You're right Joyful girl — most of us have a sex drive within us, and it was placed there for a reason. It's a good thing. We all know how powerful sex is though. There are some people out there — the holier than thou types or whatever — who claim sex is "evil" or "of the devil" or whatever. That's a bunch of BS. Sex is a good thing — God created it! However, he had a purpose in mind for it. It's not meant just to get off, you know. It's a powerful thing meant for married couples to grow more intimate together. You become one. That's what marriage is — the becoming of one. Although sex is good, what we do with it isn't always good. Sex can be destructive and harmful, not only to you and your partner, but others. We all know of all the diseases and everything you can get from sex and then there's the risk of having children (which I know all too well). Think of all the children who were born out of wedlock and the dad left and doesn't have anything to do with them or the mother. The mother is left raising the child and struggling through life as a single parent and the child doesn't have a father figure, which God intended him to have as much as he intended him to have a sex drive. (I'm not saying children born this way or his or her parents are bad people or any less of a person for their circumstances here either.)
Think of how harmful sexual abuse is too. It alone not only can alter how one views sex, but also relationships. My wife was molested by her real dad and her grandfather, and she's never trusted men (except me, which is why when we got pregnant I felt even worse).
I guess my point is that yes, God gave us a sex drive, but he wants us to fulfill it or spend it according to his guidelines and this isn't to restrict us, but to protect us AND to allow us to get the most of it.
