Yeah, but why preach to others about it? 

It's as @Leo Gura said: Direct experience is king. In all actuality he is building experiences suffering the consequences of sex and adultery to preach against it better ☝️🤓

Me personally? Or hypothetically if I did have that desire? 

Personally, I just don't have a desire to have sex with lots of men.

I know men usually feel that way about women. But from the perspective of most women, having sex with a lot of guys is not very interesting. And honestly, if we did find it interesting, it's pretty easy to set that up. Just approach any guy on the street and there's like a 60% chance he'll say yes.

And it's somewhat uncommon for me to develop a strong enough feelings for a guy to want to be physical with him, as I'm not very interested in the physical experience of sex without the presence of deeper feelings of heart-centered intimacy and the ability to surrender into the long-term pair-bonding process... as the long-term pair-bonding process is where I feel the actual feelings of intense desire and eroticism. 

And (15 years ago) when I was 20 years old and I was single and didn't have much of a friendship/family support network, I did have several brief flings and one-night stands with some guys that I didn't have very strong feelings for. But I found those experiences to be lack-luster. They were more boring than I expected them to be because there wasn't much there to derive a compelling meaning from. 

That said, if I do have those kind of thoughts or feelings arise that might lead me to want to seek intimacy with someone (which happens like once every other year or so)... I don't shame myself for them or repress them away. I observe myself having them and let myself feel them and even enjoy the feelings as they come.

They are normal sexual feelings and resisting them gives them more power and meaning than they actually have.

So, I also keep in mind that these feelings don't have some kind of magic meaning to them... like I'm meant to be with who I'm feeling them towards. 

And I've been through that feelings-cycle enough times to know that those feelings are only meaningful if I make them so. And that, if I followed them every time I felt them, I'd be in a bi-yearly cycle of changing relationships. And that would be very ungrounding and unfulfilling.

But to be clear, my husband and I are married, live together, and raise our kids together. But we haven't been in a romantic relationship for over 5 years. So, we have the family and friend element of the relationship still... but not the romantic element.

Got it. Have you not been sexually active in 5 years?

I guess my main point is; you dont need to repress sexuality to not engage in sex. As you say, its perfectly fine to having sexual urges, thoguhts without acting on thdm or repressing them. Its also perfectly normal to define healthy and unhealthy sexual expressions to me

I agree with that. But that's not what I mean by repression.

Repression is where someone has all this shame about having sexual feelings and thoughts.

And I was giving an example of how that manifested in a very religious person with lots of sexual shame.

I mean probably a random youtuber made it and some advisors told Trump to run with it.

It‘s a catchy song though Spanish is beautiful.

The dancing though oh
