People in our culture, including Christians have a very distorted view of sex. Why not set the record straight?

BECAUSE so many Christians have a distorted view of sex, I don't trust anyone, including my pastor, to teach my children about it. Maybe that's just my own personal hangup. At our previous church (which I've mentioned too many times lately...) the pastor got up from the pulpit and went down the list of which particular sexual acts were right and wrong, and even said that it was a sin to have sex too often. I'm glad my children were too little to understand a word he was saying. He certainly didn't give fair warning as to the content of his Sunday sermon!
There are parents who don't teach their kids properly (my parents were in that group), and so maybe the church feels the need to step in. That's fine. But my children are already learning about it in a healthy way, and so I'm going to keep it on my terms for now.
