I agree with Mark that sexual desire is a burden in both men and women. However no blame should go to either God or Satan, as they're both ficticious characters. We're only one among many animal species in a farm run by psychopaths. Therefore, the need to burden us with sexual desire early in life in order to succeed in replacing us before we die. That's what it's all about. Neither an imaginary loving god nor an evil Satan are needed, when the owners of the farm are wicked sociopaths.

IMO, the ultimate God-ordained purpose of humanity is to populate the universe. Therefore, since the universe is inconceivably vast, God had to come up with a way to do so; and the solution was/is sex.
There is no way to escape the god ordained human libido short of castration, frequent masturbation, or marriage. But not everyone can, or should, marry, therein lies the problem. I've read that the so-called church father Origen castrated himself.
Sex would have been perfect if the Creator had designed it with an on/off mechanism; but He didn't. Even the apostle Paul wrote that: "It is better to marry than to burn [with lust]" (1 Cor. 7:9).
But Paul didn't tell us what those who cannot marry are supposed to do. Are the only solutions to the human libido castration, frequent masturbation, and marriage?

I think people underestimate the level of demonic possession of the mind. I think Mark assumes that our God given sex drive is condition enough to make us perverts and what the Bible term as whoremongers.
Being addicted to pornography from an early age (6 yrs old) I later wondered, while happily married, why I couldn’t avoid my failures. I wondered, is this what is is to be male?
Come to find out the answer was no. You can live and have a thought life totally free from lustful thinking. And let me tell you, it is a truly wonderful experience. What freedom and joy is possible and expected by God for all believers.
It took me 60 years to figure out it was possible I’m sad to say. That is not a result of decreased virility in my case. I have not experienced that at all. It is simply the act and discipline of bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
I realized, at one point, that I was going to Hell for this agreement with evil no matter what my religious convictions were. Our lives tell a story and that story proves who we really are. Our story is not defined by what we believe but what we do.
I was self deceived all those years thinking I could get away with it! I finally got honest with myself and agreed that if I die a whoremonger I will get a whoremongers reward and justly so.
If you can hate the filth and the evil, you will soon recognize that its’ origin is actually demonic and not the normal human condition. Save yourselves men! The freedom and power is absolutely amazing!

Have you ever considered the possibility that your level of testosterone has been increased artificially? I have had similar thoughts about how God created us in terms of sexuality but I think it was not God who put artificial ingredients into our food supply... of course you have to consider the fact that today for most men they have the opposite problem because of microplastic and so on in the food supply what imitates the female hormone. We will be in big trouble in about 20 years when the pollution goes on like this. Fertility is going down rapidly...
