A man’s sexual attraction for a woman does not always equate with a genuine love for her person. King David did not really need to know Bathsheba to sleep with her, he only needed to see her naked. Judah could sleep with Tamar without even seeing her face or knowing her name. Despite proof to the contrary, a segment of the female population still remains that strongly associate any and all sexual activity with being loved. Their intense craving for affirmation makes them highly promiscuous. They use sex in an attempt to receive such affection. When it fails, they simply move on to another relationship and try it again. Feeling as used goods makes it easier for her to be even more promiscuous the next time. This thinking and behavior turns little girls who dream of being loved into sluts. The Bible prophetically describes what happens to women who follow such a promiscuous path in graphic detail.
Every girl who might be tempted to use her sexuality to manipulate affirmation from men should read the following prophecy very carefully and consider what each phrase really means. Wisdom will keep you from being tempted by such a path. The prophecy is as follows:
“Because of the
multitude of harlotries of the seductive harlot, the mistress of sorceries, who
sells nations through her harlotries, and families through her sorceries. Behold I am against you; says the Lord of hosts. I will lift your skirts over your face, I
will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame. I will cast abominable filth upon you, make
you vile, and make you a spectacle. It
shall come to pass that all who look upon you will flee from you, and say
‘Ninevah is laid waste! Who will bemoan
her? Where shall I seek comforters for
you?” Nahum 3:4-7
Point 1: A woman reaps what she sows.
Every action has a consequence. The first phrase implies that if you do what
the harlot does, you will get what the harlot has coming to her. God is never mocked. A person reaps what they
sow. The consequences are outlined in each phrase and they are directly
correlated to the promiscuous behavior.
Point 2: Harlotry causes
breakups of families and nations
To sell something implies that you surrender it in exchange
for a price. Harlotry disintegrates
families. Turning such tricks over and
over again only spreads the carnage through an entire nation. Causing such damage only will bring about the
wrath of the Lord. This in turn causes
the Lord to meter out a certain set of judgments to the people who practice
such behavior. I will discuss the impact
these behaviors have on families and society in a later post. For now, let’s discuss the impact to the
promiscuous harlot or nymphomaniac.
Point 3: Harlotry reduces you to a mere sex object.
The first judgment implies reducing you to a mere sex
object. To lift a woman’s skirt over her
face implies that one cannot see her face anymore; it implies only her genitals
are now in view. A woman’s body parts
can easily upstage her personality if she is not careful. Her personhood becomes lost and she becomes
known only by one of the derogatory terms men have for such girls. All men are visual to some extent. Those who do not wish to think of her as an
object will steer clear of her. Only
those all too eager to exploit her will pursue her. So the only men that
surround her are those that would use her and this becomes her experience. Surrounded
by dogs, it becomes hard to be appreciated for anything but your body. As a result, giving your body away becomes
the only means through which affirmation appears to be obtained.
Point 4: Harlotry exposes your nakedness.
A woman who seeks out affection from men apart from a loving
relationship will have to continue to pay a higher and higher price to get
it. If you taunt a man for his affection
using sex as a ploy, he will eventually require you to take your clothes off
and reward his efforts. In the desperation to keep your affirmation
fix going, you will eventually comply to keep him doing it. Done repeatedly, your nakedness becomes
something of a public record. Any
personal privacy one may wish to enjoy is now gone. Especially in this day of
social media, promiscuity can strip someone of all access permissions to their
own body. Images can become a public
record for anyone to see at any time without express written consent. These images can be reproduced many times
over and eliminating them can become virtually impossible. It’s very hard to have any semblance of
dignity and respect with strangers when they all know what you look like
naked.
Point 5: Harlotry
exposes your shameful character
A person exposes more than just their physical body when behaving
as a harlot. They also expose your
character and the kinky lows to which you are willing to stoop. It’s hard to shake such a reputation once
everyone knows you are that kind of girl- a nymphomaniac. The stigma is very hard to shake. Once they know this about you, being
appreciated for anything else become very hard to acknowledge. Once the label is applied it becomes very
difficult for anyone to even think of you in any other light.
Point 6: Harlots
become a sexual toilet for men
As women give up sex to men over and over again; they become
used goods. Boys may line up to have sex
with the harlot but not a single one of them wants to be in a relationship with
her. They line up to use her, spill
their semen on her, and then leave her for somebody else. Becoming the community toilet for men makes
her virtually untouchable when it comes to love. Men really only have loving sexual regard
for a wife who saves herself exclusively for him. No man wants to marry the girl who has done a
thousand dudes. Unknowingly her
promiscuity becomes the very thing that repels men from relating with her. Far
from bringing her the love she thought it would in the beginning, her harlotry
has now cast this love far from her and made it unreachable. God can always restore what has been
destroyed through cleansing, but never as long as this behavior continues to
persist.
Point 7: Harlots
become spectacles and vile to their viewers.
Stuck with this label and in this rut, women often continue
these behaviors being the only thing they know how to do to get attention. However, the effectiveness diminishes with
time. The more they are used, the more
they become despised in the eyes of others.
Getting the same attention requires stooping to even greater lows. The more dirty and shocking the behavior
becomes, a woman gets a different kind of attention. She gets the kind of attention for being a
vile spectacle rather than for being an object of warm affection and love. They give her their attention, but they
loathe her instead of love her.
Point 8: Harlots
become lonely desolate old women.
Once all the shock wears off, no one wants to have anything
to do with her. She looks for sympathy
but none will give it to her. After all,
People have reputations to uphold in society. All who surround her are eventually laid waste
by it. They don’t want her stigma to rub
off on them. Without repentance, she
dies a lonely desolate woman. This is
the profile fate of the unrepentant harlot in a nutshell; the promiscuous
nympho who believes she will find love through her conduct only to find it
forever evades her. For heaven’s sake,
please do not take such a terrible path.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to be loved and God prescribes ways
of attaining it, but do not take an immoral path in trying to get it. The woman who avoids sexual immorality will
do herself a tremendous favor in the long run.
