One of my all time favorite books is George Orwell's 1984. In the book sex is something that is allowed but only between spouses. Sex is only used to procreate, they refer to it as their "duty to the party". Is that how some Christians see sex? Like their "duty to God"? Don't give me a long response saying Jesus loves me, etc., I'm not interested in being converted. Thanks :)

Ah...this is why Song of Solomon was removed from a lot of their bibles.
It actually detailed the joy of sex.

Well they can't have a book in the bible telling them its ok to enjoy sex now can they?

Lol.

The humans that the God Yahweh created before Adam and Eve did not have restrictions on having sex by Yahweh because He wanted them to quickly build up the modern human population as quickly as possible. It wasn't until Yahweh created Adam and Eve that He started His restrictions on how they were to have sex with each other. The decedents of Adam and Eve carried on these restrictions and the decedents of the other humans carried on their unrestricted sexual lifestyle. The moral of the story of all this is what group of people do you want to belong to? Those who live their lives like other wild animals or live their lives like Yahweh intended Adam and Eve's descendants to live. The secret behind humans having a successful family are by following the sexual restrictions of Yahweh. The choice is up to you.

Sex can be for procreation, but it's main purpose is to bond a husband and wife together, to release sexual tension and have *fun*. :)

I realize saying "just between a married couple" sounds pretty harsh, but I really do think it's the best way, because sex is such a powerful thing.. it can bring so much pleasure but also so much hurt in the form of unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted disease, just plain hurt feelings if it's with the wrong person, etc.

I am sure that some Christians think that way, but I don't think that God is watching over us to make sure we only perform "missionary" and don't have any enjoyment. I am not aware of anywhere that it says "thou shalt not enjoy sex"

Infact (and I will stand corrected if I am wrong) but I am not aware of verse that forbids premarital sex either, unless your father is a priest, you are a priest, or you intend marrying a priest. I mean let's face it, Jacob hired a prostitute (turned out to be his daughter in law), Jesus hung around with prostitutes, and the only people that Joshua spared when he raided Jericho was a prostitute and her family.

I think the "only between spouse" and "only for procreation" is something the church made up by it's own definition and interpretation of the word "adultery". And why not, after all they get paid to perform a marriage ceremony.

Oxford dictionary defines adultery as "voluntary sexual intercourse of a MARRIED person with another person who is not their spouse". Cheating on your spouse is adultery. Pre -marital sex is not.

sex, like almost everything else, is a beautiful gift from God to enjoy and enrich our lives, and is an expression of love between a man and a woman, and best enjoyed when married as was intended by our creator.

No. Anything between a man and his wife is nobody's business, and even God doesn't want to know, as long as nobody is being abused.

God wants us to reproduce and have children, but only in marriage. Thats why there are diseases like AIDs and all that stuff, but He's not forcing us to do it nor is it our "duty"....and you really should think about Christianity...its no joke

I'd say it depends on the person, although most of the younger married Christian couples I know have plenty of pleasure sex.

Well there are the chastity belts, which I guess are another form of the chastity club's sashes.
