I disagree - and I would think ministers would discuss such topics from the pulpit if they believed that the congregation needed to know.
Well most ministers would disagree with you..because there are no mainstream Christian ministers who engage in broadcasting the sort of sickening vile descriptions of sexual depravity we have seen posted on these board.
Jesus NEVER engaged in graphic descriptions of sexual immorality...and in fact never even spoke of homosexuality..because it was unnecessary.
Can you please provide a link. :)
Ok, but please don't overgeneralize. Ministers deal in the truth. There are those who are more interested in keeping the pews full and the donations flowing, but there are many who tell the truth regardless. I don't know of any study that has been done to tell which group has the greater numbers, and I don't know of any way to make such a study unbiased.

Jesus NEVER had to. He did discuss those who sacrificed their children to foreign gods by burning them to death. That's not something we have to deal with in this day and age. We have to deal with people who engage in fisting, and who try to teach school children how to do the same. If you're sitting around thinking that queer love is just like straight love, you might need some graphic descriptions to help you make the distinction.
Jesus did know how to call a spade a spade. See Matthew 23.
Shalom.
