As a human, of course I feel tempted all the time, especially in our contemporary world filled with seductive material all round. But my faith, oh my sacred faith, is steadfast: Look, once the almighty God said we shouldn't have premarital sex, who am I, common human, to do otherwise?

(Laughs) Ok, I’m kidding. Let me be honest. Of course as a young adult male with feelings, I would want to have sex at some point. But my girlfriend values her virginity, for religious reasons. And I respect her decision. Above all, I also love her enough to wait.

In this modern day it is really difficult me. As a human being with needs I get tempted to try it out. However, my faith is what keeps me going. And lately, you find materials with sexual contents all over the place. music, movies, magazines, and even tv adverts. At times you even get ridiculed by friends when they find out that I am a virgin but I am keeping it for the sake of my faith and for my special future wife.

It’s very difficult to remain a virgin. In fact, I have had a lot of temptations in the past, and sometimes you feel like you have been left behind. Especially when you sit in the midst of friends and you hear them speak about all those sex stuffs.
In that moment, you begin to feel the urge to also try it. But my resolve to remain a virgin stems from the fact that I see no reason why I should do it now, when I have kept my virginity all his while. I feel I will be betraying my fate if I should engage in any sexual activity before marriage.
King, 22
Oh I think it's quite normal for people who are celibate to feel a sense of you missing out of something. Especially because sex and sexual connotations to things are all around us from social media to conversations with friends. But personally, I know the time and appropriate person will come so I am not really bothered about it.
