Read Genesis chapters 38-39.
Both chapters share the theme of sexual temptation. Judah (ch. 38) shows a person what not do to. Joseph (ch. 39) shows a person what to do (flee).
Both chapters result in immediate, negative circumstances. Judah gets his daughter-in-law pregnant and Joseph goes to jail for something he didn't do.
If participating in immorality and not participating in immorality both have or can have negative consequences, then why not participate? Briefly tell Judah and Joseph's stories, then emphasize that believers in Jesus shouldn't be ruled by feelings or pragmatism.
Another angle to consider: What do you do with a troubled sexual past?
