How to Abstain From Sex as a Teen Male

Sex is a slippery slope and as a teenage male your body is pumping out huge amounts of hormones which drive your desire for sex. Staying abstinent is very challenging at this age but is also very rewarding.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Control what you put into your head. If you stare at women or enjoy sexual fantasies all day in your mind you are dooming your quest for abstinence.

2. Try to avert your eyes from women as much as possible. If you do catch yourself drooling stop and consciously find something else to look at.

3. Avoid pornography at all costs. If this means moving your computer to a more public part of the house that is what needs to be done.

4. Date girls who will help you stay abstinent and not tempt you to fall down the slippery slopes of sexual desire.

5. Pour your heart and soul into your quest for abstinence. Make it just as important to you as succeeding in as your favorite sport or hobby.

6. Read the book "Every Young Mans Battle" by Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker.

7. Seek guidance from a prominent male figure in your church. Church is a great place to get support in your quest for abstinence and meet likeminded people.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid having friends who take sex lightly as they will be a terrible influence on you.
• Be proud of your decision for abstinence and speak highly of it. Do not be ashamed of your choice or you will have a hard time holding to it.
• Know when to simply remove yourself from a tempting situation and as soon as you hear that little voice saying you should leave that is your queue.
• Do not underestimate the power of little things. Daydreaming about sex can lead to moments of weakness two or three days later when the thought resurfaces.

on 11/12/2008 Teenagers need this kind of support & reinforcement. Learning to manage ones energy/sex drive is also a great test of discipline which helps a man succeed in others aspects of life. Wonderful article.

on 9/21/2008 Being celibate while being a teen is very important. You will not regret it later on; but your "friends" will.
Use your energy in physical exercises. Becoming an athlete is very helpful. Change your diet to a vegetarian one and "feed your mind" with inspiring books.
