How much does the heart play in sex? The physical urge is strong and I spent most of my adult life sex starved. It used to drive me nuts from about age 16 until Sveta came into my life. I could never seem to get to a place of fulfillment until I bonded with Sveta. Sex does create a chemical reaction in the brain. That reaction produces a feeling of pleasure. It creates a strong bond between two people, yet it can be so fickle. Emotions can help and hinder. In the case of helping, emotions build strong relationships, because the patterns in the brain follow the same patterns. The transmission of chemicals and electrical impulses like the path of least resistance. Sometimes it seems the desire is stronger than the physical urge.
For those with strong urges, marriage is the best option. That is why the Apostle Paul recommends "But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion. "But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion" (1 Cor. 7:9).
So, why do we not hear about people who have fantastic sex lives in the Christian world? If it is even talked about it is the negative aspects of adultery and perversion. So we know we need to guard our hearts against those damaging acts, but what does a good sexual relationship look like? How often do hear from the Song of Solomon? Some parts of that book are quite graphic and intimate. My point is that we are usually left to figure it out on our own. And yet the church is being wrecked by sexual sins. In the hundreds of men's meetings that I have attended, rarely is sex discussed and typically it is a warning against the negative side. Why do we not teach the real positive aspects of sex and leave it up to the world or trail and error to figure it out?
