God created sex drives for a purpose. The purpose is to satisfy your spouse only. It is Satan the Tempter who makes it unclear to us. He tempts us and trys to draw us further from God, because that is his goal. God created a beautiful gift of marriage so that two may come together as one.

If your focus and faith are truly in God it won't be that much of a struggle for you. It becomes a struggle when we stop praying, reading the bible, and focusing on God's will for our lives. It becomes a struggle when we watch most of what's currently on TV, at the movies, and the half dress near naked men an women walking around thinking its cute to dress that way (Paris and Britney = Skankville). It becomes a struggle when our thoughts are inundated with lustful lewd thoughts of sexual pleasure instead of meditating on God's word and trusting in Him to see us through our temptations. But no one, not even Jesus, has ever had the ability to ignore the temptation all together. The bible says that Jesus was tempted in every way like man except He never sinned. I know that non of us could ever totally be like Jesus but God doesn't expect us to be. God only expects that we acknowledge Him in all our ways and respect Him for the God that He is before we consider doing something that He had deemed a sin.

Obviously having a strong sex drive is a good way to encourage reproduction. Giving birth isn’t all that much fun you know, particularly when it includes 30+ hours of labor. (I know)
But since we are capable of feelings and memories we can do a lot of emotional damage to others by treating them recklessly and using them to satisfy our desires.
Sex without commitment usually means sex without concern for the feelings of the other person. We are supposed to value each other, not treat others like a slab of meat.

The marriage thing. The God thing. The sex thing.
Although not mutually exclusive, they are not realistically tied together in any honest way regarding biology and human behavior.
I do believe that sex should be as casual as hey do you wanna go for a walk or "something"? It should be shared for it's pleasure between friends, not saved and guarded as if it's enriched uranium.
I also believe that safer sex practices must be employed as if God His own Self were watching and ready to throw bolts of lightning at any violators.

i've heard a few ideas about this one. some say because of all the problems caused by sleeping around, i don't really need to list those, i'm sure everyone knows what they are. some say because of diseases. some say because it is a gift that will be better if we waited until marriage. but i guess once you do it while not married you can't really every know if it would have been or not. these are just some ideas.

Because he's generous to give it to you in the first place, and not being able to have sex for approximatley 1/3 of your life or less is not that big of a deal unless you have nothing better to do.

Obedience is better than sacrifice .The Bible does tell us that there is a time and place for everything and........the time to satisfy your sex drive is after marriage. God also gave us self control. You have to use it.He has it all worked out for our good.

It makes perfect sense. God created us with the desire to enjoy companionship and intimacy, but he also gave us free will. He wants us to enjoy the pleasures of life, but not abuse them. We are given the desire to do lots of things, based on our individual personalities, that doesn't mean we should do them all. If we had no rules to live by and everyone just automatically did "the right thing", life would be pretty boring and meaningless.

Sex is good within marriage. There are alot of sexually transmitted diseases outside of a monogamous relationship. As far as reasons? All I know is that it works better like the Man said it does... I don't think He actually causes complications. It has to do with the curse of the law for transgressors of the law. He provided a way to escape the curse but you have to choose and you have to do...

God doesn't tell us not to satisfy them unless we're married, the human fallible church and its minions tell us that. My God understands sex/sexuality and made me a sexual being for a reason.
