In this busy world, it’s common for spouses, partners, or significant others to be away from each other due to work, travel, or other commitments. Often, the person who is traveling also has their own physical and emotional needs that need to be satisfied. This can be a challenge, and self-control becomes essential.
The Apostle tells us that self-control is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. However, especially for men, resisting temptations can be difficult when they’ve been away from their partner for an extended period. The desire for intimacy is not exclusive to men; women also need closeness, especially during long trips.
In this context, the question that many people ask is how to maintain a healthy and faithful relationship while being apart from their partner, and how to manage their physical and emotional needs without compromising their commitment to each other.
Is it a sin to have phone sex or popularly known as “sexting” with your beloved?
This is not an ethical or moral issue. If you think about it, it’s quite simple. Although if you have never made a phone call specifically to “have phone sex or talk about sex on the phone,” it can be understood that it is one of those trends in the modern world and in relationships. The general consensus is that this is not a sin.
Having sex with one’s spouse through intercourse (penetration) or masturbation, either alone or with a partner, is especially common when the woman is menstruating, about to give birth, or receiving some medical treatment that does not allow the couple to engage in sexual activities. It’s hard to see why it would be wrong to stimulate the penis or vagina until there is ejaculation or climax.
Not a sin but a series of expressions:
Furthermore, phone sex is simply about expressing sexual desires and does not involve physical control over one another. Couples can express their intimacy by talking with each other and allowing their partner to understand their body’s temptations and needs without being physically present.
The Bible states that sex is only permissible within the context of marriage. However, phone sex is a natural way to satisfy one’s desires. It can teach you many things, such as understanding exactly what your partner wants as they openly express it.
Also, some argue that sex is solely for reproduction. However, many women can no longer have children after the age of 50, yet their sexual relationships can still be enjoyable and fulfilling for many years. Therefore, having a phone sex chat session with your partner when you are separated is a better alternative than visiting a prostitute or turning to pornography in a hotel room, which could harm your relationship. As the saying goes in America, “It’s no contest!” It’s simply about expression.
