It's not natural for men to remain celibate until marriage.

Depends on what you mean by 'natural.' It is not 'natural' for those walking in the flesh to remain celibate until marriage, be they male or female. It is perfectly 'natural' for those walking in the Spirit. (Natural doesn't mean easy, by the way.)

You are, of course, correct. I was referring more to the flesh's desires as opposed to spirit's desires.

I could never live a promiscuous lifestyle and be happy. The very thought of it is repugnant to me. My flesh would undoubtedly enjoy the cheap thrills, but I'd never be anything other than unhappy with such a life.

It is hard to do what is right. But it's worth it.
