I’ve read various threads on how young people are having trouble with temptations of impurity. Let me assure you that what you are experiencing is very symptomatic of being a young man or woman with raging hormones.(I’m not excusing it. You must still struggle against impurity with the grace of God! :tsktsk: ) I can assure you, however, that such trials in their full strength will not last indefinitely.
I’m about to turn 34 and let me tell you, I have a great deal more freedom in the area of sexuality than I ever had in my teens and twenties. I’d say my sexual drive is about a fourth of what it used to be. That doesn’t mean I still don’t find the opposite sex attractive. It’s just that I don’t have to constantly struggle to remain pure. I can’t imagine what a further relief my 40s and 50s will bring. It does get easier, much easier as you get older. Who says getting older isn’t a blessing? So take heart and realize that such trials are normally associated with the youthful state.
