Before SSQ and I got married, we participated in a pre-marriage discussion group. There were several couples, all of different faiths, but there was one couple who would just get so agitated when sex was even brought up that it was ridiculous! Finally SSQ told the minister who was in charge of the group that he wasn't comfortable being in the group, so we quit then did the Pre- Cana weekend a month or two later.
This couple was just wierd, and I believe it was the result of having been bombarded constantly with the 'sex is bad' message without any discussion on the matter. It was the result of not talking forthrightly about the rightful place of sex in our lives. They were still into the 'sex is sinful' mindset, and weren't making the connection between unmarried and married relations. It was truly sad.
what was the context - premarital - or within a married relationship ?
IMO - as much as we pray and hope our children save themselves - the realization is that they are probably active before marriage - many of us were as well -
Can we at least agree to call premarital sex a sin?
or am I the only tyrannosaur here LOL
IMO, - and even in the confines of matrimony - there is love and sex
a Saturday quickie hardly gets me singing the song of Solomon - is it sinful - ....depends where our hearts are
anyway - thanks for your input
