First of all, let’s not get on our respective moral soapboxes and tangle ourselves up in a discussion of the morality of sex. To focus on the “rightness or wrongness” of sex is often counterproductive. So I promise not to do that in this post and hope you will also.
This post is about what leads people to have sex. I have a friend of mine who says that sex is often not about sex, but about something else. What is that something else? It could be about loneliness or wanting to feel attractive or power or fear or self-esteem issues or political gamesmanship or self-destructive tendencies or boredom or the need for adventure. These are a few examples and there are a lot more.
I believe that God did not design sex to be about these or other things. Rather, He created sex to be about sex! But because we have been so beaten up and tainted by the destructive relationships we find ourselves in, what God has intended to be a blessing has turned out to be more of a curse.
It is my prayer that Christian singles will grow in their understanding of God’s expectation of what sex should mean for us and that as a result, sex will truly be about sex!

Okay, you really want to talk about sex?
Just to be close to the person you love. No insecurities or power play. No loneliness. Just the sheer fact of pleasure.
Just imagine the idea of giving pleasure to someone you deeply care about. To take away all of the worlds frustrations for just a few moments in time. Yes, you have to face reality and come back to the real world. But for however long it takes, it's just you two and nothing else matters.
True enough there are some people who will have sex because of insecurities, self-esteem, power play and many other reasons.
As you said we are not talking about right or wrong. Even though it's hard to not go there.
Mr. Writer,
I could not agree more, God created SEX to be about SEX! It does not matter the reason you are having sex the results are the same…SEX. Not to sound raw but, animals have sex.
Just as sex is said to feel voids, and make one feel good – it can also do the reverse leave one void and feeling lonely, unattractive, used and empty…SEX really is just about SEX ….
And if we as single Christians are not anchored in Christ, Satan will make us believe SEX is about so much more.
