For Christian men?

Question

Would you say it was natural for a christian man in his 30s who is practicing sexual purity 110% in every way possible to have dreams (sleep) and effects (you know what I am talking about) I almost feel guilty for giving in to sexual temptation but it's while dreaming what can I do. Would you say this is normal?

Answer 1

It is perfectly normal. I would think that if this is something you
deal with frequently you need to change your focus, pray that God would deliver you from it or ask God to give you a wife that loves Him above everyone and everything.

Answer 2

First of all, there is a misunderstanding of scripture that causes gentlemen to believe that 'spilling the seed' is in and of itself sinful. That is not the case.

Back in Old Testament days, if a woman's husband died before they had any children, it was the duty of that man's close male relatives to give her a child to carry on the family. That child was considered the deceased man's child, and was offered that man's inheritance.

In the Bible, it happened that a woman found herself in such a spot. Her husband had died and she had no child. The husband's brother was being spiteful and refused to give the woman a child. He purposely 'spilled his seed' on the ground just so she would not get pregnant. Spitefulness was the sin.

In modern times, there is no such custom.

I do not recall any scriptures pertaining to self satisfaction directly, either male or female. There is always the caution, though, that if you let any lust of the flesh distract you away from God, the that can be considered a sin. Money, sex, power, all of these can be lusts of the flesh.

If you get carried away with self-pleasure, you are probably sinning.

Dreams are nothing.

Answer 3

Well have you always been 110% pure? Do you think about sex? If you still think about sex you'll probably have dreams. Also, dreaming is part of the subconcious, so eventhough you may not be thinking about it, your body and hormones may be triggering something in the brain (subconcious) from the abstinence of sex which is causing you to dream about it. Because eventhough you're not having it and trying to keep your mind pure, you're still a man.

I've said all of this to say that I think you are normal.

Pray and move forward. Don't dwell.

Answer 4

It is quite normal for young men to dream about sexual escapades no matter how much they try to practice sexual purity.

Answer 5

Definitely natural. God created us as sexual creatures and wants us to like it. So, sexual temptation is a good thing. Just stay straight and dont be promiscuous.

Answer 6

No it isn't normal. 110% is in fact not possible, therefore in no way normal.

As for dreams it's because your body is telling you that the sperm it has created is getting too old for use in reproduction and it is time to clear the tubes. But of course that is based off biology which is science which is blasphemous.

Answer 7

It's quite normal to have nocturnal emissions.
Of course that even though you can control your actions, you have sexual thoughts.
Your religion states that this is a sin.
However- your biology says that you're a normal human male.

Either god made a mistake,
or humans misinterpreted what god's intent was.

Answer 8

If what your saying is true (and I have no reason to doubt you) then what happens while your are asleep is beyond your control, and therefore not a sin. And yes, I would say it is normal. The important thing is that you continue to seek the Lord and His righteousness, and He will help you through these things.

Answer 9

Yes. Some might call it a wet dream! Normal healthy Christian men are human and it is completely natural.
Just pray for forgiveness after you masturbate, Jesus Loves You!

Answer 10

If it's beyond your control your alright. The only time you must worry is when your fully consciouses of the temptation and then act on it in fully knowledge.
