Why do all you women feel compelled to give advice to a man about personal sɛҳuąƖ matters?
Why are you so ignorant as to believe that only men are tempted to sins of impurity? I don't know what MyrnaM meant by her post (whether she was NOT referencing women, but only men), but I do know what I mean by "giving advice." It is hardly only to men. So I will "teach" women, whether or not you personally want me to teach women. I don't think you are the moderator of the forum.
So, women (because apparently some men on CI believe that "only men" are tempted to impurity), we know that we are also tempted, even though some of those temptations are quite different, or can be, being that so often ours are verbal rather than -or in addition to-- visual. We are "wired" differently than men are; we have much in common, though, with men, and with the advice given by Matthew and at least a couple of others here, regarding idleness, regarding fidelity in prayer, regarding practice of the sacraments.
So Tradhican can ignore me while I speak to the others. On a personal level, I will tell you that when I am tempted to impurity, it is most often
because I actually need to go to confession for other sins, and I have been ignoring some persistent vices (attachments to venial sins, and venial sins which are getting close to mortal in level). This happened to me recently, by the way. My barely-resisted temptations to impurity were a screaming signal to get the heck to confession. Once I did, immediately those pressures vanished. Thanks be to God for the sacraments.
