Perfect sex

Sex does NOT need to be a taboo subject. However, it also must not be a subject that is taken lightly or viewed as dirty. I definitely believe that sex is an incredible gift from God. Sex can give us completion and unity, in a physical sense. Due to its nature, sex then is a perfect expression of physical and even emotional and spiritual intimacy. Sex exhilarates, enlightens and encourages. Quite honestly, the feeling of an orgasm is one of the most ecstatic events in the emotional spectrum of life.
Yet, because sex is so powerful, it also has the potential for abuse. Serotonin and endorphins are released upon orgasm. These chemicals are released directly into the bloodstream and are responsible for that feeling of orgasmic bliss. From a biological point of view, it is quite possible to become addicted to this feeling. As a side note, it must be recognized that there is a difference between enjoying sex and being addicted to it. Restraining yourself to the perfect expression of sex allows you to overcome the addicting nature of sex and it also allows you to enjoy sex in the manner in which God intended it.
I bring these points up in order to show one reason why sex is so powerful. As I stated before, sex is beautiful and completely natural. However, and here is the rub, as wonderful as sex is, sex cannot be practiced without restraint. According to the Bible, sex is ONLY to be practiced between one man and one woman, who are united in marriage. Because of its power, sex must be respected, just as we respect the power of fire. Fire burns when played with irresponsibly. So does sex. This is why boundaries MUST be set. Because sex expresses physical intimacy, physical compatibility must be in existence. This is only found between a man and a woman. It's just straight up physics there, folks.
Even more importantly, sex expresses emotional and even spiritual intimacy. It is NOT the complete expression of either one of these areas, but it is a barometer. Sex is SO MUCH MORE than a physical act! I cannot emphasize this enough. Because of the emotional and spiritual components involved, sex must be expressed solely in a committed relationship. The committed relationship that is held in the Bible is marriage. A marriage is a covenant NOT just between a man and woman, it is a covenant before God as well. This means that, yes, God is and WANTS to be involved in your sex life. Because of this, sex has the aforementioned parameters for perfect expression.
As with the other gifts of God, man has a choice in how to receive these gifts. Sadly and unfortunately, so many choose to receive this precious gift in an order that please THEM ONLY. Remember, sex is to be enjoyed, but it is also meant to be enjoyed in its PERFECT EXPRESSION. When we choose our own expressions, we find ourselves working in "our flesh". This is also expressed in our sin nature. Galatians 5:19-21 expresses sins of the flesh. many of these sins are sins because they take the natural gifts of God and put them into the order of man. As I have stated, sex is wonderful in its perfect expression. However, when taken out of its perfect expression, it leads to adultery, fornication, impurity, self-indulgence and the like.
The church in America has for too long focused on what is negative in sexual matters. Sex needs to be recast in its perfect light. However, it must be acknowledged that when it is taken out of its perfect expression, sex does indeed lead to purely negative arenas. Sexual abuse, adultery, homosexuality and divorce are just a few of the sins and problems that come from taking sex out of context. These things can be avoided! When sex is left in its proper place, it becomes that completion that we as humans tend to seek. When we seek that completion too early - i.e.- prior to marriage, we suffer the consequences - perhaps an unplanned pregnancy, perhaps guilt. When we seek that completion outside of marriage,we likewise will suffer consequences, as have been previously mentioned. This is not intended to be an exhaustive discussion of sex, but an overview. I am not including the personal details of my sex life with my life, as I do believe that expression to be private, between my wife, God and me. By the way, I truly believe that if we took that stance, that sex is beautiful, we would be less likely to mar its beauty. If we believed that sex is sacred, I believe we would continue to maintain that sanctity. This is what must happen. I believe that this really must begin in the homes of Christian married couples everywhere. As we speak of the true nature of sex, I believe more people will of the positive nature of sex. This in turn can lead to more people desiring perfect expression over one-night stands - which only lead to loneliness, flippant attitudes and portrayals of sex and the demeaning of women as mere objects of sexual desire - and the demeaning of men as being little more than sex-crazed dogs. God intended sex to be so much more than that!!
