain, but I’ve never been able to find one. All I know is that it’s a sin, because God said so. Ever see the Untouchables? At the end, the reporter asks Kevin Costner “Mr. Ness, what will you do if they lift prohibition?” And he says “Probably have a drink.” So he dedicated his life, endangered his family, endured ridicule, and lost friends, all because he was trying to uphold what was the law. This is how I treat the ‘sex thing’.
So even though you are still a virgin, what you are wrestling with is still sex related, don’t you agree? If you do agree, then in a sense you are still wrestling with something that everyone else does too. Granted, in a different form, but still… So if a gay person says something like “Why did God make me feel like this if it’s a sin”, I could ask a similar thing, in a more general sense – “Why did God make me so #%#$ horny?”
In my case, I used to think I could never in a million years give up Internet porn (which is the closest one can get to actually tasting the variety of women I mentioned above). The endless variety, the ease of finding anything you want (I’ve looked at stuff I would be embarrassed to say turned me on, even to my closest friends), and all just a mouseclick away… But all I can say now is that it’s possible. It may take many months, or more likely many years, and many attempts that you or others may condemn as being half-assed, but in hindsight I can tell you truthfully that God is really patient.
You came here for a reason, and you continue to post despite being involved in multiple flame wars. Ask yourself why.
Ok, sorry – if you have read this, then you might think I’m from Babylon, because I keep babbling on and on…
Anyway, God is real, and He loves us all. We are both living proof.
