It is nearly impossible to avoid lustful M if you have been surfing the free teaser screens on the web or dabbling in cybersex chatrooms. Maximizing your pleasure means thinking long-term. If you hope to be married someday, it means realizing that lustful solo sex is a sin against your future spouse. And if God calls you to singleness, the false intimacy of porn and solo sex will destroy your capacity to enjoy real, healthy connection with other people. It also means thinking through the implications of your actions and realizing that you may be setting yourself up for sin.
Maximum choices recognize that sin is progressive.
Often, the sin you engage in now will continue to grow, gaining more and more control over your heart. Porn habits and M habits will only deepen. Sexual contact with your date will go from one thing to another, and with each new relationship you will want to start where you left off physically with the one before. You need to make maximum choices now, to protect yourself from yourself in the future and to maximize your own pleasure and peace in the long run. This is where you teens have an advantage over us adults.
