Is wanting to have sex a sin?

[katy perry is hot]

Absolutely not. If you want to have sex with someone, just do it. Don't let some religious bullshit dictate your life.

You don't have to 'truly love' them 😉

^this

Of course you don't have to

 

[Joshua Farrell]

Wanting sex with your wife or husband, no it is not a sin.
Wanting sex with someone that is not married to you, yes.

If it's a sin well than the cast of the Jersey Shore is going to hell.

So because you have a ring a marriage certificate then sex is different?

Well, to you and me that means nothing. To real devout christians, they find it to be VERY different. A marriage is a binding contract between you, your wife, and the lord, in their belief.

That's just one aspect of my religion (as I'm Christian in some form) I just don't understand. A ring and a certificate don't express your love. Of course back in the day of the Bible it was a bit more generic to be married so I can see how it was seen in those times.

Wanting sex isn't sinful - it's natural. In my view, if you act on those thoughts outside of marriage, it is a sin; but that's only what I believe.

Well, of course you don't have to truly love the person, but I view having sex with just anyone as wrong. That's not a religious view; it's just a personal belief.

Im going to say no it is not, If it was I would have done a lot of sinnin making my daughter.

I'd agree with you there. Sex is more than just a physical act.

Wanting to have sex is perfectly fine. Actually having sex (At least outside of marriage), on the other hand, is a different story.

 

[Zenrer]

I dont believe there it is a sin, nor is it a problem. Even if all you think about is sex, doesn't make it a problem. We all have different things that make us happy, sex to some, something else to others.

Because if I wanted to do something bad (Premarital sex risks STDs) then it's k, but if I got the STD I wouldn't be happy at all. In marriage you should know enough about the STD to not get it :lol:

You're delusional. You can get an STD in both situations. If I get married at age 12 with someone, that means I won't get an STD?

I was just giving a possible reason for it being a sin. Also lolololGimgak.

Anyway, "Sin" in religious terms is defined as defying God. Essentially he shoved sex in our minds and it's pretty hard to resist thoughts like that once in a while so no it isn't really a sin to me, despite Commandments 9&10 (And yes I know the Bible has thousands of commandments but out of the major 10) saying not to be lustful of your neighbor's wife.

I agree with this. I think the whole topic is misleading and some people have misinterpreted it completely. For one to agree/disagree if it's a sin or not, they must be religious and use it in a religious context. If you don't, your not religious, you're not answering the question and merely going off topic.

In a religious sense, "want" is similar to avarice, which is a sin.
