There is a belief that the flow of a man’s sexual energy if retained in the body, in a special way, can lead to eternal life. This process cannot be learned scientifically, it is guided by the spirit. This is made possible only through grace.

Sex for men is a problem caused by pride and affects the ego. It manifests as a physical sensitivity to temptation that focuses their lives to revolve around sexual fulfillment. This is an egotistical pursuit, necessary for their pride to survive. 

Once pride takes hold, a man’s state of being changes to a physical, fleshly, mortal one, marked by the sexual impulse. That changed state is the sexual impulse that should be embarrassing to him. However, many men cannot or refuse to see sex as a failing. Instead, they view it as a virtue.

They manipulate or look at women in such a way as to get them to love that failing as if it were a virtue, further perpetuating the cycle of more failing. Degrading a woman becomes necessary to get her to help him to degrade himself, creating a constant struggle. 

In the context of marriage, sex can be practiced until its true carnal nature is revealed as a failing that leads nowhere positive. Sex becomes a sin when one refuses to acknowledge it as a weakness and continues to build their pride. You will only “love” a woman who is willing to lie to you in this distorted sense. Loving a woman who lies to you is reminiscent of the first lie that led to the fall of the first man, Adam in the Garden of Eden, which caused him to become a perishable, mortal being.

Eternal Life

Abusing a woman ultimately leads to being abused in return, as one cannot abuse something (alcohol, drugs, food, etc.) without being abused. The corruption caused by this abuse requires reinforcement to sustain itself and creates a new corrupt life form. 

A sensible woman is willing to have sex with her husband as long as he does not derive an ego boost from it. Otherwise, he will continue to sexually use her more and more until she eventually becomes prematurely old and ugly.

The more one engages in sex, the more pain they experience. Conversely, the less one engages in it, the more they enjoy it. Perfection lies in abstaining altogether, living together as if brother and sister, with loving concern for each other.

By gaining control over their sexual energy, men gain authority in their homes. Complete control over man’s sexual energy can pave the way towards eternal life. ”For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:6.
