Is It Good Or Bad To Enjoy Sex As A Christian
Within a Christian marriage, let’s explain and understand some reasons why Christians get hung up on and nervous about the discussions of sex. Sex was created by God, it is, much like it’s creator…POWERFUL! But in the wrong hands or minds, it can ruin lives and everything we’ve worked so hard to earn…. homes, dishearten families, it can bring down churches, leaders, pastors, and teachers — and even our very existence.
It is because of the abuse of sexual pleasure by irresponsible individuals (and couples) that sex gets a bad reputation. Yep. That includes every day life entertainment on Radio, TV, Movies, Music Videos, Billboard Ads, Commercials, etc.
The advertising industry knows that sex sells and it’s used to generate higher profits and wider margins. Why? People are generally driven by and make decisions based on logic and emotion. Sex is deeply connected with emotions. On the surface sex just pleases us physically. But if we dig deeper, we find that sex can make you feel:
• Happy
• Special
• Important
• Sexy
• Younger
• Older
• Powerful
• Beautiful
• Careless
• Excited
• Energetic
• Revengeful
• Evil
• Naughty/Bad
• Popular
As you see, sex can be attached to and invoke almost any kind of feeling at any time; especially with our ability to recall photographic images. The physical, emotional and social aspects of sex make it so good. There is no reason why you can’t experience the goodness of sex in your marriage, especially since it was originally designed for that purpose.
Have fun with sex. Encourage each other to try things “outside the box” that bring you both satisfaction. Release your inhibitions and bathe in the gift that God has created for you to increase intimacy in your marriage.
