What the Bible says about sexual feelings

1 Corinthians 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

1 Cor 6:12-18…Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body… Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her?  For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;

Galatians 5:19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,

1 Corinthians 7:2 But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband.

Ephesians 5:5 For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Colossians 3:5 Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry

Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

In Bible times they solved the problem of sexual immorality by marrying young. I was very surprised when I found out that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was only in her teens when she had Jesus. She was getting married as a teenager. The Bible also speaks about “… The wife of your youth.” in several places. The problem in modern society is that most people are waiting until after they get qualification and career before they consider marriage. That is usually in their late 20’s or early 30’s. That means they are spending most of their fertile adults years as singles.
