I truly believe this is a battle between the flesh and the spirit. The battle rages in me personally all the time. It is basically the battle that inspired the book “Every Man’s Battle”. The inclination to look and think sexually is, to a great degree, “natural”. But all that is natural is not godly. And of course, we all know we are surrounded and bombarded 24/7 with the temptation to look and think sexually. We don’t deny the impulses and temptations exist, but we are called, I believe, to resist them at every turn. I believe the 1 Cor 7 teaching is not altogether separated from this reality.
