Initial post of this thread.....

In our world today ,there are people with abnormal sexual addictions and probelms.And alot married couples today are not having normal relations in the intimacy department.
Now in the church these sort of issues exist ,although sex and human sexuality is considered a taboo subject to discuss in the church.
Should churches teach on sex ?
Sex in it's proper place is a gift from God and the Bible is far from silent on the issue of Human Sexuality.

Not having "normal" relationships in marriage I took as NOT having.......maybe I read that wrong.

If you also read, a pastor was preaching that the "only" position was the missionary position - that is not right and I was by no means making reference to sex shops.


You seemed to have come out of your shell - you gave much grief before on the Big Sexy Thread.

I think all this "opening up" isn't necessarily the best thing ....... depending.

Goodness gracious! This is the age of enlightenment. There's more talk and knowledge and discussion and movies and books written and open talk and joking about sex than ever before in history probably and still people don't think that there's enough talk about it.

I think we've crossed some lines that would have been better not to have crossed. Nothing is sacred anymore and I think that some things should still be and that not everything needs to be drug out into the open and "shared" and "talked about" because even with this the same problems still exist.

You've got women married less than a year talking about going to the [*bleep bleep bleep*] so they can get something new and interesting to keep their husband's interest and to keep things exciting, and I'm thinking if they're into that kind of stuff now what are they going to do to keep things interesting 5 or 10 years from now?!

Sorry to be a killjoy here if that's what it seems like. Just my 2 cents worth and now you can all come along and stone me.

I'm here to say that sex can be great 30 years into marriage -- in fact better than at the start -- and that's without some of this junk some of these young couples think they need to make things "good" and "interesting" a year or 2 into their marriage.

There, hope the slight edit makes this post less offensive.

Perhaps now some consideration can be given to the other few hundred words I wrote since the offensive words were deleted.
