Men, Your Virginity Matters Too!

Why is it that a woman's virginity seems to be so important; but when it comes to men, the topic of sex seems to be a bit different?

One of the greatest differences that I noticed before I became a Christian, was that men were praised for having sex with multiple women, while women were deemed to be whores if they have sex with more than one person. The same distinctions were there when it came to virginity also. If a woman was found to be a virgin, it was praised; but if a guy was found to be a virgin, he was usually shunned. 

Why does virginity matter?

Our virginity matters because it's one of the most sacred things that you could give to someone. God desires for us to honor him with our purity, and that goes for men and women. Although it seems to be rare for a man to save himself for marriage, I know many men that were strong enough to wait. They didn't give into the manipulation of "being a man" or "getting some hair on your face". These men understood the value of their virginity, and didn't want to give it to just anyone.

Honoring God with our bodies is one of the most challenging things for us to do. Simply because it's easy not to, and the temptation can be so strong in this perverted society. Sexuality is promoted on the television, in the music, and sadly, even in some churches. But a man that's after Gods own heart, seeks to please God more than a sexual pleasure.

Everyone don't deserve your virginity!

Yes men! Regardless how fine she is, how popular she is, and how many guys are want her, your purity and reverence towards God matters more. If she isn't your wife, she don't deserve the benefits of a wife. Your wife would rather you share that special moment with her, rather than with a random. Men, if she's that easy there's a reason why she is anyway lol. Don't fall into the trap of peer pressure and peer neglection. Never worry so much about what people think, that you're willing to lower your standard just to avoid peer neglection. God loves you so much that he will bring men around that will encourage you, and build you up on the path that he created you to be on.

You don't need practice!

People may try to persuade you that you need practice. That's a lie from satan. When you get married, you will get all the practice you need. And not only will God bless you with performance, but he will bless you with stamina also. God truly honors you when you honor him. Many of those sexual issues can stem from our lustful pasts. From pornography to fornication, that stuff can taint our sexual experiences. 

Men, your virginity matters. Never let anyone tell you differently. Never let your manhood or security come from what people think, but instead let it come from what God knows. He created us, so he knows what's best!
