At certain times in your life there are things that you want to do even
though you know they are wrong. Sex is one of those things. You want it so
bad that it doesn't matter what happens as long as you get what you want.
You know it's wrong but you don't care. Kind of like sneaking out to a party
even though your parents said “no”. I understand because I've been there. My
advice to you is simple. Ride out the storm. I've said “no” to guys so many
times it's ridiculous. I wanted to, but I didn't and right now I don't want
to nearly as much and I'm extremely proud of myself for waiting.
Pray and ask God to give you the strength to wait,
Philippians 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
Psalms 130:5 "I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and
in his word I put my hope."
There is nothing wrong with the way you're feeling but there is
something wrong with acting on
those feelings. It's normal to feel that way. Talk to your boyfriend (he
should be a Christian) and tell him how you feel. Most likely he'll say he's
feeling the same way. Pray together. When you get the urge, go for a walk
together or better still stay in the presence of other people;
just don't act on your feelings. There will come a time as you get
older when your feelings won't be as strong and you'll be able to control
them better. If you wait you'll be happy you did, then you know you've saved
yourself for your husband.
If you don't wait you don't know what can happen.
It's better to be safe than sorry. It's worth it. Sex is not so important
that you'll risk your freedom, and good relationships for it. Once you've
done it then what? Ask yourself what good can possibly come from you
disobeying God and disappointing yourself? You are worth so much more
than that, so wait.
1 Thessalonians 5:3 "It is God's will that you should be sanctified (set
apart): that you should
avoid sexual immorality (sex outside of a marriage relationship);"
