Today, I was having a conversation with someone about this and they made and interesting comment. This person said that they really couldn't post a comment because they have issues with sex and that they couldn't really say that it was the fault of the church for not talking about it. As, I began to think about that I had two questions:
1) Given the proper tools would you have made the same choices?
2) Who should be talking about this?

Sex has become a dirty word and it was never intended to be that. Sex gets treated like a four-letter word; it’s a forbidden topic to be spoken of only when absolutely necessary, if at all, and usually not in a constructive way. Sex has become a sacred subject and the church generally prefers not to talk about it. The decision not to talk about it keeps it masked in ignorance. It has also created negative attitudes about sex, and leads most to listen to the worlds view. Because the worlds view makes it such an awesome experience.

Everyday people young and old are making life altering decisions concerning sex and are doing so without all the facts. Sure, you get the "Where Babies Come From" speech in your JR High Health Class. But, that's only the natural side. Sex the way God intended, the spiritual side is a very important part. Who better to teach that than the church?
 

I think that it is interesting that someone who has a problem with sex, would not be willing to talk about it in a forum where they can get their issues out in the open without anyone knowing who they are (tell them to post anonymous). In addition to that, how are we as the Body of Christ, or even as a people in general, ever going to move forward if we are not able to speak about those things that are holding us back from fully operating in the will of God for our lives.
You are correct in that sex has become a dirty word, but should not the church bring the glory back to God's creation? Like I have said before, this is not only an issue with the married couples, but also with those that are not married. The Church needs to address every area of sex.
 

So, true WOF. I asked the same question, "What better opportunity to seek help but yet remain anonymous." But, I haven't seen a post yet. Naivety, fear, and embarrassment will keep you from victory. Places like this that lend the platform that give people the opportunity to seek help without feeling the spotlight. It’s the exposure that stops most people from dealing with their issues.

It is going to take radical ministries to step out there and address the issues that so many of us are facing, saved and unsaved. The body of Christ has a responsibility to prevent as well as restore the damage. The question now is when and who?
 

caysoni really believe that we should not only talk about but bring it ro reality b showing what the results and staticts on what it brings and how it destroys our lives and relationships wit people..its like were not willin to wait and the worst thing is this, that once u start its hard to stop . its is just as worst as ant drug ..an fact it is a drug..for so many years i have started relationships off wit sex and it has gotten me in more trouble than any thing else cause i realize that after my high i dont wanna be bothered ..and not only that i had a attatchment to some one i couldnt get rid of and a soul tie ..God has a standard and many times i have fell due to the lack of attention and how important this issue is and wonder why i dont have peace..well if anyone reads this i am here to tell u that u should listen to my life and undertsand that its not wonderful to do things out of order..it takes just as much work to get it right as appose to starting it..think about all the people u may affect by just one decision..listen to Gods word and keep ur virture..its worth the wait in the long run and u wont end up like David,Soloman or even me were u have periods of trials that u dont need

I feel that many people inside the church don't talk about sex because they are having sex themselves,no matter if it is out of wedlock or an affair. "What you don't know won't hurt you" is the quote I used to go by, however it seems as if "God's people" are saying "What we don't talk about, others won't know". How can someone tell me not to have sex when I know for a fact that they are cheating on their spouse? or How can you help me out of a situation and you're not trying to help your self out of the same bondage that I am in? Many churches know that there is unmarrital sex going on because their congegation full of teens is the majority of the growing family population. However, these people just let things keep going on for whatever reason-the least they could do is talk to them about condoms. In no way am I saying that I believe in condoms or birth control, but if their Pastor is not going to keep it "Real Raw and Relavant" like we get it, then they should at the least keep their teens Safe, uninfected, and baby free. I don't know why it would be so hard to help someone through something that you have already been through unless you are still doing it.
 

Amen! I have found out that many times when you look around and realize that there is a fear concerning the discussion of a particular subject-that when I make the decision to "come out the box" and bring it to light; others soon follow. Becuase I am not the only one who is tired of seeing these kids(and grown folk) running around here like they aint got no good sense.

Shoot. Anybody that knows me should know that I really don't care who wants to look at me crazy cause I'll tell them too that if they don't care about the future of our youth then they can keep on steppin cause we got alot of work to do.

My favorite saying is that "Aint nothing to it but to do it!" You/We see there is a problem : no one wants to talk about sex...soooo...ANSWER: Someone start the domino effect and start talking about it.
 

What is funny is sex sells...in the world what used to be "hush-hush" is now out in the open. We became quiet as a church because we did not want anyone to know that we could fall too. We do our kids a disjustice by not educating them both physically and spritiually in the areas of sex and its purpose.
 

Sex should be only be bound by the paramaters of God's word and a married couples immagination! What's sad is that people in marriages cant enjoy sex fully because of issues in their past that have tainted or scared them. Men and women in marriages need to come together, discuss, pray for, and believe God for deliverance from the past so that you can press on together towards the joys that God wants you to experience in "The Marriage Bed".... Now go get yo freak on (married couples)!
 

I think another sad "branch" to the "sex is bad tree" as it relates to the Body of Christ is that the Bible glorifies sex (in it's proper context)! Look at the Song of Solomon... "Wake up, North Wind, get moving, South Wind! Breathe on my garden, fill the air with spice fragrance. Oh, let my lover enter his garden! Yes, let him eat the fine, ripe fruits." - The Message - (Song of Solomon 4:16). This verse is a perfect example that married children of God should enjoy their spouses... but sadly there is verry little teaching on the enjoyment of sex :-(
