Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
Dear Mister God, please forgive me for my terrible sins. You see, I enjoy telling dirty jokes, having dirty thoughts and discussing sex, pornography and homosexuality openly. I have several gay friends and I'd say stuff like "I'm a gay man trapped in a woman's body." I invented this game called "The Either Or Game" in which I'll ask my friends to choose between 2 people they can imagine having sex with. I also claim to be able to tell if a man is straight or gay just by speaking with him on the phone. The moment a gay man walks out of range, I'll yell out "My gaydar is going off the hook!". I've yet to fail stirring up excitement and laughter amongst my friends and even colleagues with my suggestive jokes and mannerism and I love the attention and response I get. I suppose my lack of respect for sex, made me disregard my own body in the past as I used to think "Oh it's just sex and everyone does it anyway." Well, I don't have sex anymore but I'm not sure if it's because I have learnt to value my body and exercise self-control or because I'm not in a relationship with anyone at the moment. Hmm... What about those sex jokes I make, even to this day? And when my gay friends ask me out to a gay club, do I say "no" or encourage them by accompanying them? I suppose I don't fully understand the seriousness of my willfull and perversed attitude yet but I pray that You will clear my mind from all these dirty thoughts and fill me with the holy spirit instead. I pray for pure and meaningful thoughts. I pray that the next time I have sex, it will be after I get married (and if it is not Your will that I find a husband, may I never fall into the old habit of disregarding my body again). I pray for wisdom to do / say the right thing the next time my gay friends ask me out to a gay club. Mister God, please use my body as an instrument to do Your work instead of wasting it on mindless thoughts and deeds. Last but not least, I pray that I'll always be funny without having to be suggestive or perverted. I sincerely pray, in Jesus' name. Amen. xx

"No temptation has overtaken you that is unusual for human beings. But God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. Instead, along with the temptation he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to endure it."1 Corinthians 10:13

Thanks Ah Yi and Ma. But it's so hard when you've started joking about sex / homosexuality at work and now all my colleagues think I'm fun / funny because I am open-minded and easy-going about such topics. On one hand it's very good that I'm very comfortable with my colleagues and I get along well with everyone because they think I'm funny but on the other hand, my old self is the one that is making all those sex jokes cos surely God won't use us to crack dirty jokes to other non-believers, will He? So I don't know if God approves my behaviour or is He angry ever time I tease someone or make fun of something sex related. xx
