Can sex be fun and not sinful ? Can I have sex with women outside of marriage and not be sent to Hell ?What is it about sex that seems so evil in the eys of the church. Sex seems to be the driving force behind almost everything according to shrinks .We have this animal sex drive but we are suppose to put a cork in it unless we want to breed .I hate unwanted preganacys as much as the next sinner but it does seem odd that sex is this powerful drive that we have naturally and it causes babies and sin .

you could allways try marrying more than one woman, many OT kings of the holy land had many wives, but they sinned in other ways. god has no problem with sex just its the way we use it. god must have seen it all so gets no shocks, just disapointment with us. but remember to be careful what you wish for you may just get it

I guess this is following on from your other (Catholic priest) thread.

In the hindu tradition I believe sex should be regulated for the true seeker for every drop of semen is held to be sacred.
Thats why some of those eastern guys developed tantric sex, where you dont blow.

I guess when you are younger it is good to go and get it out of you.
There is no point in repressing sexual tendencies in the wrong way only to have disasterous results for when they do come out (again, your other thread is a good example).

I believe it should start with batting off. You should be able to stop that first.
Then sticking to one partner, and finally , after you have seen and tasted what the world can offer, and also , hopefully had a glimpse of the ultimate, the transcendent other worldly , you should be able to turn inwards and find the bliss of nirvana.
This is just an ideal, There will be many variants to this.

actually sex is a gift from God, the problem is that the world in which we live has
degraded it, its no longer an act of giving, but of licentiousness. Clearly in a Biblical
context sex out with marraige is forbidden, never the less, within these boundaries it
is to be enjoyed in a God honouring way.

(Proverbs 5:19-20) . . .Let her own breasts intoxicate you at all times. With her love
may you be in an ecstasy constantly.  So why should you, my son, be in an ecstasy
with a strange woman or embrace the bosom of a foreign woman?

(Song of Solomon 1:13-14) . . .As a bag of myrrh my dear one is to me; between
my breasts he will spend the night.  As a cluster of henna my dear one is to me,
among the vineyards of Engedi.”

(Genesis 1:22) . . .With that God blessed them, saying: “Be fruitful and become
many. . .

but fortunately, the number of wives you're allowed to have is practically unlimited.

so it's quiet easy to "marry" your slave-girl, not that she has much of a say in the matter, and have sex with her to your heart's content.

nice set of rules...if you're a man.

yes i am sure you did, whereas Mrs spalfie was probably thinking during her rather
unfortunate ordeal, what she was going to make for tomorrows dinner. My point is, that
it has been portrayed as an act of self gratification rather than the emphasis being
placed upon giving.

ha! she didnt get enough time to plan a meal!! it went something like this -



i think i might actually agree with you about the self gratification. tabloid press, movies, pornography, lads mags, gossip mags all have a lot to answer for in their portrayal of sex and in particular women as purely sex objects.

you go to hell because your a sinner not for having sex, but for rejecting God's salvation.

Tell you what though. When your not married you felling guilty though with your thoughs but when you are married you don't.

God as my witness i waited to be married and it was worth the wait.
