PhuturePriest Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 [quote name='r2Dtoo' timestamp='1339792228' post='2445150'] I have tried living this life before myself it does not work, and is just flat out embarrassing besides. I mean telling a man twice my age that I masturbate, and how often I do it when I'm like 14, seriously? Why? And no, that he can't repeat it outside the Confessional didn't make it any less embarrassing. Once more, it didn't work, I tried everything I could think of, I got rid of vulgar music and started listening to Christian music, I prayed as often as I could, I tried working out, I tried everything for almost 10 years and [i]nothing helped[/i]. Those desires did not go away. Maybe they do for some of you here that's great, but not everyone can do that. [/quote] So you are applying your own experiences to every person on the planet? Just because you have problems with self-mastery does not mean every person on the earth needs sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I got engaged and was like "whoa I need to shape up for my soon to be wife". It was a struggle and I wasn't perfect. Then I got married, and [b]it was still difficult. [/b]Easier, but difficult. A wife is not a machine used to serve the man's desires. Finally it's not a problem anymore, but [b]it wasn't easy, it wasn't quick, and just being married isn't what cured it.[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "once more" was me reiterating that it did not work which I mentioned in the earlier sentence. [/quote] Everyone can be celibate because everything is possible with God. That was my point. Some people are not called to be and that is fine, but they could remain celibate technically. It doesn't work after a few tries. You were in the Navy, you should know when you get knocked down you get back up on the horse. If it doesn't work at first, try it again. It will work eventually. It is not easy, it never was easy, and nobody claimed it was easy. I know just how not easy it is. But you know what? I tried again and again, and I eventually learned self-mastery. It's been almost a year now without one problem. It's possible. The question lies within how dedicated you are. It is of course easy to lose hope. I lost hope many times. But you try anyway. I know some people that had to try for fifteen years and they finally quit for good. I was a fortunate case and it was only a problem for me for three years. Every person is different and some struggle more. But that doesn't mean you get the luxury to quit, and it definitely doesn't give you the right to claim everyone needs sex because you have self-mastery problems.
