Feelings
One’s high school years can include periods of intense sexual feelings. While attraction to the
opposite sex is natural, these feelings can be unnecessarily and unwisely intensified by what we allow ourselves to experience (sight, touch, taste, smell).
As individuals seeking to live sexually pure lives, we must minimize the times we listen to sexually explicit lyrics, watch suggestive music videos, view intimate scenes in movies, and encounter other suggestive
material.
Now as human beings, we will have sexual feelings. This is ok and natural. Also, we can’t avoid all sexual images as these images are abundant in today’s world. The objective however is to avoid any unwise heightening of these desires while attempting to remain sexually pure.
