^Not hard at all, as a Christian I abstained from sex. I guess because you are too brainwashed and indoctrinated with pop culture it seems uncool or too difficult or weird, but not too long ago Christians abstained from premarital sex too.
Islam encourages marriage and married life. It does not deny human desires, but teaches us to channel them properly so that there is order in society not disorder and chaos like the western culture dictates. People f'ing around left and right, being picked up and used in one night stands, abortions, abandoned children, single moms, rape, etc...
Just the other day on CBC (Canadian broadcasting corporation), there was a documentary on sexualaziation of preteens. Seven year olds dressed like sluts, thinking and talking about sex, etc...
The western society construct is such a hypocritical and contradictory construct.
