YOUR SEX DRIVE IS CONTROLLABLE

Men
and women certainly have the strength to control their sexual desires.
Sexual feelings do not just happen. Something or someone sparks them
off. To control them, you must control their sources. Avoid or control
the things that you have noticed trigger them. Open your eyes and learn
to know yourself honestly. If you play with fire, it will burn you. The
following safe guards will help you to control your sexual drive:
1. Avoid pornographic books, websites, magazines, films, and things that
you know stimulate you for sex. People can become slaves by surrounding
themselves with naked pictures.
2. We live in a world where women especially tend to dress almost
completely naked. If you come across any of those women in the office,
school, or market place, please do not look at them twice. Be
disciplined and take your eyes off finally. Do not go and begin to
fanaticize about the hot legs and big breast. Ladies should learn to
avoid sexual molestation as long as attracting the wrong men by wearing
clothes that cover sensitive parts of their body like the breast, chest,
shoulder, and thigh.
3. Avoid friends that encourage you to engage in premarital sex because
their aim is to destroy you as they have destroyed their own lives. It
requires a lot of courage but do it. It is better to have no friends
than to have friends that will lead you astray.
4. Youths often wonder how it feels like to have sex. Sheer curiosity
often leads people into trouble, so just try to control your curiosity.
An old saying says, ‘Curiosity kills the cat’.
5. When sexual thoughts fill your mind, do not get upset at first.
Realize that thoughts in themselves do not hurt, unless you gladly
welcome them. Quietly turn your attention to something else and do not
let them linger for a long time. Read an educative book or movie,
participate in any sport of your choice just for fun, or do a physical
work like washing clothes or cleaning the house.
6. If you are inclined to being lazy, get busy. Make the best use of
your time and you will have no time to think about or engage in sexual
exploits. Visit a zoo, attend a music school, learn decoration, visit a
wise friend and you can learn any skill of your choice. Remember the
saying” An idle man is the devil’s workshop.”
7. Avoid intoxicants of any sort.
8. Avoid wild parties
9. Keep your mind plugged on the word of God. It is God’s thoughts.

In spite of all of these precautions, you may sometimes find your sexual
desire as strong as to be almost overpowering. If this happens to you,
do not be afraid. These feelings are perfectly natural and no matter how
unpleasant they appear to you, they make you no different from any one
else. As long as you do not deliberately encourage them, they are
neither sinful nor a weakness. Though the struggle continues, never
give up! You will conquer.
