American Christianity is so very focused on sex sin it's really strange. We condemn things that the Bible addresses as perfectly normal. For example....
Song of Solomon 5:2-5 (NLT)
2 I slept, but my heart was awake,
when I heard my lover knocking and calling:
“Open to me, my treasure, my darling,
my dove, my perfect one.
My head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night.”
3 But I responded,
“I have taken off my robe.
Should I get dressed again?
I have washed my feet.
Should I get them soiled?”
4 My lover tried to unlatch the door,
and my heart thrilled within me.
5 I jumped up to open the door for my love,
and my hands dripped with perfume.
My fingers dripped with lovely myrrh
as I pulled back the bolt.
Here's a young woman who's laying in bed eyes closed, but her heart's awake thinking about her lover. Her lover comes to the door and tries to get in to her. She jumps up to let him in...her hands dripping with lovely "myrrh". The passage is rather suggestive.
