I Corinthians 6:18-20
Shun fornication! Every sin that a person commits is outside the body; but the fornicator sins against the body itself. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.

Okay, here is my bold, probably woefully uninformed and completely naive take on the topic of sexuality. When our sex lives are good, no one talks about it, because....well....we don't need to talk about it. When our sex lives are bad, we are using someone else and calling it good or we are being used by someone who has convinced us it is good so we don't need to talk about it, or we are not talking to the person we really need to be talking to. Throw alot of expectations and shame and the potential of becoming parents or contracting a disease and we are a long way from the fun it was supposed to be and so we talk about it and pretend that it is fun. I am convinced that there are some good stories and good memories out there that I never hear about, nor need to hear about. And to anyone using another person with their sexuality, stop it.

May our every word and our every touch be full of your Spirit. Amen.
