The Sex Drive – What To Do About It! (Part 3)
This article
contains graphic language related to love, sex, relationships
and marriage.
What do you do about your sex drive and how do you avoid
all of the dangerous and deadly sex traps hidden within the
sexual danger zone?
Here are the answers…
Driving Your Sex Drive Is Easy
as A-B-C!
Controlling your sex drive and avoiding the
sexual danger zone is easy as A-B-C. There are three simple
steps you will need to take. You must:
- Avoid
- Believe, and
- Carry Out!
You Must Avoid Men And Women
Who Are Sexually Misguided
To avoid means to: 1. To stay clear of; to shun 2. To keep
away from; to keep clear of; to endeavor not to meet, and
3. To abstain from. When it comes to sex, you must avoid sexually
misguided men and women at all costs. If you do not, these
individuals will inspire, trick, lure or seduce you to ruin
your life. Who is on the list of the sexually misguided?
The list includes but is not limited to most sex experts,
relationship experts, love experts, and misinformed politicians.
It also includes peer pressure from a potential mate or from
misguided parents. It includes the media, music and Hollywood,
and organizations that openly peddle sexual immorality such
as Planned Parenthood.
Why must you avoid these individuals, organizations and outlets,
and the people they influence? Their philosophies concerning
love, sex, relationships, and marriage will land you in the
center of the sexual danger zone. What exactly do they believe?
Take a look...
“Why is sexual innocence such
a valued trait in a mate?”
“Losing your virginity is not
a big deal no matter what anyone tells you. Get it over
with as early as possible and be done with it.”
“Any knowledgeable, trained
theologian will show you that the Bible DOES NOT teach against
pre-marital sex! In fact, many of the disciples used to
have public orgies! The ministers who falsely claim the
Bible teaches against pre-marital sex are merely proselytizing
our society with their self-imposed archaic dogma.”
“I don’t understand the
value our obvious primitive society has placed on virginity
at marriage… virginity is not a sign or purity or
virtue.”
“It is impossible to remain
sexually pure… no one can do it!”
“If children were taught to
enjoy their sexuality at an early age, we would have less
unwanted pregnancies, less STD’s, less fatherless
homes and fewer abortions.”
“Having sex outside of marriage
has nothing to do with your character or morality.”
“Go slowly and choose someone
whom you find not only attractive but compatible and good
company. And go on a few dates first before you give it
up.”
“A new day has dawned…
men no longer want to marry a virgin anymore, they want
a woman with sexual experience!”
“Seriously, I don’t get
it… What is it with this relatively new cult of virginity?
Natural virginity, reborn virginity, repentant virgin…”
“Morality aside, what is the
advantage of being a virgin on your wedding day?”
“Concerning homosexual men
and lesbians marrying, one mayor said… "I think
we're on firm legal footing and legal grounds, and certainly
I believe very strongly and passionately we're on the right
moral ground."
“Why is the state of a person’s
body used to measure the purity of the person?”
“Losing one's virginity is
the final frontier… it is the rite of passage into
the adult world of sexuality.”
“We must push to get girls
equal footing with boys in terms of sexuality, we MUST get
past this false notion that it is morally wrong to enjoy
sex outside of marriage!”
Those startling questions and appalling statements were made
by an assortment of relationship experts, politicians, marital
therapists, sex experts, adjunct professors, and other individuals
recognized as leaders and promoters of the sexual revolution.
Those are the type of beliefs fostered by the men and women
who are the driving force behind the sexual revolution.
They claim if you teach a child to become sexually active,
our society will have less STD’s, fewer abortions and
less unwanted pregnancies. That is like saying, if we legalize
drinking and driving, we will have less vehicle accidents.
They say men no longer want to marry a virgin. What kind of
men did they survey to come to that conclusion? Porno distributors,
drug pushers and pimps? They also said they see nothing morally
wrong with homosexuals marrying each other. These beliefs
and others similar to them are the foundation of the sexual
revolution.
The Sexual Revolution, Is It
All That?
One way to define a revolution is: a total or radical change
in one's circumstances way of thinking, or living. Focus your
attention on the phrase: radical change. What they have changed
from is the standard of God revealed in the Written Word. This
sexual revolution has brought about a radical change to the
way many people in our society view love, sex, relationships,
and marriage. Today’s sexually revolutionized females
flaunt their newfound freedom by randomly revealing their
nakedness to complete strangers. These females gladly bare
all at events such as the Mardi Gras, the world-renowned college
spring breaks, on Girls Gone Wild videos, on the Howard Stern
Show, in pornographic magazines, at nightclubs, virtually
anywhere.
Like their role models, they will have sex with a stranger,
marry a lothario, move-in with a philanderer, or become some
man’s temporary booty call at the drop of a dime. These
females seem to take on these mindsets. If Jennifer Lopez
can have two divorces and a string of lovers and still have
fun, “Why can’t I?” If Britney Spears can
lose her virginity to one man, have a prolonged, open-mouth
lesbian type kiss with a female on public television, and
then have some major fun by getting married and divorced in
55 hours, “What’s wrong with me expressing my
sexual freedom?” They reason within themselves, if Kim
Cattrall, the actress who plays the eternally horny diva on
HBO’s Sex and The City, can in real life, be divorced
three times and still have multiple boyfriends, and apparently
suffer no consequences, “I can too!”
The sexually misguided men fare no better. The have absolutely
no morals, little or no family values, no concept of integrity
or fidelity, and no respect for the female gender. Most of
these men learn their misguided views about sex at an early
age. Once they are indoctrinated into the sexual revolution,
they will have sex with under aged girls, participate in orgies,
have one-night stands, keep multiple sex partners, and some
of them will experiment with homosexuality. In the end, their
contribution to society will be measured by:
(a) The number of fatherless children
their sperm is used to bring into this world
(b) The number of people they
infect with sexually transmitted diseases
(c) The number of women they
commit date rape and acquaintance rape against
(d) The number of women they
force or coerce to get an abortion
(e) The number of women they
force or coerce to have a miscarriage
(f) The number of women they
glibly marry and then vigorously divorce
(g) The number of women they
impregnate then abandon
(h) The number of women they
commit domestic violence against
While these misguided men and women are exercising their
sexual freedom, they are leaving a devastating wake of destruction
in their paths. The alarming STD rates, suicides, paternity
fraud cases, divorces and abortion statistics overwhelmingly
verify that point. The problem is – sexually misguided
men and women know the statistics, but they have ingeniously
trained their minds to ignore them. They have become experts
at refuting the truth. With condoms, birth control pills,
spermicide and Ortho Evra patches in hand, they adamantly
repudiate and flippantly disregard the possibility of becoming
pregnant, contracting an STD, getting their heart broken,
or having their emotions dragged through the unmerciful lover’s
gauntlet.
In light of the Word of God and in spite of the alarming
statistics, these men and women cast off all restraints, throw
all caution to the wind and freely subject themselves to hazardous
relationships and risky sexual encounters. I listened intently
to one twenty-one year old man, (I’ll call Michael)
right after he took his second HIV/AIDS test in less than
a year. Michael is a heterosexual male who clearly understands
that he is jeopardizing his health, life, and future by having
multiple sex partners. But like all sexually misguided men
and women, he was willing to live with those risks. Read what
the Word of God says about men like Michael:
Proverbs 7:7
And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the
youths, a young man void of understanding,
God classifies Michael as one of the simple ones. Simple-minded
men will see a sex trap but like a lamb to the slaughter,
they will walk into the snare with their eyes wide open. For
their lack of discipline, these men will pay a hefty price…
Proverbs 5:22-23 AMP
22 His own iniquities shall ensnare the wicked man, and
he shall be held with the cords of his sin.
23 He will die for lack of discipline and instruction, and
in the greatness of his folly he will go astray and be lost.
Like all sexually misguided men and women, once reality sets
in and their risky relationships, booty calls, hook-ups and
sex based marriages, metamorphoses into ghoulish nightmares,
these misguided men and women inevitably end up where God
said they would eventually find themselves: depressed, filled
with deep regret and anguish, suicidal, crying in the dark,
bitter, mad at women, and angry with men.
Proverbs 5:11-14 AMP
11 And you groan and mourn
when your end comes, when your flesh and body are consumed,
12 And you say, How I hated instruction and discipline,
and my heart despised reproof!
13 I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers nor submitted
and consented to those who instructed me.
14 [The extent and boldness of] my sin involved almost all
evil [in the estimation] of the congregation and the community.
Is this sexual revolution all that it is portrayed to be?
The answer is: “Yes, it is pleasurable for a season
but when that season is over and the season of pain, heartbreak
and suffering comes rushing in like torrential flood, many
sexually misguided men and women will finally break down and
acknowledge the truth. Before their downfall, they are some
of the boldest individuals you will ever meet! Do you remember
Norma McCorvey? She was the woman who vigorously filed the
Roe versus Wade lawsuit for abortion rights. Twenty-five years
later she has reversed her position on abortion. Why did she
change her mind? She said she had grown, "tired of the
lies and deception and decided to come out and tell the truth."
That is how the people who fuel the sexual revolution operate.
They will literally swear by their safe sex training. Yet
when they test positive for the HIV virus, or when Herpes
lesions break out on their genitals, or they are told they
have contracted HPV, in spite of using condoms and practicing
safe sex, their boldness quickly turns to bewilderment. When
the women are told they have contracted PID, or that they
will never have children because of the residual effects of
their abortion, that is when disillusionment sets in. That
is why you must avoid these individuals at all costs. Do not
become one of them and do not allow any of them to influence
you! The next step you will need to take is…
You Must Believe What The Word
of God Says About Sex
It is critically important that you understand this next point,
so read it carefully… It is not the will of God for
you to fall into any of the sex traps. Please write that down!
The Lord does not want you devastated by a sexually transmitted
disease, broken hearted or bitter over a busted relationship,
or suffering from paternity fraud or a victim of date rape.
The primary line of defense the Lord has given you to protect
yourself from avoiding sex traps is: you must believe what
the Written Word of God says about sex. To believe means to
have firm faith in. What does the Word of God say about sex
and sexual immorality? Read it carefully…
I Thessalonians 4:1-9 NIV
1 Finally, brothers,
we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as
in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the
Lord Jesus to do this more and more.
2 For you know what instructions
we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
3 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you
should avoid sexual immorality;
4 that each of you should learn
to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable,
5 not in passionate lust like
the heathen, who do not know God;
6 and that in this matter no
one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The
Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already
told you and warned you.
7 For God did not call us to
be impure, but to live a holy life.
8 Therefore, he who rejects
this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives
you his Holy Spirit.
We are commanded to avoid sexual immorality and you must
have firm faith in that command. In verse 8, God makes it
clear. The men and women who reject this command are not rejecting
man, nor or they rejecting laws established by men, they are
rejecting Almighty God! In verse 5, God calls the individuals
who reject His Word, heathens or pagans. No wonder the consequences
of disobeying God’s commands are so devastating. If
you do not firmly believe what God said about sex, you have
by default, thrust yourself into the sexual danger zone. He
further commands us…
1 Corinthians 6:18 AMP
Shun immorality and all sexual looseness [flee from impurity
in thought, word, or deed]. Any other sin which a man commits
is one outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality
sins against his own body.
II Timothy 2:22
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith,
charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a
pure heart.
The statistics will verify that the majority
of the men and women who disregard or reject these commands,
find themselves drinking from the bitter cup of regret. You
cannot ignore or disobey the commands of God and righteously
expect your love life to be a picture of romantic tranquility
or marital bliss. After you have firmly believed what God
has said about sex, you must take the final step, which is…
You Must Carry Out The Word
of God In Your Life
To carry out means to: 1. To put into practice or effect.
2. To follow or obey: carry out instructions. James, prompted
by the Holy Spirit, put it like this:
James 1:22-23
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he
is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
To avoid the sex traps and stay out of the sexual danger
zone, you must be a doer of the Word of God. In other words
you must shun sexual immorality and you must flee fornication.
Paul, prompted by the Holy Spirit, put it like this…
1 Corinthians 9:27
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection:
lest that by any means, when I have preached to others,
I myself should be a castaway.
It is your responsibility and your spiritual and moral obligation
to bring your body into subjection. God has given each of
us an irrevocable mandate to make our flesh submit to the
will of God, (See Romans 6:12, Romans 8:13 and I Corinthians
6:20). If you fail or refuse to bring your body into subjection,
I promise, your flesh will run buck wild! You will look back
and see a trail of emotional trauma and heartache. However,
if you take these three steps: (a) Avoid sexually misguided
men and women. (b) Believe what the Word Of God says about
sex, and (c) Carry out the Word of God in your life, you will
never be snared into the sexual danger zone. When you take
all three of these simple steps, it will be said of you…
Romans 6:14
For sin shall not have dominion over you…
