The battle against lust and the corruption of sexuality has been going on since the beginning of civilization.
The first ever commandment, today known as “The Cultural Mandate” directs us to “go forth and multiply”. We were made for procreation and sexuality has always played a large role in our existence. In Creation, everything was made good. It was God who created sexuality and it was God Himself who commanded us to take part in the role of co-creators; pro-creators if you may.
Being sexual creatures, we become naturally attracted to sex. We become easily tempted and easily swayed to derive of its pleasures without consideration to its natural and divine purpose. All the enemy had to do was to stimulate these minds, and down the hill we roll. Sexual sins multiplied and society itself was pulled down.
