Recently, I have been thinking about whether women, like men, also struggle in the face of desires. You rarely see any evidence suggesting that they have desires. All I see is how desires drive men. I know that everyone's constitution is different, but in the end, we are all passionate beings. Is desire merely desire? Or do women have different desires? If you have time, please give me some feedback.

We urgently need to admit a fact: lust, pornography and masturbation are not just problems for men. Girls, like men, also struggle to maintain pure thoughts and lives. Women find it difficult to read romance novels and pornographic novels, to watch pornographic films or movies with sexual scenes, to masturbate, to imagine a man bare-chested on the beach, or to imagine a man in shorts playing football and having a muscular build. They also find it hard to establish a closer relationship with their boyfriends before marriage.

I know this is not a problem for every woman, but for many women, it is indeed a problem. This has been the case since ancient times - think of Potiphar's wife. She was infatuated with the handsome Joseph and tried to seduce him (Genesis 39:6, 7). Additionally, remember that God commanded husbands and wives to be together (1 Corinthians 7:1-5). Sex was created for the pleasure of men and women. Women are sexual beings and have sexual needs - although the instincts of men and women are different, the desire for intimate love and the temptation to satisfy this desire in various wrong ways still exist.

We need to change this mindset because the only message we are instilling in girls is: 1) Do not have sexual intercourse before marriage; 2) After marriage, they must submit to their husbands in terms of sex; 3) Men always think about sex while women do not do so. As a result, girls develop incorrect perceptions of sex. If they desire intimacy, but find that their husbands are less interested in it after marriage, or if they find it difficult to resist sexual temptation, they will think there is something wrong with themselves.

But the world will tell them that they are normal - so guess where they will go to seek more information? I can tell you this because I have talked to those girls who are struggling and feeling lonely. I was once that girl struggling and feeling lonely too. I can tell you that they will turn to the world to seek recognition, they will turn to the world to satisfy all their curiosity, and by doing so, they will go astray in the world and satisfy their desires in the wrong way.

We need to admit that this is a problem and start taking active steps to solve it.
