What was God thinking when he gave some of us such an intense, sometimes overwhelming, sexual desire, or is that the devils fault?

Were we created by God to seek after and enjoy a sexual existence or was it a curse put upon us by the devil?

If some of us were not created to have an almost uncontrollable craving for sex, than why are there so many male bible characters that had several wives, or one wife and several concubines, or both, in order to satisfy his craving.

Even some women trapped in these harems who were not selected that day for the sexual pleasure of their master may have resorted to a lesbian affair to satisfy her overwhelming craving for the sexual satisfaction that she needed until her turn came up again.

Was that the devil causing all those sexual needs in both men and women, or were we given those needs and desires by God from birth?
I was born with this need and craving inside me

  • Procreation. But it's also a means for us to learn self control.

  • My religion permits me to do whatever and whoever the hell I want as long as I acknowledge whatever consequences may come with it for better or for worse. You get what you give.

    • You mean that is your own personal religious belief, or that is taught by a Pagan religious organization?

    • It’s taught by my religion and it isn’t rooted in paganism.

    • What's your religion?

  • It's like in the garden of Eden, the apple was the desire..

    • Not true. God wanted them to have sex and to "be fruitful and multiply". The "apple" or fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was a whole separate matter.

  • So I thought about this A LOT. I don't think women have too much sexual drive (they have it but it's not as strong and men are always using THIER as an excuse for BAD and often evil behavior). Let be clear I don't think premarital sex is evil I'm talking about other things. I think God made a mistake making men have a strong sexual drive.

  • Sexual desire was programmed into our core program to ensure we keep reproducing despite the burden of raising a child.

  • Life is so much of more understandable if you stop looking for divine reasons. We like sex because of we're descended from a long line of people who successfully reproduced.

  • I guess I have the Devil in me cuz I love fucking

  • THere is no devine intervention or anything. I dont believe in some santa clause god floating in between planes in the sky or floating in space just past a few asteroids.

    With that said you can use the bible to argue very easily that chastity is not religious. That comes from the church. not the bible. Scripture says "BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY".

    That basically means, spread your seed and have as much sex as possible. That was basically one of the first directives of God. That is why our bodies are created with lust and desire. For the purpose of sex. We were created first by god prior to punishments in the garden of Eden.

    I really dont know anything in the bible which says that you need to refrain from sex before marriage. I dont know anything in the bible that says that sex is evil. Not only that... but when it comes to King David and many other well regarded figures of the bible... sex and infidelity is celebrated. I mean, what husband has a barren wife and is celebrated by God for having sex with the maid in the home? The bible is so insane and contradictory.

    • Well, at least you invite a teachable moment... Against fornication (sex outside of marriage) Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Note: It mentions fornication as distinct from adultery, yet still worthy of being judged by God. Deuteronomy 17:17 (concerning kings having several wives) "He shall not multiply wives for himself, or else his heart will turn away; nor shall he greatly increase silver and gold for himself. Just because David did it, doesn't mean it's "celebrated". Look up Amnon and Absalom who were born to separate wives. And we're not "celebrating" the Arab/Israeli conflict either, nor did the Bible celebrate Abraham/Sarah/Hagar.

    • @I-am-a-nobody No. there is sex all over the bible. Including King David and other that we are supposed to "look up to". And sex outside of marriage... what about Sara and the hubbie? you know what i mean. the one who was barren but then supposedly god said he could bang his servant.. totally bs... but then there was a child outside of marriage and its okay? phssht.

    • @I-am-a-nobody Sarah is a very celebrated figure in the bible.

  • You could always. . . GET MARRIED AND HAVE SEX WITH YOUR SPOUSE. . .

  • God gave people sexual desire, but the sin nature inherent in us causes people to obsess over it, people tend to overstimulate themselves by doing things like watching pornography, the more they stimulate it, the more it grows, and it causes them to focus on it, dwell on it, till it consumes their every thought.

    Think of it this way, God programmed us with sexual desire, but the sin nature in us is like a glitch that causes it not to be as it should be.

  • God created sex, it is a gift of intimacy between a man and a woman that reflects God's love. It is for procreation as well, but enjoying each other is part of it, if it wasn't meant that way God could have easily designed reproduction in another way. He just as well designed sex to be enjoyed, the Song of Songs speaks lengthily in poetry of the pleasures of sex, the beauty of a young woman like that of a doe, always finding pleasure in her supple breasts etc. But it is always between a married man and woman.

    Desire God created, but lust is a sin that came with the Fall of Mankind and is exploited by the Devil. He uses our lust to pervert our natural desires into selfish, ungodly, and unnatural lusts. God's love is not selfish, it's a giving and free flowing love, which is what true sex between man and woman is supposed to be. And the Devil also tempts us to treat sex casually, as trivial, no big deal, just a pleasure of life to be enjoyed whenever. But that degrades its holy purpose. That is why sex within the sanctity of marriage is its true and pure form, that puts sex in its proper, glorious place. Between a man and woman in the bonds of matrimony, sex is not only celebrated but commanded by the Bible. Neither the man shall deny his wife, nor the wife deny the man intimacy when married, because God knows it's important, he made it after all.

    Of course, from all we know of Revelations, the coming new world order that God will impose on the cosmos, and the Kingdom he'll create on a renewed earth and heaven won't include sex any longer nor marriage. Because ultimately it is only a poor imitation of God's presence which can never be surpassed, and is what all humans secretly need and crave.

  • Devil? Lol you ever think that that bible you base right and wring from that been written and rewritten more times through life by man that just like a rumor I starts simple enough but give it a week and it’s out of control, that by time king James of England reworded it in h 1600s’ it didn’t change just a tad? I’d you have any doubt read the Song of Solomon it will make blow you away he in today’s world would be considered a pervert or worse, it was so bad the Catholic took it out of the Bible and Solomon was so holy according to the scrolls he was the only man swept off the earth by god and taken to heaven body and spirit, Alive but yet the Catholics thought it should be banned from the Bible and it was! Others to read about is Your so called angels they supposedly were infatuated badly with women that somehow they too then do mate with and impregnate women those stories are mind boggling and satan was the bad one sounds pretty mild compared to the the rest of them? Lol

  • To test us :D

  • Cause even then people make all the reasons for not being together.

  • What fictional characters were thinking is irrelevant, you can have as much or as little sex as you feel like.

  • I love how simplified everyone tries to make it.. Absolutely nothing else besides these 2 mystical beings has an affect on ones drive for pleasure through sex? does anyone else see the absurdity? Laurieluvsit u never have to seek forgiveness for being a little naughty or even a lot naughty!.. as long you are not being evil and predatory and creating victims than you are good... Naughty is wonderful... Being boring and square is just that boring and thas not God's fault or his delinquent brothers

  • as if god ever gave a shit xD he made us less than perfect to begin with and then was disappointed that we didn't behave perfectly. what a moron.

  • As human beings we are asli endowed with animilastic urges and its a form of lock and key mechanism men want to be in someone women want to fill there gap inside they want someone inside.
    So sex lust and love and life are given my god the tools to enjoy and pro create and reproduce by human will we all chose to feel the warmth of our hot bodies and rub with each other there is energy spark and there is a high, the desire to forget the things around and lost in lust completely endowed in each other as to melt within each other to be one...

    • That is so erotic! :)

  • I believe he gave it to us to enjoy but with guidelines. I don’t think he approves of sex just because you’re horny and only having hookups or fuck buddies, rape, child molesters, with animals, or homosexual

  • God has nothing to do with your will to do as you please accept you will be held responsible for your actions. When you decide to drink did got give you the Alcohol or did you walk to it with your own will and decided you want to drink. Billions of people live on earth without the need for alcohol or pervert ideas. Society place a big role in the way you interpret life and most times when we want keep doing something wrong we Justify by saying God says so taking Bible or any other religious book out of context. So before we blame God. We should ask ourselves why am even here on earth was it for enjoyment? To begin with. No it's a test. Real enjoyment begins when you go back to your REAL PERMEANT HOME. HEAVEN. THIS WORLD IS A TEST. ARE YOU PASSING IT OR FAILING THAT TEST IS THE REAL QUESTION?
