Question Posted Wednesday August 31 2011, 11:26 am
I am a 19yr old virgin guy who masturbates often but I really don't want to do it. I get the desire to have sex and end up masturbating but I feel very DIRTY after 'doing it' because of my religious background. I have tried hard to stop masturbating when I get the urge to have sex but it hasn't worked. And I really would love to keep my virginity. What can I do to be at peace with myself?

Jesus Christ came to magnify the Law Isaiah 42:21…He magnified that Law by saying, Matthew 5:28….Paul an Apostle of Jesus stated 2 Corinthians 7:1 …..Revelation 22:14 reemphasizes what Jesus said in Matthew 7:21….. Jesus said in John 14:15,24…..You can resist those urges….before Cain killed his brother God spoke to Cain and said Genesis 4:6-8….(emphasis on verse 7) ….. Philippians 2:13….. Never forget….John 15:1-10 and Revelation 14:12….

You can try to concentrate on other things, you can try to occupy yourself when you're feeling horny, and you'll leave messes on your sheets regularly from nocturnal emission if you don't take care of it some other way.
There's really no harm in it. Sexuality wasn't meant to be repressed and religion knows that which is why it trained you to feel dirty in the first place. It's an easy way to guarantee you feel like you need to be saved regularly because your natural biological urges become evil to you.
Best course of action would be to accept that masturbation is a normal part of an emotionally and mentally healthy male's routine so you don't hate yourself anymore.
