Martyr Philosophus - Saint for those with sexual problems

St. Philosophus suffered for Christ in Alexandria during the persecution by the emperor Decius (249-251). A legend concerning him relates that they urged the youth to deny Christ, but he remained steadfast. After suffering various tortures, he was placed on a soft bed, bound hand and foot, and a degenerate woman was left with him, in order to tempt him and make him fornicate. Dispite the womans advances, the saint bit off his tongue and spit it in the woman’s face. She was so horrified that she fled from him. The executioners, seeing the martyr's bravery and fearlessness, beheaded the saint with a sword. Feastday: May 31st
