It is my stance on relationships, that people indulge in a sexual relationship in a context of love and respect.An emotional relationship. The Christian faith has a definite rule, although I do not necessarily agree with it. I am tired of those people who have lived a "free or all" sexual life and then scream about what a Christian they are. There is a problem between men and women here. If we want to observeIt's time for all of us to face the fact that we do not know how sexuality (in particular, heterosexuality) works. People have pursued me, whom I did not want. I've been pinned to a wall by someone (uh, at least three) who wanted to find my tonsils. I've wanted someone who would not have wanted me in a life-time. I've worked with guys half my age who introduced me to hilarious things, like "Funny or Die." I know of a male actor (not personally, of course) whose clothing I would be delighted to rip off. Yeah, spank me, I'm a heterosexual.
Myself? I am an introvert who throughout my life has associated sex with intimacy and relationships, so I have very few notches on my bedpost, both before and after marriage. I do not have the numbers of sex partners of some of the male and female posters here. I have twice been approached by men who were already married after I got a divorce. I told them both to get lost.
I am offended by the right-wing viewpoint, and the so-called "Christian" viewpoint that all sex is of the closing-time, back-of-a-car, people-who-don't-know-each-other. Their sex is cheap. Not playing.
YOu may have as many notches as many of the men on here. Men tend to exaggerate their conquests, while women tend to downplay them. Not that it matters. You get to choose for yourself. If you're happy, go with it.
Thank you for your post. I have always been bewildered by the role of the whole religion game in this. Are we "moral"? Are we not? There has never been an actual "morality." Some people celebrate Christianity and, the next second, will have sex, or have had sex with anything still breathing. I do not want to use the word "conservative" because it now is fraught with such horrible baggage that it is now worthless. My personal program is to keep my body for someone I love. Always has been. I have never been promiscuous in my behavior. It all comes down to whether you believe in love between human beings. I carry this belief.
I do not understand those who argue for Christianity and then do not follow it in their personal behavior.
Being a Christian isn't just saying the right thing, it is doing the right thing. A Christian is required to love God with his whole heart, soul and mind and love his neighbor as himself. Labeling yourself as a Christian does not make one a Christian. I agree with your stance on marriage. Love your belief system in this area. Thank you.
"christian morality" here, we have to talk about it. According to Christianity, a man who has never had sex marries a woman who has never had sex. The sexual awakening occurs for both on the bed after their wedding.
That is how it worked for my wife and I. It worked in our case however, not everyone is the same. We have been married for 38 years and there is no other person I'd want to be with. We are the best of friends.
I am so happy for you in your marital relationship. Kudos! May you two live a long life and prosper together as you two are one. Congratulations and blessings!
