Re: Sex Before Marriage: Does God Approve?
The great hazard to the, "Sex is a sin, sex is a sin, sex is a sin, sex is a sin" approach is, many religious people grow up thinking sex is dirty. For many, it never really makes the transition from "Sex is dirty" to, "Sex is beautiful" in marriage. The result for many is a lifetime of sexual dysfunction that displays symptoms in so many different ways.
I remember my younger years when TV was 100% equal with Lucifer. As a result, I would spend every shopping trip in the TV section, every visit to friends' houses in front of their TV, and the list goes on and on.
I think the same thing often happens with sex. It's presented as such an awful thing that it becomes incredibly enticing and twisted to the point it's irresistible. It's tough enough, as it is, to walk away from, much less come up against the way religion often presents it.
