Sexual Desire: Does It Own You or You Own It?

Sexual Desire: Does It Own You or You Own It?Behind every action or act, there’s a cause and effect. Everything a man does in life starts with a desire and when it’s fully utilized or gratified, it would determine the action and in the long run, would bring its consequences or not.
Every act that leads to sex starts with a desire. The desire to kiss, caress and have sex all has its root in the mind. You can’t initiate sex if you’re not in the mood and your partner also wouldn’t response if he or she isn’t having the same desire you had. Is it a crime to have sexual desire or fantasy? Hell no!
God created sex and He wired some hormones that would be responsible to trigger man into the mood. But it’s not a crime for Him to have created it because He gave man the ability to control it.
Regardless of who you are: a believer or an unbeliever, it’s simply natural to have sexual desire but abnormal when the desire determines your action. And the point I’m driving is that does your sexual desire own you or you own it? As ladies, if you follow the direction of your emotions that desires intimate love and acceptance from the opposite sex, you’ll be faced with the consequence that comes after it when the desire wanes.
That you have the desire isn’t a crime but being able to manage it on the grounds of considering the consequence with respect to the temporal pleasure, sinning against God and your body should help you place the desire under check.
Quite a lot of ladies had found means of satisfying their desires and this has led them into relationship where they ended up becoming victims of premarital sex, unwanted pregnancy, masturbation, abortion and the likes. Don’t be slaves to your emotions but master how to control your desire.
It’s better to satisfy the desire when you’re not going to bear its consequences or be afraid of its aftermath in marriage.
Speak to your head rather than allow your heart to lead you into the action that you’d regret afterwards. That desire remains a desire if you speak to it and don’t allow it to control you.

And to the men, I know you’re easily attracted by what you see in ladies – indecent dresses, fair complexion or how ‘endowed’ she is. However, the desire to have sex would be normal or intense when you go carnal or see it as a natural thing to do.

Regardless of the sexual desire you have, it’s unwise to follow the direction of your erection because doing so would destroy your life. A man is not a man if he lacks the ability to tame his desire. And that he choose to tame it doesn’t make him less human. It takes understanding of what is at stake to curb sexual desires. If your desires own you up, the fate of your life can be determined because it would lead you nowhere good. A man that has rule over his desire is stronger than a soldier who captures the city. Temptation doesn’t overcome a man if his desire doesn’t determine his action. Feed your mind with good thoughts rather than the lust of the flesh that would influence sexual desire. Embrace determination, self-control, the fear of God and depend on the strength of the Holy Spirit to overcome without compromise.

Remember, the desire to have sex is normal but when you fulfill the desire, it would determine the kind of consequence you’d face in life. Does your sexual desire own you or you own it?
