So far it has been tough.

Damn right. I learned early that is is far easier to ask fogivness than to get permission :) Richard PS: They did a lot of begatting in the Bible. Wonder how that works :) Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions....there was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions.

I spent a lot of my younger years as a musician doing the sex, drugs and rock & roll thing. Needless to say, I woke up with a lot of women whose names I couldn't even remember. Somewhere down the line, as I got older and my values changed, I reached a point where sex without an emotional connection was an empty experience for me. Now don't get me wrong, I still love sex with beautiful women, but these days if it's not someone I want to wake up and hug the next morning, I'd truly just rather sleep alone. So, the biological urges are definately still there, but because of what I believe in and am holding out for (i.e., good old fashioned, idealistic, romantic love), it's not a hardship. I'm sure you that you will draw similar strength from the power of your own beliefs. Discipline is just a habit. Once established, it's easily maintianed.

To an extent, we all are hypocrites, but to take it overboard deliberately is just another sign of weakness. If you say premarital sex is wrong and give in because you are horny then you are weak-minded like so many other people. I don't think it's wrong to have sex with a married woman, and guess what - you won't find me saying otherwise. To hell with the act, it's about standing firm for what you believe in.

Where exactly in the Bible are you getting the notion that you can not have premarital sex with a female ? Regardz Colin J Davies

It's been a long, long time since I studied Christianity, but over the course of many years I attended a lot of different Protestant / Fundamentalist churches, and that was a consistently recurring theme. Don't recall the biblical justification for it though. Chistopher Duncan Author - The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World (Apress)

Of course, I just gotta add that if you're encountering so many biological opportunities that it's a constant strain, I'm sure you're the envy of most of the guys here! :-D Chistopher Duncan Author - The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World (Apress)

The down side of that is the potential for burnout. It was that way with the nameless bimbos that you don't even want to talk to the next morning - do enough of it and it gets old. So, like a junkie always craving the next, more powerful experience, I reached a point where physical alone just wasn't enough. Now a sexy girl and a powerful, soul to soul connection? Hey, that sounds like a rush! Chistopher Duncan Author - The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World (Apress)
