We are called to be pure. Sometimes it is hard to resist women who intentionally try to corrupt you. Prayer helps. Any other advice?

not a man here but I know something that does help......
sounds simple but someone told it to me and it works....
PRAY for the person who is tempting you RIGHT THEN!
it keeps you straight and sets up boundries....you don't have to tell them...just do it

Just say NO. I wouldn't accept cocaine from someone who walked up to me on the street and offered me some. Why would I accept sex? On my wedding day I promised before God and His Church that I would be faithful until death. I never made such a promise concerning cocaine. So, if I just say no to drugs, then there is no possible way I will say yes to adultery. That would be far more destructive than drugs could ever be. For me and the one I love. Temptation of any kind is only a problem if there is some remote possibility of saying yes. Then you have to decide. If you have already absolutely and unconditionally committed yourself to saying NO, then there is nothing to decide, and an attractive woman is not a temptation. And, if you are married and have not made such a commitment, then you need to do so. Today.

Gal 5:16 But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another; lest whatever you may will, these things you do.
I keep my wife close at all times, either physically or in my heart and mind.

Thank-you for fighting! I know that it is not an easy thing to stand against temptation and what the world says is okay. If it gives encouragement, know that there are girls and women out there who respect you for the choices you are making. We are pulling for you guys too!
Stand Firm.

Oh, you poor thing! Women are such vile temptresses, aren't they? What's a poor weak-willed Christian man to do? And excuse me, but aren't there any Christian women who have to resist temptation from men who try to lead them astray?
That's one reason I'm glad I'm Jewish. I don't have to think about stuff like that.

Number one, I'm not looking. I've been married to the same woman for 24 years, and there is no other woman I want. Besides, my wife won't let me leave the house without the fence.

Stop flirting or leading women on. Nip it in the bud. Don't start something you don't want to finish. Maybe the problem is not the woman but you??

LOL. Yes, we intentionally seek out christian men in order to corrupt and seduce you.
...this is just too funny.

I'm sure they take the shotguns that god gave them and come after freaks like you. Nothing like good ol' peace of mind, eh?
edit: kelly, it looks like the chosen one is surely a man. or else she would be proud enough to say, "I'm a woman. I go through hell for one week every month, and therefore, you WILL listen to what I have to say."

avoid the situations that would put you into a place where you would be willing to compromise
