Lets talk more about sex

 

It’s impossible to discuss family relations without talking about sex It  brought all of us into this world and is an essential aspect of a relationship between husband and wife. Sex is a part of our culture, but it’s definitely become something it was never meant to be. To further explain, it’s necessary to explain what I believe about sex. I believe that sexual relations are only to be had between a man and a woman legally married. After marriage, you should be completely faithful to your spouse. I also believe that sex is sacred. It’s a godly power to create life. But having sex isn’t just so we can bring children into this life. I believe that having sexual relations as a married couple brings you closer together. It’s special and sharing that experience with someone besides your spouse, robs you of that specialness. 

The world has made a mockery of the sacredness of being intimate with your spouse. Pornography is easy to find and even easier to stumble upon. Things that only should be done between a husband and a wife are made public for easy viewing. Additionally, people have casual sex all the time. Engaging in these actives take a toll on relationships. Studies have shown that pornography decreases martial and sexual satisfaction. Studies have also shown that the more sexual partners a woman has before she’s married, the harder it is for her to attach to her partner. There truly are no shortcuts in life. Engaging in the cheap version of sexual experiences produces bad results. But when it’s done in the right circumstances it can be a beautiful experience that brings you closer to your spouse. However, even in a marriage, it takes work and commitment to make sure both husband and wife have an enjoyable and satisfying time together.

Men and woman have different experiences during sexual intercourse simply because their antimony is different. What may be satisfying and pleasurable to one partner may not be to the other. This is why communication between both spouses is important. Having sexual relations with someone is the most vulnerable thing someone can do, but as needs and desires are expressed, it creates a better experience for both parties, and strengthens your relationship as well. 

Sex may be hard and awkward to talk about, but I believe it’s so important. It’s so important to talk about it with your spouse, but also with your children. 

I grew up in a conservative place and sex wasn’t something that adults talked about. Kids at my middle and high school sure did though. I learned more about sex from my peers and the internet than any adult figure in my life. Now, I wasn’t clueless about sex, but I had several friends who were (and some still are) clueless about it. I find this dangerous. How are children supposed to know about the sacredness of sex if they find out about it at school? And then when they grow into adults; how are they supposed to have a healthy relationship if no one taught them how sex can bring two individuals together in a beautiful way? There is power in knowledge. When children know the proper name of body parts, they can better protect themselves from those who wish to abuse them. When a young woman knows the purpose of her period, she’s less likely to be ashamed and sacred when it comes. When a young married couple knows generally how their bodies will respond when they’re intimate with each other, it reduces anxiety and shame. 

It's time to give sex the respect that it deserves. When employed between a man and a wife, it is something beautiful. We need to educate ourselves and our children better about it. When we do so, all our relationships will only become better.
