Sex Scenes

[Scott Hutchinson]

Have you ever noticed in church how say you have a brother that has a wife not in church and then you have a sister whose husband is not in church,and then these two start hanging around each other and then boom all of a sudden they're having an affair.

Can't say that I have seen this either.

Sometimes because people whose spouses aren't in church,feel lonely and in need of companionship and they can start to feel attracted to the other brother or sister they start hanging around with. Sometimes this does happen.

Let me say something here this does not always with people who have spouses not in church,but it can happen and it has happened before.

Wheter one is a believer or not,one must be careful with our feelings and urges and the situations one puts theirselves into.

Some would argue that the Bible and other literature that includes intimacy, sex, violence, etc aren't written in a way to stimulate or provoke. A Harlequin paperback and the movie Basic Instinct overly focus on the deviant behavior of their characters, glamorizing and hyping the trash.

What does watching sex scenes cause? Does it cause adultery? Does it make people want to do what they see? Does it make people want to have sex? Is that bad?

I know some of the answers to some of this, but really, I am trying to think outside the box here by asking what to some may or may not seem obvious.

If a romantic scene brings out romantic feelings in me and makes me feel loving towards my husband, that is not bad, right? If instead it makes me want the guy on the screen and look with disdain upon my husband, that would be bad. But, that would be bringing out issues that are already there.

I dunno. Just thinking out loud. Everybody here seems a bit confused anyway.

What thoughts enter a man's mind while watching a nude woman, a questionable scene or some adulterous affair being acted out?

We are condemned by our actions or by our heart?

Let me say this.Sex is not a bad thing in the context it was intended it is a gift from The Lord.It's like dirt dirt is good in your yard,but you don't bring it into your house and throw it on your carpet.

Imagine what would be on the screen if someone did a true-to-life film about the entire Bible...

Making love is part of life. No matter how we try to insulate ourselves and our children from it, we'll see it on occasion. As long as we keep ourselves and our children seeing this act in a biblical context, I believe things will be okay. However, I hope that our children get their image and concept of making love from parents and not Hollywood.

Key concept is education and balance.

What makes the indecent love scenes more appropriate for the 40-year old father anymore than the 15-year old teenager?

That making love is part of life, should we lose all sense of bashful constraint with all things that are "part of life?" Are some things reserved for private expression only? Because sex is part of life, do we invite sexual partners to put on a show in our homes?
