Proverbs 5 - Save Yourself

5:16 Why spill the water of your springs in the streets, having sex with just anyone? 17 You should reserve it for yourselves. Never share it with strangers

Never give yourself to an immoral woman it will only be to your demise, especially for a Christian man. How do people live with one night stands. They don't really. It is a very shallow existence and those you have been with rob you of your strength. John Eldredge even goes a step further in his book "Wild at Heart". He talks about how masturbation robs you of your strength. I have heard many different viewpoints on this subject. Some say it is immoral and site one scripture in the bible that they use to justify this. I have heard others (James Dobson) say that masturbation is acceptable in a non-marriage situation as long as you do not use visual stimulation during the act. I don't agree with James Dobson on this and tend to lean towards John Eldredge's interpretation. I think this scripture is clear. Don't waste your seed casually, don't share yourself with anyone. You should guard yourself, guard your heart, and guard the precious gift God has given us for marriage and procreation
