I just came down stairs and got on the computer because I couldn't stand to watch all the sexual stuff on TV. I flip between channles and no matter what I am watching something is yelling sex at me. The problem is that my brain wants to think like that too but I do not want it to. Partialy because im christian and secondly I have a girlfriend and I really shouldn't be thinking about any girls in that kind of way and I shouldn't be thinking of her like that because I am just a teenager. So what am I to do because I think trying to avoid all the sex on TV and such would be absurd because that would be impossible in todays society. Any andvice on how to keep my brain away from thinking about anything of that nature?

Read a book. Try "Moby Dick" No sex, but lots of fun.

Wow. I don't have the first clue on this one. I don't see how being a Christian should preclude you from seeing sexual images on tv or anywhere else. Or how having a girlfriend should make you think you shouldn't look at other women... I suppose that you should stay off the computer, because there's a chance you might inadvertantly come across some sexual stuff. If you're young, it's going to be hard for you not to think about sex - that's normal. Your hormones are in an uproar right now. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to get a hobby that will take your mind off it. Pick up a book. Call a friend, write a letter, start a journal... But I wouldn't worry too much.

Take a walk, go for ice cream, go the the park with friends. Get games out and invite friends over of both sexes. Also, it's important to ask God for His help. Ask Him in prayer seriously to help you keep those thoughts from your mind so that you can keep His commandments. He will help you if you truly ask and sincerely believe.

Read books! I am a Christian also and I read all the time. One of my favorite Christian authors is Terri Blackstock. I have read almost all her books. They are about everyday life but Ms. Blackstock is not fanatical...she will not try to shove Christianity on anyone. Her books hold my interest, too. I hope this helps and I hope you love to read because you will enjoy her immensely. Good luck and keep on reading! God bless!!

That is natural to be thinking about sex. Sex is on the Internet too and its on the Internet much more then it is on t.v. Set your parental controls on your t.v. so that you can block out sexual content. (or have your parents do it) Get a life and think about other things and not just about sex.

Just try to keep your mind focused on spiritual matters. I've heard it helps that when you start thinking those type of thoughts that you can pick up a bible, or a bible based publication and try to fill your mind with spirtual things.

You really have to carefully select television programs. Like you said, it's screaming at us everywhere. You have good parents that have raised you well. Stay on the straight and narrow path. May God Bless you.

Fill it with other thoughts. Good music, scriptures, good books. Call an uplifting friend. Pray, sincerely, and ask Heavenly Father to help you.

No human can stop their natural instincts. We all think about it, but that doesen't mean we are gonna cheat on our partners.
Simply turn the TV off cos it's crap.

you might try expanding your horizons as it seems you need to take a walk in the woods, swing in a swing look at the moon stars and sky. explore the wonders of the universe and meditate while Praying. perform acts of kindness for others and place GOD above all in your life.
