In chapter 1 of Genesis we got a glimpse of our duties as Humans. God made us to take care of the earth and to multiply (Genesis 1:28). In Genesis chapter 2 we get a detailed description of how men and women relate to each other. Adam was created first. God saw that it was not good for a man to be alone (Genesis 2:18), therefore a compatible partner was created to be helper. When young men and women reach the age of maturity they depart from their parents' house. The young man and woman should be capable of raising a family and in this manner they become one flesh (Genesis 2:24).
Men and Women both married and not have adopted the immoral lifestyle. Sexual immorality drives the majority of the human population. A lot of this being inspired by programmes on TV, internet and the music we listen to. All the popular TV, internet and music programmes are associated to sex. Below are verses that have been pulled from all parts of the Bible to display what the Bible says about sexual desires.
As creations of God, when Man and women were created God brought about marriage. People are not to have sexual relations before marriage. The Bible clearly rebukes fornication (1 corinthians 6:9) (1corinthians 6:18). Escaping fornication by getting married does not then give us a pass to be sexually immoral because we are married. A married couple's sexual desire is to their own husband and wife ( 1 Corinthians 7:1 and 2). Married couples are not to have sexual relations out of their marriage partner (Exodus 20: 14). The marriage bed should be kept pure and away from sexual immorality, God will judge this (Hebrews 13:4). Practise of sexual immorality or impure living will not inherit heaven (Ephesians 5:3-6).
The duty of husbands is to love their wives, help each other to grow in purity and love their wives as their own body (Ephesians 5:1:25). Our Duty is to present our bodies to God thus keeping our bodies away from sexual immorality. The way we treat our bodies should be pleasing to God (Romans 12:1).
Sexual desires and lust are acts that are not desired by God, they are not part of Love. ( Galatians 5:19), (1 John 2:16).
