I think we all think about sex, we are human. no, you are not supposed to lust after someone, that's bad, but to discuss it is not. Will you be punished? Stop thinking of God as this mean, mean person, he's not. Talk to him, he is all understanding. He understands what you are going through. Ask Him to help you keep your thoughts pure.

It is not what you think but what action you decide to take on those thoughts. Whether of not God will "punish" you is very much depending on your belief system. If you believe God will punish you for thoughts then you will find ways to show you that He punished you. When something goes wrong in your life, you will say, "look, I am being punished now due to my impure thoughts about sex". Any can find ways that negative life experiences are "punishments" from God, instead of realizing your actions cause reactions which can be very negative indeed. So, just try to be a decent human being and understand God in not punishing you, your own choices will create negative consequences. change your behaviors and actions to more positive ones and life will suddenly feel so much nicer and better. Also, realize bad things happen to good people all the time, this does not mean Satan has caused these things. Life is about learning and growing, and good things and bad things will cause us to grow.
We come into this world with nothing but our souls, when we die we take nothing but our souls and that which we have added to them while here.

Thinking about sex itself is not unholy. The time it's bad when you think about it, is when you lust after somebody. For example, if you think about a particular situation with a particular person and what would happen, I think that is wrong and God would consider it wrong. Will God punish you? Depends really. If you are a Christian who has accepted Christ as your Savior, God forgives you automatically but asks you to confess that sin to Him so the both of you can work on it. If you are not yet saved, God will punish for all sins, unfortunately. To find out how to go to Heaven when you die, go to: http://www. geocities.com/kjbbible/plan1.html.

I often have to deal with the same problem. Every Christian is tempted by sexual ideas. The key is not to let the thoughts linger in your mind. The bible says that even Christ was tempted in every way, so that He could better sympathize with our struggles. If you are tempted with sexual thoughts, begin to pray about them immediately. Sexual thoughts will come upon a believer as a attack from the devil. The devil will use immoral thoughts to pull you out of fellowship with God. Sexual thoughts are unholy and send a stench up before God. The Lord Jesus said that even the thought of lusting after another man's wife was adultery. You have to exercise the Word of God on your thoughts according to 2 Corinthians 10:4: "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowlegde of God. Bringing every thought captive and making it obedient unto Christ.

Ah, to me sex is something God gave us (obviously, there would be no human race without sex). But you have to keep it holy and do it only with love, and only with the person that most completes you. God doesn't want you to be lustful.
As for punishment, I don't think God will send lightning down on you or anything. It might be worse, you may get an STD (sexually transmitted disease) or even AIDS. But that isn't God's punishment, is it?
Anyways, keep sex holy and don't sleep around.

Although it is a sin to think of having sex with someone you are not married to (I'll explain that in the next paragraph), God knows you are not perfect and he will forgive you if you believe on Jesus Christ that he died for your sin so you can have a close relationship with God. Jesus is like the bridge over the river of sin that keeps us from God.
God loves us so very much. He wants what is best for us. He created sex to be wonderful. But he gave us rules to follow to keep us healthy in both a physical and emotional way. I believe He does not want us to have sex with someone we are not married to because it can lead to both heart ach (if you break up) and disease (by having multipul partners through life).
He also knows that you most likely will not do something you haven't already thought much about. If you think much about that piece of cake in the kitchen, you will probably end up eating it. If you don't think of it at all, and you don't go in the kitchen where you will see it and think of eating it, you will not eat it. Sex is the same. If you think of having sex with people, that is the first step to actually having sex with them. If you don't think of it, you probably won't do it. That is why God says you should not even think of having sex with someone you are not married to.

CHRISTIAN VIEW: it is a sin but God is not going to condem you for it you are eternally his ephesians 4:30 till the day of redemption and is quick to forgive you. You should keep those passions dornment till you get married. But if you find it hard to be faithfull in obeying God I recomend that you ask Jesus for the desire and strenth to fallow him faithfully and be very carefull of what you watch sorounded your self with the right tv, music, and people but in the same time separate yourself from those that can jeperdise your relationship with our father. I recomend you be in complete alert and not give up. Stop your self as soon as any thought pops into your head to be successfull, before you give you flesh a chance to fanticies or get a strong enough lust. Have God completely in all your life and stay in total surrender to him, and youll learn that as you walk faithfully with God instead of trying to stop doing bad things youll just be so full of the things of God and so amazingly fufilled and those old ugly things don't bother you and have no room to be in the middle of you and God. Lean not on your on understanding proverbs 3. dont feel so comdemed about your failures God LOVES you unconditionally, he knows the sind youll comite taday and tomarrow but he still has a plans to bless you and shoe his grace to you. God Bless!!!

Genesis 1:27 states God's command to Adam and Eve: "And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 Further, God blessed them and God said to them: 'Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.' ”
So God created men and women to have children and fill the earth. The only means to do this was by having sex and in order to have sex one must think about it.
Thinking about sex non-stop in a manner that becomes perverted is wrong and often results in criminal behaviour. Refer to the article below for further reference.

so huhmm, god cares about you kinda like a good parent, will your mother punish you once you are an adult ? when you do somethign wrong god dosent beat you up but he wishes and encourages you to try something better. god is about doing right about love not punishment. Didn't Jesus come to forgive sins and didnt he say he came to save the sick not the healthy.

It's natural.
Doing something sexual before marriage is supposed to be a sin, but then again, repenting makes up for it.
Whatever. Just live your life, believe in God, be a good person and it'll all work out in the end.
