If you are now alone & it seems unlikely that you will be able or willing to try to establish a real relationship with someone of the opposite gender in the near future (or perhaps even for a quite a while), perhaps due to the recent ending of a relationship, what can one do to block or divert one's natural human desire for sex (with a person of the opposite gender)?  Is it necessary to ignore such urges?  What does the Bible say about this?

Here's a kind of straw poll for the Wondercafe crowd:

How do sexuality and marriage go together? Do you think people should wait for sex until marriage? Until they're in a committed relationship (and if so, what does committed mean)? Or should they wait at all?

If you would identify yourself as a christian, how much does the bible guide your views? Do you disagree with it (just considering this general topic)?

Or perhaps more to the point - how do you *interpret* the bible on this issue?
