How do you keep from being part of the one night stand "highlight reel" of a player who is a KO artist? How do you keep a playeress from tapping you out and making you look stupid in front of your friends, family, coworkers and, dare I say, congregation? Fortunately, the basic tactic is the same for both of them: stay out of their range. In other words, DON'T HANG OUT ALONE WITH THEM.
Going off alone with a player or playeress is as stupid as dropping your hands in front of Mike Tyson or going to the ground with Royce Gracie. First off, like a certain boxer whose name rhymes with "Dayweather", these people tend to fight overmatched opponents. In other words, if they target you, they will probably be:
1) A lot older than you
2) A lot smarter than you
3) A lot richer than you
4) A lot hotter than you
5) A lot more popular than you
Secondly, there aren't any referees or state commission officials to make sure that they don't cheat by, for example, getting you rip-roaring drunk (think of this as the seducer's version of using performance enhancing drugs). In other words, players and playeresses will do everything they can to rig the game so that you will lose. So shut down their game plan and DON'T PLAY!!!
This is a very simple and effective tactic, but it isn't easy. These people have all sorts of tricks to lure you into their range. Such as a college stud inviting you and your friends to a party before using their wing men to isolate you by luring your bffs away. Or foxy freshman girl asking you to walk her home at night to "be a gentleman" (hint: most "good girls" arrange safe travel beforehand so that they aren't at the mercy of a stranger who is twice their size). I could tell you a thousand different counters to these tricks, but then someone would come up with trick number 1001 and you'd be screwed. Literally. So instead, I'll tell you some general tactics that will help you in every situation.
1) Submit yourself to Christ. This will give you the resolve to protect your V-card no matter what, so make this Plan A-Z.
2) Safety in numbers. Players and playeresses are like the predators on the Discovery Channel. They tend to prey on those whom they perceive as weak, and to these people, alone=weak. So be strong and humble enough to travel in a herd.
3) Get out of the shark tank! Don't hang out at nightclubs, bars, frat parties, or other places where these people hang out unless you want your virginity to be devoured like a "Jaws" victim. Oh, and, while we're at it, STOP GETTING DRUNK AROUND THE OPPOSITE SEX!
4) Be suspicious of "overqualified candidates." For example, if the star quarterback of your school's football team takes an interest in you, and you're the president of the chess club, it's unlikely that he is interested in learning any openings that don't involve you spreading your legs. Likewise, if you are a young man doing online work at a coffee shop and a gorgeous, mature former model tells you that she has observed "how hard you work", she may want to figure out what else is as hard as your work ethic (especially if she is having marital troubles). Remember, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.
5) Worse case scenario, if they do get you alone and you figure out what their true intentions are, RUN! If you're a girl and the guy gets violent, fight until you can escape. You're better off getting away with a bloody nose and black eye than letting a date rapist turn your internal organs into shredded beef and permanently sabotage your emotional and mental health.
If you're a guy, and a girl tries to corner you, RUN FASTER! Because if you two are alone and you reject her advances, she may get pissed off and claim that you tried to take advantage of her. And due to today's social climate, whatever the girl says happened, happened. Ditch the nympho before she gets you alone and keep your reputation intact. It's much easier than having your name dragged through the mud as you battle a bogus rape charge in court and fight off the advances of your cellmate, Big Bubba.
2 Timothy 2:22 "Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." (NIV)

Protecting Your Chastity MMA Belt, Part I: Is Your Opponent Going For The KO? Or The Submission?
Being a virgin nowadays is like being an MMA champion: EVERYONE wants to take your belt away. Being a male doesn't shield you from this because many women have taken the sexual double standard and thrown it headlong through a plate-glass window. In other words, there is a rising population of "playeresses" who are just as aggressive and ruthless as men. In order to prepare you for what to expect, I am going to tell you about the two most common types of players: the striker and the grappler.
The ultimate goal of a striker is to go for the KO. In sexual terms, this would be the one night stand. A striker will change levels (i.e. modify their behavior to match what they think your "dream guy/girl" is) and use feints (i.e. pretend to actually want a relationship with you) to set up that one big punch or kick. Rest assured that when the knockout blow comes, it will be too fast for you to see it. You will basically wake up next to them in bed the next morning wondering how on earth they got you in the sack. To add insult to injury, that will probably be the last time you see them. After they have a "post-fight presser" with their perverted friends to brag about how they got your belt, they will forget you and move on to the next challenge. You can probably guess that most strikers are male.
The ultimate goal of a grappler is to get the submission. In sexual terms, this means either getting a sugar daddy/mama or a "boyfriend/girlfriend" who is really just a boy toy/friend-with-benefits. Like a highly skilled BJJ practitioner, they will wait patiently for an opportunity to take you to the ground (i.e. they will act like a well-meaning, platonic friend until they earn your trust and confidence). When this happens, they will maneuver you into the position that they want through subtle, precise movements until they get you into a submission hold (i.e. lure you into a relationship that is anything but platonic). Unlike strikers, who usually just knock you out and move on, grapplers won't let go until they make you tap (i.e. bleed you out of all of your money or all of your self-respect). Once this happens, they get bored and move on to the next challenge. It comes as no surprise that most grapplers are female.
While these two types of players have very different strategies, the key to beating them is the same. To find out how, read next week's blog post.

Marital MMA: Win The Undisputed Championship!
Are you ready to experience "The Sexual Force Unleashed" and "Romantic World Peace" as a Marital Mixed Martials champion (a.k.a. godly husband/wife)? If so, there is one crucial first step you must make: you must give your life completely over to Christ.
Trying to win the Marital MMA championship without Christ is like training to beat Jon Jones or Ronda Rousey with Tae Bo videos. You'll get your butt kicked and look stupid in front of everybody in the audience. If you want to succeed, you need to join a training camp. And to become part of Team Immanuel, you must be born again.
The best part about being a member of Team Immanuel is that you can't get kicked out or cut. Once you join, Christ will be the Lord of your life for all of eternity. Think head coach to the infinite power! If you are sincerely willing to leave your life behind and follow Him into eternity, acknowledge your sin. Repent. Accept Christ's death on the cross and resurrection as payment for your sins so that He can become your personal Savior. Once He becomes your personal Savior, then He will do whatever it takes to turn you into a Marital MMA champion (if you let Him).
That being said, joining Team Immanuel is one thing. Winning your division's Marital MMA title is another. If you constantly show up late, train halfheartedly, and act like a jerk to your teammates, Christ won't kick you out. He'll simply bench you. And if you don't fight, you can't win the title. So if you really want to excel in Marital MMA, and make the most of your membership to Team Immanuel, go all out every time you come to the gym. Only then will you truly experience the joy of being a Marital Mixed Martial Artist and start winning battles in the cage of this world.
Of course, nobody is ever handed a championship. You have to earn it. Christ will test your resolve by matching you up against the most ruthless foes you can imagine. The foes on the way to a Christ-centered marriage are numerous, but they tend to fall into five categories. These are:
1) The players/playeresses
2) Your peers
3) The culture/world
4) The demonic kingdom
5) The reigning champion of your division, who will be revealed later (hint: it's not Satan)
I will cover these opponents in depth over the next five posts. However, while they all have their unique strengths and weaknesses, the key to beating them is the same. If you fight them through the power of Christ, you will eventually succeed.
Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (NKJV)

Resurrected Virgins: The North Stars Of The Christian Faith
For centuries, sailors used the stars of the night sky to guide them to safe harbors as they traveled through the darkness. The most important of these is Polaris, the North Star. Polaris is not only the brightest star that appears at night: it's also the only one which does not move. Those who wait until marriage for their first sexual encounter (provided that their marriage is Christ-centered and between one man and one woman) will be as the sun, the star which gives life to the creatures of the earth. For those who have failed, becoming the sun is an option that is sadly no longer open to them. However, through repentance, faith, and love, they can still become Polaris, the North Star, through the only one who can bring their sexuality back to life: Jesus Christ.
As those of you who have had premarital sex already know, there's no returning to Eden. Once you lose your V-card, it's gone. Nothing that you do can get it back. However, thanks to what Christ did for us on the cross, you can enter the New Jerusalem, the holy city which is the final paradise for all who believe in Him. If you repent of your sin and give your life to Christ, He will heal and restore your whole being, including your sexuality. Even though He may not make all of your problems go away (i.e. you will probably still have to deal with baby momma drama, deadbeat dads, or medical bills related to what you did), He will give you "World Peace Of The Soul" and "The Spiritual Force Unleashed" through eternal fusion with Him, transforming you into a resurrected virgin. Out of His mercy, He may still allow you to experience "The Sexual Force Unleashed" and "Romantic World Peace" within a Christ-centered marriage. I even read about a former porn star who became born-again and was miraculously cured of an STD that she had contracted, although this is extremely rare. Now, depending on your particular circumstance, getting another chance at "The Sexual Force Unleashed" and "Romantic World Peace" is not guaranteed. However, through Christ, all things are possible. At the very least, if you let Him, He will transform you into a human "North Star" who will guide the lost sailors (i.e. unbelievers) of the world into the safe harbor of His Salvation through your testimony.
On a side note, I want to make it clear that you are ONLY responsible for sexual encounters that you consented to. If someone (be they male or female) forced sex onto you, assaulted you while you were drunk, or molested you when you were a defenseless child, you are not to blame for the encounter. If that has happened, I strongly urge you to allow Christ to heal you through a saving relationship with Him, godly therapy, and a church small group which is SAFE, OPEN and RESPECTS CONFIDENTIALITY. Contrary to popular belief, these do exist. Just be aware that you may have to look harder for support if you are a male victim.
For those of you who have consented to forbidden sex (which is any sex before or outside of a marriage between one man and one woman), for whatever reason, then you can only experience a resurrected sexuality if you take responsibility for your participation in that encounter. It takes two to tango, especially if the tango happens to be "horizontal" and "clothing optional." If you accept responsibility for what you did, repent, and give your sexuality and life over to Christ, then He can truly transform you into Polaris, the brightest star in the night sky.
John 11: 25 "Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;" (NIV)

How To Receive The Purity Which Is Necessary To Experience The Full Power Of Human Fusion
To experience the full power of human fusion within marriage, and to reap the benefits of "The Sexual Force Unleashed" and "Romantic World Peace", you must become pure. However, purity is not gained through the means that you think.
You do not become pure through following a bunch of rules and regulations. Abstaining from immoral behavior without dealing with your heart's horny fantasies is like exercising at a gym that is sandwiched between a pizzeria and an ice cream shop. You may resist the urge to indulge for a while, but sooner or later, you will slip. When you do, you will fall. Hard. Not least because that smoking hot 19-year-old babe /totally ripped 27-year-old stud who called your bluff will be on top of you.
You do not become pure through obeying your parents or acting good to fit in with your strict, traditional peers (assuming that you grew up in that kind of culture/subculture). Believing that you're a moral and chaste person because you can control yourself when Mom and Dad are watching your every move is like believing that you're a great swimmer because you can stay afloat in your backyard swimming pool. It's easy to keep your head above water when your feet can touch the bottom. However, God will eventually put you to the test by throwing you into the ocean (i.e. the real world). And in the ocean of the real world, those who can't swim either:
A) Drown in addictions such as hardcore porn or "romance" e-books (a.k.a. hardcore porn for women).
B) Become shark food for the players and playeresses who make "Jaws" look like "Finding Nemo."
You do not become pure through trying to win the heart of your "true love." It may sound chivalrous and romantic to try to prove yourself worthy of some virgin princess or Prince Charming. However, what you are actually doing is turning that person into a marital trophy or championship belt. You are like a guy who is only training in the martial arts to win a UFC title or a girl who is only dieting to win "America's Next Top Model." You'll either:
A) Get discouraged and quit when you realize just how ruthless your competitors for Mr./Miss Perfect are (and realize that these competitors won't necessarily stop when you are dating, courting, or married to this person).
B) Become disillusioned when Mr./Miss Perfect turn out to be just as human (and screwed-up) as you are. Or worse.
C) Make an idol out of Mr./Miss Perfect, which will leave you devastated if you ever lose them (i.e. they dump you or die young)
So how do you REALLY stay pure before marriage? It's actually very simple.
YOU WILL ONLY BECOME PURE IF YOU DECIDE IN YOUR HEART THAT YOU WOULD RATHER DIE THAN SIN AGAINST JESUS!!!!
You cannot achieve purity. You must receive it from Christ. If you try to get it on your own, you will fail. At best, you will put on a fake smiley face for the rest of the world while your forbidden urges rape your heart, mind, and soul. However, if you welcome Christ into your life, and are willing to die for Him, you will succeed. He will cast out your forbidden urges, give you the strength to conquer temptation, and provide you with healing that you never thought was possible.
Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (NKJV)
So do you have Christ in your life? Are you willing to die for Him? If so, you will succeed. Even if you have failed in the past, Christ can raise your sexuality from the dead and give you a romantic rebirth. To find out how, read next week's post.
