    Got to work for love bro...being a Christian, you know sacrifice comes before salvation.

    So start brushing up those social skills, buy some new clothes, and start checking in with your friends. Maybe someone knows a single girl.

    Good Luck! Happy Hunting!

    forget what that guy just said about christians. I know a verse that can help you. Its a good verse and it talks about lust. Read Proverbs 5 the whole thing and try to memorize it. I have a problem with it too. So ur not alone. Its something we christians struggle with. Hey Im a born again christian too and I know its hard with lusting. Trust me... I know more then you know. Read Proverbs 5 It should help. Pray about it and read it and I hope God may give you peace in your heart.

    It is a normal feeling but one must discipline one self. If you find a woman to love (hope u r a male) than it is better to marry than burn with lust.Pray and ask God to help you not to lust so much and keep your thoughts pure. There are demons of lust who wish you to sin against God and your own body.Stay away from porn ....can a man put fire to his bosom and not get burned?

    Lusting is normal not evil acting your lust out if you are committed are. My suggestion is to take care of yourself untill you find the one. Sex is like Chocolate you can abuse the treat or you benefit from treating yourself when in need.
