question about sex for Christians.?
Im a Christian myself, but sometimes I do question some things. First off, sex is a natural urge, and I can agree that waiting for marriage is better, but what if someone can't marry. What if nobody ever liked/loved that Guy enough to marry. He can get a girlfriend but never marry. Is he supposed to go his entire life without one of the greatest gifts God ever gave us. Now another question goes for the teenagers. They can't marry at 14 or 15, and sexual urge is a big part of those ages, so masturbation. Why would that be a sin. If you think of a particular person I can understand. But I think it would be better to "release" than act upon it. For me it doesn't make sense if I put these questions in this manner. Going your whole life without sex would be a mistake. And for the younger people, they would have to go years fighting the 3rd strongest urge humans have. So what do you think, do the rules still apply, is it stupid, smart. Let me know your opinions. Thanks.
im sorry i guess have should have mentioned it, but this question doesnt apply to me, it applies to anyone really.

we can control our urges to have sex
yes we must never have sex out side of marriage
mastrubation is wrong and a sin also
Ephesians 5:3
3 [a]But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as it becometh Saints,
Galatians 5:19-21
Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
19 The wrong things the sinful self does are clear: committing sexual sin, being morally bad, doing all kinds of shameful things, 20 worshiping false gods, taking part in witchcraft, hating people, causing trouble, being jealous, angry or selfish, causing people to argue and divide into separate groups, 21 being filled with envy, getting drunk, having wild parties, and doing other things like this. I warn you now as I warned you before: The people who do these things will not have a part in God’s kingdom.

masturbation is okay as long as it does not get in the way of your relationship with god. Also, don't be ridiculous bud, i am sure a sweet pretty girl will want to marry you. Try going to a christian college when you are out of HS.

sex
1- is ... sacred ... only for married couples.
2- do not be unequally yoked ... God does not like His child married to satan's child.
3- sex outside of these situations is sin
teenagers n sex
you either accept God's way of life ... or do it your lawless way which leads to death.
i've always said that masturbation is natural ... to release but whilst at it, do not lust.
preachers who teach ... masturbation is a sin ... is ludicrous preaching, methinks.
people like you who argue against The Law ... cannot change it one bit.
you either follow or disobey ... freewill

First thing I would say is that it is sad that so many bad preachers go around telling young people that intimacy is a sin. Christ came to set people free, not put them in bondage. Real Christians are free spirits and enjoy great liberty in all things.
Now, to your question...
It all comes down to love vs. lust.
Lust is selfish, say like a one night stand.
Love between a responsible young adult couple is something totally different than selfish lust. True, many traditionalists and purists will say that a couple should get married, but in the real world I think God understands and as long as you are participating in true love, and not lust, I don;t think He has a problem with it. This is my oppinion as a student of the bible and Christian.

Sex is one of the most natural things in the world. Now I don't believe it's a sin. This is my opinion. I believe if you are supposed to follow the bible, you are supposed to interpret it in your own way. Plus, masturbation in boys starts when they are just born, it's just natural.

The traditional Christian view of sex is perverse. Do whatever you want, as long as you act responsibly.

Become a priest then you can have sex whenever you like.
