I held a great misconception for the most of my life regarding sexual intimacy as it is expressed by individuals who adhere to religious practice; Christianity in particular. I always held the belief that all Christians looked at sexual intimacy as evil, and in the context of marriage, an expression of love to be very limited. The truth is that I was very wrong.
Sexual intimacy, in the context of pure religion is divinely appointed by God. Sex is necessary; not only for the propagation of our race but for the uniting of a man and a woman--united under the act of marriage. When sexual intimacy is understood in this context I feel it can be taught to young people in the proper way. In today's society children are more likely to learn about sex from the media than from their parents. What results is a sex-crazed younger generation with ill-conceived views on the proper expression of sexual intimacy between husband and wife.
