Last week’s Plainsman had several articles that expressed multiple individuals’ opinions concerning the purpose and timing of sex. To have a proper perspective on this very important issue, we must look to Scripture to see what God says about it.

In Genesis, God created man and woman and gave them the command to be fruitful and multiply, so we see that one purpose for sex is reproduction within a marriage. It is also a means of enjoyment and fulfillment within a marriage between one man and one woman. Sex is very special and should only exist within marriage.

First Timothy 1:10 is clear that sexual immorality is contrary to sound doctrine. Sexual immorality includes premarital sex (fornication), adultery, homosexuality and other related sins. In 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Paul warns his readers to “flee from sexual immorality” because it is an especially egregious sin.

God created sex to accomplish wonderful things within a marriage, and society has twisted, changed and diminished it into something that, outside of its original intent, brings dishonor to God and negatively affects everyone involved. Sex was designed to be enjoyed between one man and one woman in marriage, and any sexual activity outside of marriage is perversion and sin.

I respect your opinion although I don't agree with it. I think that it's important to know that those rules and standards apply to you. Blanketing an entire world of people with your sexual standards probably is not only unrealistic but inappropriate.

It's pretty obvious you've never had sex, Thomas, because if you had, you'd realize it's not some holy, special act. It's bumping and grinding. Get it while you can because it doesn't come along as often as you'd like once you're married.

Of course, the Bible doesn't mention that because it was written by men who believed that women should be submissive to their husbands sexual desires and demands. There was no such thing as "No" in marriage. How does that sexually immoral, but doctrinally sound belief system strike you?
