Answer 1

You do seem to have a big problem,all I can tell you is keep your cloths on and pray,pray,pray.


P.S. Can you believe all these answers???? way to go . mention sex and they just pour in don't they??

Answer 2

I would say it's more of an obsession rather than a demonic possession. But when you say you are sexual "only within a relationship", does that mean a married relationship? If not, then you should think about whether you have recieved the wrong message from pop-culture when it comes to sexuality. You may have an addiction, but addictions can be overcome. I would look at the below link to see if they could help.

It is NOT illegal to get married at 23! I got married at 22 and my wife was 23! I'm 31 now :-( and still married! :-)

Answer 3

Because you have Christ, you cannot be possessed. You can be oppressed and attacked.

Satan will use your sin (and it could be any sin) to gain a foothold in your life. Since he can't keep you from becoming a Christian, he's going to try to make you abandon your faith and become useless as a witness.

Have a frank talk with your priest. Ask to be prayed over and take authority of any demons or bad spirits and command, in Jesus' name, that they leave. Ask to be filled by the Holy Spirit.

Then go and sin no more.

Find a support/accountability group through your church. Break it off with your partner. If he/she really loves and respects you, he/she'll back off and let you grow spiritually and do some growing themself. That doesn't mean you won't ever be together, but you can't be tempting yourself. Not fair for either of you.

Having those desires is normal, but we are told to take every thought captive. So when you feel you mind drifting there, bring to mind a bible verse or dead kittens or something.

You really need a spiritual mentor. Ask someone you respect if they would do this for you. Not someone young or a new Christian. Someone who has endured trials. You don't have to do it alone, that's why God puts us together, to support and encourage one another.

Keep the faith and God Bless!

Answer 4

This is probably not what you want to hear, but if you're a practicing Catholic, you should not be having sex outside of marriage. Period. It's in the rulebook (check your Catechism). Die-hard traditionalists would probably tell you that your increased activity is an indication that evil has got its hooks in you, or that it is an indication of the influence of sin in your life. My guess is that your changed behavior isn't really about sex, but rather another issue, perhaps something about the relationship you are currently in. A chat with a counselor or therapist would probably be helpful in sorting out whatever you have going on in your life right now. I'd suggest talking to a spiritual advisor (i.e. a priest) if you're comfortable with that. It might be very helpful and get you started down a more spiritually healthy road.

Answer 5

I'm RC too. No, I don't think it's the beginning of a possession, it's just the natural human sexual impulse (I'm pretty sexual myself, so I know how it goes!). It can only become a problem if it interefers with work or school, in which case you may have to see a doctor or psychiatrist, not an exorcist. But most likely, it's normal and you should feel free to take care of it as you see fit (on your own, most likely).

And no, 23 isn't too young to get married at all! i was 24 when I was married. You should choose the person carefull, but you're definitely old enough to get married legally.

Answer 6

Short answer is no. A person who is baptized into the Father, Son & Holy Spirit is indwelt with the Holy Spirit & cannot be possessed. However, just because you're baptized doesn't mean that if you flirt with sin (you do this when you make out with a boyfriend), you won't be tempted.

Do you have a nun, deaconess or a trustworthy woman figure you can honestly talk to about this. You're mother? I know that's hard, but I'm sure she would appreciate it if you went to her & not just a bunch of random people on the internet. My mom appreciated when I went to her about this type of stuff. Chances are, she probably went through a lot of the same things you are in this area.

Answer 7

If you are not married and is having sex or have had sex you are definately on the wrong path.The bible speaks clearly about fornication and lusting.I know it is hard but you can get back on the right path if you ask God to forgive you and just move on.

As for being horny 24/7 that happens to the best of us.God made us as sexual beings.I can't tell you if masturbation is wrong or right but that's how I get a release at times.I guess if you think about someone while doing it that would be lusting and that's a big no no.

It is difficult but can be done through prayer and dedication.God says he is able to keep that which we have committed unto him against that day.Please commit your body to him for safe keeping.I wish you all the best and may God be with you. You can get married anytime after 18.Paul said it is better to marry than burn with passion.

Answer 8

Are you serious? If you are, I think Catholicism teaches that everyone has free will, like you said, so you are responsible for your own actions. At the same time, Catholicism also teaches that people with free will are open to temptation, and that comes from the devil. That's what Roman Catholicism says.

It also teaches that there is such a thing as demonic possession. That's the sort of thing a priest would look into. So my advice to you is that if you think you're having that kind of issue, go see a priest. If you're just a nymphomaniac, see a psychologist and find somebody to marry.

Answer 9

Personally I do not know about the possession possibility but I would say you should probably seek a husband. Sexuality is normal and healthy and if you feel in need of fulfillment then marriage is where you are called.
LOL No it is not illegal to marry at 23. I did as did many others. If you do not feel able to marry yet then you should pray and avoid temptations.

Answer 10

Hey Shlane... wow, this is a very deep question. I agree with everyone who says that the desires you have are normal. I think that the mid 20's is a great time in your life to expirement in as many way as you can. I am not promotting a swinging lifestyle, but at the same time you should feel comfortable with your need to sample some things in life. Being 23, its normal to want to get out there and find out what satisfiys you... and that includes what happens in your bed.

The complicating factor is how you channel these normal impulses into something that doesn't contradict your faith. Some see that as impossible since pretty much all christian faiths forbide premarital sex and encourage everyone to take one partner and stay with them your whole lives. I think these are good guidelines to strive for, but you also have to learn about life to appreciate life more when/if you ever settle down. I think this is one of the reason that we are allowed to repent.. because no matter how pious and noble we are, we still give into curiosity and animal desire from time to time.

Do I think you ae being possessed? No... its normal. If anything I encourage you to pray for guidance. Just be smart, take respobsibility for any choice you make and do what you have to do so that you can learn from it and move on to the next stage of your life.

Answer 11

Anything that is not of God is of the devil. This includes thoughts and feelings we have. It doesn't mean that you are possessed by demons, simply that you are thinking of the pleasures of the flesh. All Christians are sexual beings, that's God's gift to us. What you are doing with it is what matters. The bible tells us not to have sex before marriage and that when we are married, just to have thoughts of other women/men is considered adultery. If you have these worries about your sexuality, then take them to God in prayer. Some of the feelings you have are certainly contributed to your age and normal.
