    Hello guys I just posted about my relapse after I was 16 days PMO free, for all who didn´t read it, I´m a 20 year old male student and I´m struggling with PMO addiction for many years but these days I´m more determined to fight this addiction than ever before.

    But there is one thing that is very hard to deal with and that’s following:

    I must be celibate until marriage. I know this isn´t just a rule, it would help me to live a better life. I´m not in a relationship and I never was, I´m a virgin but I had a lot of possibilities to had sex with pretty women in my age, because I´m not the ugliest person in fact many friends and family members of mine told me that I should become a model because I have the height, face and body for it, and would say my character isn`t bad at all. So would say I´m a handsome dude, maybe a little bit crazy but not in a weird way.

    Why I never had a relationship? I would say I never saw a girl in which I was interested, and the girls which were good looking had a personality I didn´t like and vice versa.

    If I`m going to have sex one day then only after marriage, because I think it is only made for marriage. I´m sure if it is Gods plan, he will give me a wife one day, but what if that’s not his plan for me, then the only sexual thing I ever experienced was Porn and Masturbation, while other people experienced real sex, and I could had experienced it too but never had because I choose to right thing.

    So I`m a guy who wants to experience everything (but in the right way),I want to understand everything. To summarize I would say I have to know things, (I would say that’s also the reason why I chose to study science)… So lets say Gods plan is that I`m not going to marry someone, then I couldn´t get this thought out of my brain that I could have had it (sex) but I chose not do it, because waiting until marriage is the right thing to do. As a person who is scientific embossed, this is a dilemma for me which would make me crazy because I would like to experience sex.

    And that leads to my PMO journey because it is very hard for myself to quit PMO when there is the thought, that the last time I had PMO could be the last time I had sexual pleasure (even if it isn´t real sex) for the rest of my life, if I`m successful with Nofap and no PMO.

    So how should I think about this? What du you guys think about this?

    Maybe now I should focus first into overcome my PMO addiction, until that I wouldn`t consider myself as eligible for marriage anyway.

    I don´t know if I explained my worries any good, I hope it is not too difficult to understand bc of my bad english (sorry again)

    I hope this doesn`t sound too crazy for u guys and I can´t wait to read your answers Thx for your answers in advance.
     
  2. Sex outside of the commitment of marriage will always pale in comparison with sex in its proper context. You're not missing anything there. Sex was designed to unite two people together in marriage. Making it about nothing more than physical pleasure robs it of much of its significance. Trying to capture that pleasure on your own is a losing game. You will always come up short in the long run.

    Here is what it boils down to: Do you trust God? Do you believe he knows what is best for you and will sustain you in your life, regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in? Do you believe he can fulfill every desire? Do you believe he is enough?

    There are many things we desire but never get to experience. That is just how it goes. But our God is good, and what he provides to us each day is always sufficient. Indeed, he loves to shower us with gifts which are far more than we deserve. His goodness knows no bounds.

    And we have an eternity ahead of us in which to make up for all the things we lost or missed out on here. Far, far better things await us in the fullest expression of the Kingdom. In this life we fast and prepare ourselves for the Bridegroom; in the next life, we will feast and experience Goodness in a new way and at a level far deeper and more profound than anything we can imagine now.

    Onward!

    I would like to add that you are not alone in this fear, it's something I worry about too. To think that my most recent O (65 days ago at the time of writing) could be my last ever is scary. But it's scary for the wrong reasons. It shouldn't be scary at all because as Tao pointed out, God gives us what we need. Furthermore there's more to life than sex. And who knows... maybe we WILL get married? We have to trust that future to God.

    It's easier said than done. But to believe this even if you don't feel it and don't like it is faith.

    You are not alone!

  4. I would encourage you to get your mind off of sex altogether. Pursue Christ with all of your heart. Once you have rebooted, look for a Christian woman who shares your values. Don’t choose only in looks. If you’re handsome, they may be intimidated and think they are not good enough for you. Become friends with them.
