eliminating sexual desire? | |
Miss Ann Thrope User ID: 356214 United States 01/18/2008 12:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Edgar, are you serious with the "thinking is extremely dangerous"? Or did you type that without thinking? Quoting: edgar celadus 284955When people try to challenge one principle, they will eventually agree with the contrary, and then use another to "reaffirm" and increase the balance. That's what most people do, but they don't have definite principles underlying their assumptions. They are full of unconscious contradictions. That's because our communication medium is too crude and inefficient: too much energy is lost into conveying every ordinary idea, opinion, subject, etc. We would only agree 100% if we had the entire universe in our heads, or if ours minds fused into one. Telepathy would be one step further, that's for sure. This is mostly because we can't ever say nothing that summarizes the great Paradox, or Whole, or Universe, or God....only the most absolute silence and contemplation could describe it accurately. Textual chatter is in itself absurd, because we both know that everything is relative and real answers will only come with real experience. But that would leave us without words. First of all, what you described in paragraph two is merely an example of people who AREN'T really thinking, but rather letting someone else do the thinking for them. They simply align with whichever concept they deem the lesser evil or the path of least resistance. The problem there is people not thinking enough for themselves. Then they want to blame someone else for the choices they made. Real thinkers take personal responsibility for themselves and their actions and don't blame others for their own weaknesses. So, if you believe all that, what are you getting out of interacting with people of widely divergent views on a debate oriented message board? One would think you would spend your time meditating in an Ashram somewhere, or channeling a higher order of beings ala Nancy Lieder. |

array User ID: 416454 United States 04/15/2008 10:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm in a similar boat. My girlfriend and I had a child, but now she doesn't want to have sex until we're married. She feels we're sinning in God's eyes, though I tend to think we're probably already married in His eyes. To make matters worse, she doesn't want to get married for a very long time, if ever. We live together, we sleep together, we see each other naked every single day but I have to eliminate my sexual desire because it's driving me insane. I honestly wish I could be castrated but for only a few months. |

Dread Pirate Roberts User ID: 414967 United States 04/15/2008 10:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How does one eliminate sexual desire? I find that it's one thing which is getting in the way of my spiritual growth and if I could eliminate that desire, I would be free to do my life's work unburdened. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 290624If you are a Christian, this will work: pray to Jesus. If the sexuality you are seeking to get rid of is a sin( adultery, fornicaion, homosexuality, or perversion) He will take it from you. Sex in a marital bed (your own!) is a great and very spiritual thing. God gave us sex. Pleasure between a husband and wife is a good thing and procreation comes of it ...and children are dear to the Lord. The bad kind of sexual impulses are Satan's work. Lust is a powerful motivator to set God aside and live for the flesh. And we know that in the flesh we are dead in our sins. So if you truly feel the Holy Spirit is leading you away from that, or that you need help in this area, then pray to Jesus to lift that burden from you and ask for discernment as to what or how to do the work He has asked you to do. God bless. "From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17 |

God create male+female to unite get married in that union have beautiful kids, and make love with that person you love and married. if you dont want to have sex like the religious, just dont watch movies, avoid movies and tv. pray, the rosary helps, mass, holy communion, reading the psalms, take walks, do activities when you get desires. we are all sinners, we can never eliminate sexual desire 100% cause its in us. but we could learn to master our thoughts, and reject and not feed into those thoughts to fall, for the kingdom of heaven. you should love yourself the way are, God made you with your sexuality, does not mean you have to obess about it. like the great saints, all had temptations, sexual desire, cause we are human, but we avoid everything that could make us fall. are you married! i dont eliminate my sexuality it is there, and is not healthy if you do so, we are human, cause it is a part of me, it is there, but i avoid tv movies that would lead me to sin. i have always being considered a pretty woman, but i dont give in, cause our body is the temple of the holy spirit. and i am not married. and i follow God`s commandements, sex before marriage is a sin in God`s eyes. God is the same, yesterday today and forever. it takes a will, and you have to set your mind to it. and for the love of God and the kingdom of heaven it gives me courage. and i pray, read the bible, go to church, receive holy communion, and i dont obess about that. read the lives of the saints, they could help you out. and pray to God, to show you His will... good luck |

Zoloft does it really effectively, and pretty much everyone that I know who has experienced that agrees. I have heard that Zoloft is sometimes prescribed for sex-offenders, it totally illuminates hard-ons/ makes sex hurt. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 565297 United States 02/16/2009 04:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | sexual energy is something that can be handled in four general ways: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2328371- embrace it with reckless abandon and self indulgence. this choice causes the desire to increase and it then becomes more and more important to you . in this, you become less and less in control of your self, your mind, your emotions, and your life.... 2- enjoy it at times as a release and a time of sharing with another human, while not pushing it past 'normal' parameters. ie. doing anything possible to make it more and more intense...(this leads to mental and emotional imbalances) 3- resist the urges and deny them. (this leads to emotional and mental imbalances) 4- in the early mornings, sit still in an upright cross legged position. breathe in deeply and slowly and let the breath out evenly and slowly while LETTING the energy pass THROUGH YOU... This will take much repetition and practice to be able to 'let it go' probably 30 days of doing this every day for 1 solid hr at the same time each day...but the result will be an empowering that is incomprehensible! You will be one in a hundred million that truly is seeking the path of non attachment to the illusory inducements. In this you will find FREEDOM and a clear mind that you never thought possible. 30 days at least or don't even start...it DOES take diligence. anyone that preaches against the fourth option is a robot, controlled by insanity (uncleanness)...a parasite infested human. |

Hiram User ID: 790024 United States 02/10/2010 09:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The best and easiest way to eliminate sexual desire is find and marry a wife. This way you get to have sanctioned sexual intercourse. Unfortunately though... because of the nature of sin -- you may find yourself indulging in increasingly salacious acts with your spouse -- you may even be tempted to engage each other in all manner of sickly sweet debauchery for the promise of sexual satisifaction. Such compromises result in the abject desctruction of souls. It's a bad thing. It truly is. So -- if you go the wife route you better make sure she is as conscientious as you are. There is nothing worse than defiling yourself with a reckless woman who then abandons you because you refuse to indulge her debauched fantasies. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 357338There's good advice in here, but hidden in a very insidious way. Heh heh, if you DO marry, make sure it's with some chick who wants to engage in disgusting sexual acts, and frequently. It rules. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 290624I've often felt that it is our sex hormones that are the cause of most of our Earthly problems. Maybe think of your sexual desire as "thoughts". It is our thoughts about anything that keep us "stuck", so to speak, and not in the present. So, the method might be the same. When you have a sexual thought or image, don't resist it (because resistance in itself is powerful energy), but at the same time don't choose to give it anymore thought energy. Eventually, it should float away on it's own if not focused on just like any other thought. |
