God's standard written in the Bible for sexual purity is found in Ephesians 5:3 "But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people." Sounds exhausting, doesn't it? But if you're feeling like the bar is set hopelessly high, don't give up. That's exactly what you should be feeling. God's sets that standard not for the sake of strictness but for the purpose that He loves us. To allow us to turn towards His standard of holiness, His source of power to change, and His motive for fighting against the sin of lust in our daily lives (yes, lust is a sin). This standard applies no matter how culture, society, or even some christian's say on the subject of lust. Sin is sin no matter how much or little a person indulges in it.
