RELATIONSHIP TIPS: LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX

Surprisingly, this is one topic that would interest a lot of people if not everyone. But at the same time, only a few would really want to be interested in the truth about sex. I believe that the truth about this topic of sex has to be stated the more in our days because it cannot be overemphasized.

It is definitely no news that the topic of sex is everywhere and has been thrown right in our faces in different manners and through different media. From every direction, from the music industry to the entertainment industry, and of course the movies are the major culprits and source of the propagation of sex drive in our world today. Sex has become one of the driving forces in human life today, affecting almost every aspect of man from the way we think to the way we relate with others.

Almost everyone from the teenage years and above has gathered knowledge about sex without needing formal assistance. Hence, people naturally assume they already know all they should know about sex and that they do not need to be taught on the matter. This, however, is a wrong position to take. What really about sex should we know?

SEX HAS A MANUAL
For every product that is made by a manufacturer especially those that come with a bit of technicality, there is the need to understand how they operate so you can best use them to your satisfaction. To make this possible, the manufacturer includes with the product a reader's manual which contains the modus operandi of that product. If you follow the instructions in the manual, you can be rest assured that you'll know how to put the product to its best use. In the same way, for humans God, our manufacturer, has prepared a manual. It contains guidelines to help give us true satisfaction. This manual speaks about everything we engage in, telling us how God designed things to be done. In this post I will be communicating the content of this manual (the Bible) on the subject of sex. Our manufacturer cares about us and wants us to derive the best sex has to offer. In the Bible He tells how to go about it.


WHAT IS SEX?
We do not need an introduction to what sex is as though we have no idea what we're talking about. Generally speaking, sex is the intimate bare body interaction of a man and his wife on a genitalia level (Gen 2: 24). God gave sex for a number of reasons, some of which I'm going to state below. Now with this definition in mind we can see that sex otherwise practiced is strange, abnormal and was never intended by God. You see, sex is sacred and connotes more than meets the eye. It is so powerful that it is only safe in the marriage covenant for which it was created. Sex doesn't just merge two people physically, it binds them together on a level beyond what we can see. That's why we teach that sex binds two individuals spiritually. This is so because it involves not only bodies but souls.

Sex is like making a covenant and this is why it is the sweetest and deepest communication that a married man can experience with his wife. Sex was created to serve as the final or peak expression of one's love and commitment to another within the institution and confines of marriage. For a good depiction, picture the strongest glue you have ever known been put in between your fingers or your palms,then try to pull your fingers apart. Now that's very detrimental as you know the amount of pain and injury it would inflict on your fingers or palms. That's exactly how sex is outside the confines of marriage. Scripture says anyone who indulges in it is sinning against their own body. Sex with someone you're not married to is destroying yourself.

WHY SEX?
As you must have seen, sex in itself isn't bad. It's a gift from the Creator to humanity for the purpose of procreation (Gen. 1:28), the consummation of marriage (Matt. 19:5), for sexual pleasure (1 Cor. 7:2) and also for thanksgiving to God (1Tim. 4:3-4). It is imperative to clearly know that the perfect sphere for the gratification of sexual pleasure is in marriage (Heb 13:4). Sex is the height of intimacy, an unveiling of the fullness of who we are to one who we are or shall be joined to. Contrary to what the world has come to accept as true, sex is to be given as a special and sacred gift to only one person in the union of marital bliss. Friends, do not be deceived, the teachings of God's Word on this subject of sex will give you maximum sexual pleasure and satisfaction if adhered to.

Dear friends, a whole lot can be said on this issue of sex but I would rather draw the curtains now. More will be said in subsequent posts, God willing. So, rather than give yourself to actions that will produce a whole lot of grievous consequences too numerous to state, choose to guard your life and your destiny, embrace the teachings of the Word of God for they have the ability to keep you, bless you, dignify you and give you a happier, fulfilled and stable marriage. God knows you desire sexual pleasure, in fact it was He who placed that desire in you. As you follow God's Word, He will give you the best experience of sex He has already prepared for you. God's Word alone is truth and it works tremendously ( John 17:17).
God bless you.
