Blair...Sex technically could just be about gender and gender roles possibly...if you really think outside of the box. Sex however to me is the birds and bees conversation you have with your dad or mom when your voice cracks. That's what I think of when I hear "Sex"
Sex is about the sacred, the most intimate. That's what comes to me first.
what does sex mean? that is what we must find out...
to me it is a sacrament, like baptism or communion....
it is a symbol, but a symbol is always more then just a symbol....
a symbol participates in the reality that it represents.....
sex is not a sin......
sex is a sacramental symbol of worship.....
within those bounds sex is meaningful and healthy to God and to Humanity...
Wow. What a question. Sad to say, but my automatic reaction to the word is a sick feeling. Our society has twisted and abused every meaning of the word on so many levels. I have seen “sex” ruin families through the addiction to pornography and affairs, I have seen best friends struggle over their “sexual orientation”, marriages in jeopardy because of it (or rather the lack of it), innocence compromised by just watching a PG-13 movie, teenagers (children) pregnant and having babies that aren’t wanted, etc. etc. Those are the things I think of when I think of sex in general. The perversion of it has permeated our society and has caused immeasurable hurt. This is nothing new…it’s been going on throughout all generations and cultures. When I think of the way it was created and intended to be…it was meant to be a wonderful thing. I think of something shared between a man and wife that is like a secret that no one else can understand or share. It’s an expression of love and respect that exists in the marriage. It should be fun. It is totally supposed to be reserved for the marriage relationship. So, the question may arise, “what technically is sex” or “where is the line?” To that I say…why ask “how far can I go?” Our question should be “how pure can I be?”
Sex - once you have it, you think about it a lot differently.
I'm going to concur with Mr. Davidson......and add, "not quite what it's advertised to be".
When I hear the word sex, I have a million and one things run through my head. I think of people. I think of relationships. I think of hurt. I think of pleasure. I think of brokenness. I think of connectedness. I think of love. I think of hate. I think of sadness. I think of happiness. I think of marriage. I think of divorce.
I believe sex is what you make it to be. It can be pure and holy...sacred...as God intended it to be, or it can be defiled and twisted into some type of game or competition.
It makes me very sad to see what society has done to such a beautiful act. It should not be something we are ashamed to speak of, but something we can talk openly about.
I believe there is nothing wrong with sex....The sex God intended for us. I believe the scriptures teach that it is to be within the confines of marriage. I believe the view and act of sex that we USUALLY see in society and media is wrong.
Sex is sacred, a union, a symbol, worship, and so much more.
I liked what the other Nancy said....I also want to add that sex is wonderful when guilt and shame are not clouding the experience. In the confines of marriage, the remnants of pre-marital or extra-marital guilt and shame can prevent us from having great intimacy. Sexual imprinting happens from early childhood sexual experiences as well as teenage experimentation..... I believe that sexual cleansing and restoration of purity is available from the Lord and that we do not need to carry the guilt and shame around forever like a big burdensome load on our backs..... Freedom and renewed purity are available in Christ.
