Tempted to touch
Is it that men are weaker when it comes to resisting temptation? Or are both sexes equally culpable? Who is more vulnerable?
Below readers share their thoughts about whether they think their current partners are able to resist sexual temptation.
Marlene, 34:
I think that he will venture as far as kissing and flirting but I don’t think that he will actually go as far as to have sex. I can tell you right now that the relationship would be over if he did, though. I wouldn’t have to think twice about it.
Odane, 39:
I don’t believe that any one person is made for another. I don’t believe in soulmates, and so I can see my partner or myself succumbing to sexual temptation.
Lisa, 29:
I think that he can succumb to sexual temptation, which is one of the reasons why we are no longer together.
Tiffany, 27:
I’m not in a relationship right now, so I don’t know. But I don’t think that there are any loyal persons out there anymore which is one of the reasons I’m not in a relationship. It’s one of those things where once you get into a relationship with someone there are just so many factors going against you from the get-go — sexual temptation being a major one.
Roslyn 49:
Of course my man would resist. I think he realises that there are a lot of diseases out there and so it is in his best interest to be faithful to one person.
David, 35:
My girlfriend is faithful to me, I can assure you. The way she lives her life doesn’t give me the impression that she can’t resist temptation. She lock up inna the house everyday so she nah cheat. Unless Joe Grind a come fi look fi har when mi not there.
Earl, 43:
Everywhere you go sex is in your face. I find that most persons are not able to resist sexual temptation. For them sex is just sex regardless of whether or not they are in a relationship.
Phillipa, 30:
My boyfriend can’t keep his thing in his pants. I mean he is a guy and once he has been sexually aroused it’s like his judgement becomes clouded. It’s like he can’t think.
Shanique, 36:
I honestly don’t know what it is with these young men nowadays. You have to really stand your ground in a relationship and demand fidelity. If my boyfriend is tempted I believe if the girl says yes, he will say yes.
Ryan, 32:
Her Christian values would prevent her from doing those kinds of things.
