Everywhere you turn, someone is saying “sex is natural why wait?” Some even quote medical articles that hint late sex causes fibroids or other issues. Add the pressure of hormones and social media, and it can feel almost impossible to stay pure. But here’s the truth: science doesn’t cancel Scripture, and your body isn’t just biology it’s worship.
Science Demystified
Yes, sex releases powerful chemicals: dopamine (pleasure), oxytocin (bonding), vasopressin (commitment), and more. They make two people feel deeply connected. But that’s the point: sex is God’s covenant glue, not casual entertainment. When used outside marriage, those same chemicals create unhealthy soul ties that damage trust, peace, and even identity. And about the fear that “late sex causes fibroids”? That’s more cultural pressure than medical fact. Fibroids are influenced by genetics, hormones, and lifestyle not purity. Don’t let half-truths push you into choices that wound your spirit.
The Spiritual Design
In Hebrew thought, you don’t just have a body, you are a body-soul-spirit being (nephesh). Your body is a temple (1 Cor. 6:19). Your seed (zera‘) carries destiny (Mal. 2:15). Your hormones are bonding agents God designed for covenant love. That means sex is never “just sex.” It’s worship. In marriage, it’s a holy act that mirrors Christ and the Church (Eph. 5:31–32). Outside marriage, it becomes idolatry joining your temple to another altar (1 Cor. 6:16). Proverbs warns of the adulterous woman who “hunts for the precious life” (Prov. 6:26) and through her whoredom destroys souls, families, and even nations. That’s not just poetry that’s spiritual warfare.
Self-Control as Worship
Desire itself isn’t evil. Scripture says if it burns, channel it (1 Cor. 7:9). Every act of self-control is a prayer without words: Presenting your body as a living sacrifice (Rom. 12:1). Guarding your temple from false bonds. Choosing covenant over compromise. And if you thinking masturbation is a safe outlet, Jesus challenges that in Matthew 5:28. Lust is adultery of the heart, even without a partner. Self-pleasure trains your spirit to worship desire instead of God, forming inward addictions that make covenant intimacy harder, not easier.
The Appeal
The world shouts: “Don’t waste your youth!” But God whispers: “Don’t waste your worship.” Waiting is not weakness it’s choosing value over vanity, destiny over distraction, and covenant over compromise. Every “no” you say to lust is a “yes” to worship. Pause & Reflect, When I feel strong desire, do I see it as temptation only, or as an invitation to worship through self-control? What voices (friends, media, science) shape my view of sex most am I testing them against God’s Word? Do I recognize how sexual sin can destroy not only me, but generations? How do I treat my body daily: as common flesh, or as God’s temple of worship?
LIKE ALL SPIRITS, GOD IS ALSO IN THE MARKET FOR BODIES FOR HIS USE AND GLORY! MAKE SURE HE FINDS YOURS!
