Now, let me talk about sex. What I now understand it to be.
As we know, all we are is what we have learned. I.e. we live by a philosophy, a moral, in essence a way. Some people come to the point of deciding which way and others are simply in a certain environment.
What I now understand it to be. It’s a high standard! Ok, so I look around me, TV and media as well as friends and the people around me. And what is the story of sex that I hear? Sex is great! Guys think with their third leg and woman often get enough of it. Woman often feel tired or develop a headache. The men then, chat to chums who might encourage them to think about sleeping with other woman. So the woman continues to be tired and the men don’t ask because they are being satisfied some how. Oh, I forgot the part when the woman has kids and the sex is never the same. So sex is great in the beginning and then becomes something else. Either a chore or a right. This seems to be normal!
Fine, I could say that this is just a generalisation or what ever you want to call it to make it sound like it’s not normal. By normal, I mean that it is normal in the world when I look around.. Not only that, but this story can be found in the pages of history. So for longer than I’ve been around, this was the way of the world.
And in essence this is the standard. Which means that people go into a relationship expecting (speaking as a woman) that the guy will just want me for sex and if he doesn’t get it from me, he will get it from somewhere else. I also expect that I will get tired and develop “head aches” , which again emphasises that I will only be wanted for sex. And he won’t care if I’m tired or have a headache because that is MY problem, his problem is no sex tonight.
What I now understand it to be…
Sex is always better when it’s about the other person. How I can give myself and vice versa. For men, the act of sex is the highlight. For woman, sex is just the cherry which would need a cake in order for it to be the “cherry on the cake” in the “tired” or the “headache” scenario, there was no cake to have the cherry with. I.e. in some way or another, she’s bothered about something else. Her mind is her main sexual organ if you like and for him it’s not so much. (This is in a context of a healthy relationship i.e. two people who have both agreed to be together)
Ok, so the eye opening aspect to me was…
Imagine having a car and the manufacturer told you never to put water. What he is trying to say is that you will destroy the car if you put water. So you want to be following the instructions of the manufacturer cause he knows the car, he made it. Knows how it works best.
In a similar vein, in scripture, it says, in essence, that a man and woman should always have sex (i.e. there is a mutual agreement or freedom to do so). The only reason they are exempt form having sex is if they agree to concentrate their efforts or mind, concentrate on speaking to God for the hope they have (fast and pray). And even so, this should not be for a long time as this will invite trouble in the relationship. WOW!!!!
Ok, ok, let me qualify this by saying that before this, we are also advised to love each other with a love that is out of this world. A man is to love his wife to the point of giving his life up for her. He is to live for her. To make her the best she could be. To honour her, to clothe her with righteousness (I don’t know how to translate this world). So what do you do when someone that you want to be with for the rest of your life, loves you like this? To be honest, the natural response to this love is by the woman loving her husband by respecting him, by honouring him and in essence putting his wishes above hers in humility. So each is thinking first about the other
Also to note, sex is an act of agreeing that we are together in mind body and spirit. It’s a spiritual act. So if, like the scriptures say, don’t deprive (1Cor7:5) each other, its kinda saying that you should always be in the state of mind where you can agree that “we are together in mind body and spirit” if that’s not the case then there is some “loving” (the kind that I mentioned earlier) that is missing
So imagine an engineer telling you not to put any electrical appliances in water, especially if it involves you. You won’t take that likely cause as we know, the result of this is some sort of death.
The wow factor, the high standard is that sex is as important as not putting electrical appliances in water. That’s BIG!!! Of cause, the love precedes it all









Well what about cutting their b******* off.
I couldn't agree more. Chemical castration makes sense for the worst offenders.
the big questions in life fascinates me .it is important to make a decision on which lines we stand etc
i guess i was reading and i know its a question i've asked myself.i watched a movie (alien vs predator) where aliens were attacking a city to kill humans.there was a group of survivors that contacted the military, who then told them to go back into the centre of the city as there would be a helicopter or some sort of rescue. oh,the aliens could turn humans into aliens by having sex or something.it turns out that the decision was made to drop like a mad-ass-killer bomb that destroys any form of life in like a 1000mile radius.
ultimately, they decided to kill the innocent for the sake of the country.
know,if i was one of the innocent i would be pissed off!i'd like to think that everyONE matters.it takes one to cause a ripple effect.
again,the question of human value comes up.depends on how you see humans.if I, and everyONE in the world, thought and knew and acted like everyONE is valuable as valuable as...diamonds (the worlds general view of it).i was going to say,as people we are selfish and when it comes down to it we probably will always save ourselves, aka the most valuable thing a person has is concerning themselves.so i was going to say that,if we treated people like ourselves = a better world.but the state of the world,some dont even feel any worth.probably see sand as more worthy then people, as, are constantly digging for sand to maintain roads,buildings etc.
anyway,if society/people/the world treated eachother like diamonds and felt that they were diamonds then i dont think this problem would exist.
in a way,i ask myself...because of the world we are in,even like you proposed,killing off evil,there would still be this problem of evil.you kill all the bad guys,then your still left with media and influences.even if you killed that off,your left with human nature...selfishness.(as a race, we are alive aka survive because of the selfish instinct) we dont really think first of how our actions affect those around us.
kill the innocent to save the many?i feel that i cannot agree.to be honest i could be some hitler person,i could be that evil "bastard" that just doesnt care. i ask myself,am i the lucky one?i could be a totally different person right now and justifiably so.but something came and changed that,hope happened.i could be in a hole and not know the meaning of beauty,life,hope,friends etc etc. would i rather die than to cause others to, in their own way die because of me?would i rather die and save "the world"?when it comes down to it,the honest answer,when no one is around and i'm by myself,when i ask myself the question,truth is that i want to feel.i want to be helped.i want to love or be loved.to be "free".i want to be human.in essence,i want a second chance.and i think its murder the way the justice system works.yes your locked up to plan the next xyz but thats cause there's probably nothing "better".no real support.no one cares.your just a statistic.thats the reality of the "world" we live in.
is it worth killing the one to save the million,in truth, i dont know.but who,which person dares to condemn me to death.death emotionally,sexualy,spiritually etc etc.even the one who condems me is in a way a killer or "guilty". But I do think that we need rules aka law.
it is the ONE that matters.he is a pervert and we society have created that appetite for him.
is there a time to kill?i cant respond and say everything has its own time because i cant then say that, there is a time to be taken advantage of,violated,silenced and not even seen.but i feel i cannot say this.if i say there is a time to kill,then there is a time for everything else.which sounds like i'm championing "perverts" and the like.
our world is like an environment.and an environment has the power to determine things. Eg laws of gravity,law of time. if i plant sunflowers in good soil,they will grow.if i plant them in water...maybe there's a fish that eats sunflower seeds.
my conclusion,its an imperfect world that we live in.love the ONE your with.do the "little" you can do.start a ripple.
at the minute i dont think i can quite tick those boxes but i intend to.
ps sorry for the LONG reply.what are your thoughts?thanks for the question
