Speaker 1 (00:00):
For your information, abstinence is not necessarily or absolutely or
solarly Christian. You'll be surprised to find out how many
more people are abstinent. Much like a YouTuber with fifty
thousand subscribers and millions of views, there are many more
invisible passive actors than we think. Although I'm not sure

(00:22):
that this is the best analogy, but I hope you
get the point. An abstinent or sealbate person could be
the waitress at your local coffee shop, your classmate, your colleague,
a famous athlete, a popular actress, a famous musician, a
man or a woman whose age ranges from zero to

(00:42):
one hundred years old or more. Basically, it is often
impossible to guess who's abstinent just by looking at people's faces.
So not all stressed out, angry, anxious looking like people
are obstinate or celibate. Also, not everybody desires to be
living their best life by multiplying intimate partners. But hold on,

(01:06):
the people do still have questions. Could prolonged abstinence in
women accelerate menopoles per se at a younger age or
infertility complications? Or what about men? Could it cause prosted cancer?
Dry up their simon or make them impotent? Can abstinence
make you boring or forget about how to love or
be affectionate? Well, if you're still listening, stick around as

(01:30):
we will be unpacting five of the craziest myths about
abstinence and intimacy and reveal facts about the possible effects
of prolonged abstinence on the body. And you may want
to stick around for the fifth one as it may
be crucial for your journey. If you like this kind

You may now leave your fear, your judgment and murmur

informed that what you're about to hear is not from

that there is is Elohim himself. Now, if you may,

you know how we go. So before I can keep
on talking, I just want to give quick grace to
my father Father God. I just want to say thank

(04:18):
you and put today's topic into your hand. Less of me,
more of you, as I always say, you are worthy
our regard and Lord to receive glory, honor, and power,
for you created all things and buy your will they
were created and have there being a man a man.
Let's go, my people, welcome. Before I let you even

(04:44):
get comfortable, here's a question for you. What happens to
anyone who goes for months, years without being intimate or
even never have had experience any as many myths or
belief that are out there, one thing is certain as
to how one handles into core starvation. The consequences are

(05:04):
generally linked to each person's individual mental, psychological, spiritual, and
physical state in the course of their abstinence journey. So
before I can dive in the depth of this topic
and answer to this question, please allow me to properly
reintroduce to this topic, which is, what are the effects

(05:24):
of not having sex for a long time or ever?
As Christian abstinent? All right, straight from the jump, Let's
get something right. It is inaccurate to believe that doing
the jig, which by the way, means having intercourse in

(05:46):
my ladylike terminology. Okay, okay, so it is untrue, false,
and wrong to believe that doing the jig is fundamental
for everybody. If one never wants to do it, it
is what it is, despite other people telling you otherwise.
These people are the same folks who tell you today

(06:06):
one thing, and the next day side with the culture
and say the opposite. The most important thing is for
you to be convinced spiritually and mentally about your decisions.
Show me one lady who's got cob webs from being
obstinate for a long period of time or matter of fact,
never have been active, well, not asking literally to see

(06:31):
one's secret flower. But do you know what I mean?
People do say many things to simply be mean, hurtful
and shaming others. Why would anyone care about what you
choose to do in your intimacy Anyone who truly get
busy don't get time to mind other grown folks business.

(06:51):
Just saying, now that this is out of the way,
let us debunk five of many misconceptions about not having
inter course ever or for a long time, and stick
around for number five as it will uplift your spirit.
So without any delay, myth number one abstinence is only

(07:12):
four teenagers. This belief alone has applied so much pressure
onto many that from elementary school a lot of teenagers
young adults crumbled under peerce pressure and lost their virginity
too soon. And what I mean by too soon is
not their age, but more so being unaware of their identity,

(07:33):
who you are in the stage of your current life,
what you want, why and is it worth it. Sadly,
we cannot revite many immature decisions that we've made in
the past, but we pray that God strengthens us so
we can rise above. Choosing to wait before being intimate
is a personal decision and choice. Some people may love

(07:56):
to be out there, active and busy with many partners
for different reasons that are their own, such as maybe
pleasure or way to escape or relieve stress. But others
may find intimacy in very different ways. Did you know
that there are many non sexual ways to be intimate,
such as hugging, per se connecting emotionally which is another,

(08:18):
and there are several other ways to do so. If
you want me to elaborate on the topic, let me
know in the comment section and I will look into
it next. Myth number two, abstinence leads to sexual dysfunctions.
This is where the cub webs and the inability to
get your soldier to rise come from, and it is

(08:40):
false being exposed to soon into physical intimacy. Activities may
create a dependency compared to a drug addiction, as it
stimulates the same hormones like dopamins that gets activated in
a pleasurable experience, just like euphoria for example, and therefore
this may create the need to get more thus self

(09:03):
pleasuring yourself and for men, an excess of self pleasuring
can lead to sexual dysfunction. As to the consequences of
abstinence on folks, there aren't many evident studies that link
sexual dysfunctions to it. Sexual dysfunction may happen in both
whether active or abstinent people. Matter of fact, being abstinent

(09:24):
prevents you from contracting any SDA or any other form
of complication related to unsafe intercourse. So moving on to
myth number three, abstinence is mainly a religious thing, Navam,
you'd be surprised to meet a lot of folks abstaining
for different personal reasons. Some people may have chosen to

(09:47):
abstain to focus more or improve their discipline all around.
In their life. Others may have decided to abstain to
heal from heartbreaks and therefore chose to maintain it until
they find the person. And heck, some may just not
be sexual. People like that don't believe everything you see
or hear. Not everyone out there is getting it as

(10:10):
they make it seem. With that being said, it is
true that the Bible emphasizes that people should remain abstinence
before marriage, as intercourse and everything that surrounds it is
reserved for marital relationship. Just like Christ, we are called
to be holy, pure and avoid sexual immorality. So abstinence

(10:32):
is not mainly observed for a religious standpoint, but recommended.
Myth number four abtinence is a sign of immaturity or
lack of social experience. What does that even mean? Who
even define maturity by the action of being physically intimate?
How many people out there do the jig? But boy boy,

(10:55):
even a five year old is more mature than them.
What even is the true definition of maturity? Lets just
start here listen. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, maturity is
a very advanced or developed form or state of being
completely grown or responsible. Now, isn't it true that human

(11:18):
beings continue to grow and evolve physically, mentally, spiritually, and
all that until we leave this earth. If that is
the case, no one is mature. Then, by the way,
how can you tell without knowing anyone personally, just by
looking at people's faces who lack social experience due to abstinence. Listen,

(11:40):
arrest my case, I'm done even try so. Moving on
finally to myth five, a very crucial one. I don't
know about you, but I have done hearing this one
over and over and it doesn't stop to amaze me.
People practicing abstinence are rare and unhappy. How many times

(12:03):
have people gets wrong about me thinking I was happy
because there was a possible ton to for my French
people out there, or in English an uncle that I
kept hidden. Who was the cause of my joy? To that?
I say, glory to God. If that's what people believe.
You want to know why? Because the joy, the glow,

(12:25):
the peace, the confidence, the assurance, the selflessness and all
that is God's glory surrounding me. That's all. Let me
tell you something. Happiness is not found in mankind but
in God first, and mostly actually scratch that entirely in God. Okay,

(12:47):
when you are fully dependent on God's mercy and grace
for your life. He shows up and gives you strength
even when there is none within you. People see you
stand on your feet, but they can see with their
bare eyes the angels of God surrounding you that are
supporting every inch of your being. I am not here

(13:10):
to debate about the rarity or not of people practicing
accident because it's irrelevant to me. But I want more
soul to tell you who is listening, that you are
great just as you are, You are enough just as
you are. You are chosen since the womban before your conception,

(13:31):
and also that you are in this world, but not
from this world. Our rules and regulations don't have to
be popular, they just have to be pleasing to God,
our Father in heaven, and justified through Christ, our Savior.
If this message resonates with you, send me a message
in my Instagram or down below, and I will create

(13:54):
an email list for members only, and together we will
uplift one another in this journey and grow spiritually. They
are my friends. I don't know if, like me, you
were motivated to bring light onto the enemy schemes and
put an end to it, but we are not only
starting but pursuing this mission. I pray that I was

(14:18):
able to convey my message clearly and encourage you in
your journey of abstinence for some and selviousy for others
to keep pushing despite all the outside noise. Let us
believe that God is the director of our lives and
that he is never wrong and never fail. I hope

(14:40):
you liked this conversation and that it has added value
onto your life. If that is the case, share with
us in the comment section what absurd misconceptions have been
said about you regarding your accidence journey, or anything that
you've heard people say in general? Like and subscribe. If
you're watching on you you too, so we can continue

(15:02):
to grow and push this message to others that may
need to hear it as well. Before I leave you,
I want to thank you with all my heart for
having allowed me in your space, your ear, your precious time.
Thank you for I do not take it lightly. I
wish you to have an amazing day, evening night. Just

(15:25):
have an amazing time. Stay safe out there, as I
always say, stay beautifully, peacefully and confidently blessed for you,
my friend, are a unique creation of Elohim stay blessed.
