Don’t fall into the trap of believing you’re not a man if you haven’t had sex. 

Any two dogs or cats can have sex.  That doesn’t make them a man, does it?

Earthworms can reproduce.  Not exactly anything macho about earthworms, is there?

So sex isn’t something you should even consider as a rite of passage into manhood.

What makes a male a MAN is his ability and courage to say NO to the wrong thing at the wrong time

What makes a man a MAN is his focus on what’s right, not what may feel good for the moment.

What makes a male a MAN is your commitment to live responsibly and know that your thoughts and actions have consequences--for which you are accountable to society and to God.

Never forget that.

Just because you’re tempted, doesn’t mean you’re guilty.  Ask God to be faithful to His promise to provide a way of escape--a way to resist--a reminder to flee (not get involved in or submit to) temptations.
