1 Corinthians 6:16-20(MSG)
There's more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, "The two become one." Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never "become one." There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for "becoming one" with another. Or didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.
There is no doubt that we live in a society which objectify women. Have you seen music videos of resent? If I am nt being mistaken, more than half of the most celebrated music videos on TV even the award winning ones are cruel cos they make woman objects of sexuality and selfish lustful pleasures and this ladies (video vixens) are used to objectify women as objects to be acquired just for sexual gratification. if u think I am being too unrealistic well tell me what comes to you mind wen you see that lady on TV with just her underwear on, is it 'I love Jesus?'. Lolz i'm positive its what I am saying. Well that's by the way....
If you asked the average man or the unmarried believer who believes in abstinence: "Why are you keeping yourself till marriage? " you will probably get this: "so that I can have a lot of sex when i'm married". Well that's an healthy thought, and again if you asked another believer like the above why he wants to get married soon, he will tell you that sex is the no.1 drive, that's if he will be honest enough to admit it. as good as that sounds , in its deeper observation you will see that a large percentage of guys, Christians inclusive sees ladies as firstly tools for gratifying their immerse desire for sex. Most of them are driven by their urges and thereby making women the tools to satisfy this desires.
Rapper and Christian; Andy mineo in a song said " the meaning of marriage is not Sex", and that shld be fundamental to us cos sex is just one of the activities in marriage. Marriage has a lot of descriptions, sex isn't one of them, but sharing is. In marriage sex is sharing, its is giving and receiving, in fact it is worship! Yes I said it, WORSHIP!!! God designed sex as an expression of a strong spiritual reality : fellowship, Communion. The above bible verse says it all. Let me go deeper now.
Do you know that the same way we understand our relationship with Jesus; I.e. the body of Christ being the bride of Jesus Christ is also being exemplified in marriage here on earth, making marriage a similitude of the church and Christ. So tell me what do husbands and wives do after marriage? The become one flesh (sex) , so will it be right if we also say the church and Christian being married also have sex? Become one spirit as Paul puts it (1 Corinth 6:16-17). U see how scared sex is now? it is a type of worship but in d flesh with deep spiritual implications. So what i'm I trying to say, if we have intercourse with God every time as we pray, worship and mediate on d word being his bride, will it be right if he is just the one using us and we on the other hand, getting the feeling of being used. As orgasm is the peak of sexual gratification so it is with God and man in worship cos in worship of God, we get a type of spiritual orgasm when we feel the deep presence of God and God on the other hand is glorified. That's Orgasm on both ends so shld also be sex In marriage nt just a man getting all d action and making the lady feel used.
So my advice to all xtain men out there is to perceive sex right and also in the right context, its one thing to abstain it is another thing not to objectify the woman you marry as payback for all your years of abstinence. Well this is just one aspect of objectification but there is more, ama hit you with more latter. Stay blessed.
