Tips
for Remaining Sexually Pure
1. Develop your own personal boundaries for sexual activity
and let your potential partners know about these boundaries
early in the relationship.
2. Make a choice to realign your peer group (friends)
to include like-minded people especially other Christians
who are committed to honoring God and their own personal
boundaries in their character and conduct.
3. Find an accountability partner (of the same sex as
you, do not fool yourself into thinking you can have accountability
on this with someone of the opposite sex) with whom you
can be completely open, honest, and vulnerable who can
help keep you from falling into temptation that could
lead to sexual activity.
4. Share your pledge of sexual purity with as many others
as you can find (parents, dates, close friends) to help
underscore the seriousness of your commitment.
5. Make careful decisions about whom to date and where
dating activity takes place.
6. If you make a bad choice, promptly admit it especially
with your accountability partner then get back on track.
7. Remind yourself often that premarital sexual activity
can result in unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted
disease, emotional problems, and spiritual problems, to
name a few of the consequences.
8. Walk away, use the telephone, or call a parent or friend
if you find yourself in a compromising situation.
9. Be of help to a friend in his or her fight to remain
sexually pure (again make sure you are helping someone
of the same sex as you).
10. Avoid all drugs and situations where they are likely
to be present.
11. Avoid all drinking situations or occasions.
12. Don’t let yourself become overly dependent on
another person.
13. Seek knowledgeable help when you feel weak.
14. Live in TODAY, not yesterday.
15. If something seems confusing then ask questions. The
only stupid question is the one not asked.
16. Be willing to go to any lengths to stay sexually pure.
17. Be honest and consistent.
