I just can't imagine being chaste. Sex is a very powerful urge, like the way salmon swim up river to mate. And it always seems that religious institutions that condem sex are always being exposed as temples of 'sin' within. I doubt any religion could 'cure,' my desire, as I doubt that they could even curtail their own. How does one do that, subdue their biological drive. What could possibly be more enjoyable than sex?

I think tht recieving the Holy Spirit is a greater feeling than sex. But that's not saying tht sex isn't really, really good at times.
As far as it being a sin, it depends on what you do with it. If you never had hurt someone by having sex with them, or hurt someones family by doing it, I understand what you are thinking.
It doesn't seem like sex should hurt anyone, but it can! That's why it's best that people have sex only with those that are available. I have seen a few families destroyed by it. One wife stopped eatingt for a time because of her distress. It affected everyone at work, because the guys wife would shop at the store I was working at. I would see her, an extremely attractive young woman who really loved her husband, getting cheated on and we knew it.
And then there is the VD and all that.
So sex can harm. No matter how selfish we might be with our own feelings, we are not doing ourselves or anyone else a favor by having sex undiscriminately.

God made it for a man and a woman who are married to enjoy. Sleeping with people that you are not married to is harmful - if you are have been convinced by society that it is ok and do not admit the harm it does to someone in the heart and soul you are deceiving yourself.It is a powerful bond of body and spirit between two people, not just recreation, and should be taken much more seriously.
God CAN cure that desire, he changes everything when we live with him in faith. The world seems to not even know how wonderful, how fulfilling and life-long sex is for a married couple who waits -
You are giving in to urges that can affect your life in many ways - you are not a "salmon swimmimg upstream" - you are a person with a heart and mind that needs to respect yourself enough not to give away what is a treasure and a gift.

Hi Kathyusha,
It's not really the act of sex, but what sex leads to that is the sin. Like most things, sex can be fun in the short term like chocolates, alcohol or any other addiction. However, if you take a look at the long term, sex can lead to unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted deseases. This can actually ruin your future.
So the next time you get that urge, maybe you can take a look at the more important things in life. If you do decide to still have sex, accept all the consequences I have enumerated. If you can do that, then by all means do what you like. If you think it won't happen to you, think again.

Sex is fun only when it's between a husband and a wife. Most men don't respect women who aren't virgins when they get married. I doubt ALLAH intended for people to have sex out of wedlock for the sheer enjoyment of it. Muslims like myself are taught from an early age that sex is a sin and I believe according to Shariah Laws that you can be beaten for that. If not killed.

Sex is not wrong. It is just intended for a very specific purpose, that is to bind a man and a woman to each other in marriage. It is fun and a very powerful urge. When properly used, it is a wonderful blessing. When misused, it causes heart aches, diseases, destroyed self esteem, etc. The teaching - at least of the Christian church - is to enjoy it the way it is intended.

Many things in life are enjoyable, and certainly sexual relations was designed to be such in order that man would continue to procreate. However, and this is where the church comes from, it is the practice of sex outside of marriage and all of the outcomes of such practices which mandates that sex take place between married couples. It's for your ultimate protection.

God created sex so it is not wrong....what's wrong is how Satan has perverted God's creation. Sex is only ok within marriage.(there's and automatic thumbs-down for me). Have you ever read the Song of Solomon? God is pleased when we enjoy sex....but it is only ok to do it within marriage...God has many very good reasons for this, and alot of problems like children born to teenage moms, rampant STD's and many more could be avoided if people waited until marriage to engage their urges. We're human beings for crying out loud, not animals. For the record, Christianity does not condemn sex...read the bible and you will see this very clearly

Its not wrong. Its meant to be fun but within a marriage. What comes from promiscuous intercourse, unwanted pregnancy, deceases some of those making you infertile or even dead. None of these would be relevant in a marriage as the two people are as God intended.

Personally, I don't believe sex is "wrong." It is healthy, fun, and necessary for the continuation of our species.
On the other hand, there can be a moral dimension to what we do with our sexuality. Practicing sex in a way that simply uses people could be problematic. Or having sex in ways that fails to consider our health or the health of others.
Some traditions even would go so far as to say that sex is so sacred that it should only be practiced in the context of a committed relationship such as marriage.
Ultimately, I should think what is important is being mindful and thoughtful about what you do with your sexuality. The conclusion you come to about what it means to practice sexuality in a moral and healthy way is ultimately yours to make.

Sex is not wrong, only sex outside of the bonds of marriage is wrong. Once you are married you can have sex 10 times a day if you want but until then it's sin.
