The most powerful weapon against sexual impurity is humility. Patterns of sinful thought and behavior are fruits of a deeper root. If we want to stop bearing bad fruit, we must aim our primary attack against the root. And the root of sexual sin is not our sex drive; it’s pride. We live in an…
God’s hatred of sexual immorality and his impending wrath on the sexually perverse can’t be separated from his love for sex within marriage, along with his commands for couples to have sex frequently. From Tim Challies: Those who love must also hate. Those who love what is good, what is beneficial, what is honorable must…
From healthline (Use caution if visiting website). Your nipples are erogenous zones A lot of what we see in pop culture suggests that the only way women can orgasm is by stimulating the vaginal area. But that’s not true — not by a long shot. It’s possible for a woman to orgasm without ever touching…
I recently read Sex, Dating, and Relationships: A Fresh Approach by Gerald Hiestand and Jay Thomas. It’s a highly recommended read. According to Hiestand and Thomas, the Bible only presents three categories of relationships between any two human beings. We have the: Neighbor relationship (sex prohibited) Family relationship (sex prohibited) Marriage relationship (sex commanded) They also…
Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 1 Corinthians 7:5 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/1co.7.5.ESV It’s easy to miss this implicit command. We often neglect and disregard…
From a CBS article Researchers at Rutgers University have mapped the brain areas in women that respond to stimulation of the genitals WILEY PUBLISHING/BARRY KOMISARUK For many women, nipples are erogenous zones. A new study may explain why: The sensation from the nipples travels to the same part of the brain as sensations from the…
The moralist tends to see sex as dirty or at least a dangerous impulse that leads constantly to sin. There will be an approach-avoidance relationship with sex. The uneasy conscience of the moralist will lead to either complete avoidance OR to a very driven, breathless need for sexual experience. Both come from a glory-vacuum within,…
When most people slap the word “fetish” on our desire, what they really mean is “kink.” There’s a tendency to be lazy with all word choices and I thinks this reflects poor vocabulary in our culture. Our failure to distinguish and discern variations between words causes many to mislabel this relationship because “fetish” rolls off the tongue…
Sex isn’t about learning skills or being gratified, but about loving a person. Putting their needs above yours. I sometimes get anxious and try to micromanage my future sex life. “What if she won’t do this or that?” I often ask myself. Now I’ve realized that it’s not about me “getting mine” or being focused…
I have a friend that’s been a believer not quite as long as I have, yet unbelievably godly and mature. While discussing God’s plan for marital intimacy one day, he said the failure to have frequent sex is one of the primary ways with which Satan attacks marriages, couples grow distant, and eventually become just…
From Sheila Wray Gregoire’s blog To Love, Honor & Vacuum. When it comes to sex, do you see God’s commands as being about making you do something you don’t want to do? I think that’s often the way we see things like 1 Corinthians 7:3-5–the “do not deprive each other” passage. That’s certainly the way…
Note how uncovering a person’s nakedness is exactly identical to uncovering the nakedness of the person’s spouse. The two really do become one flesh. New King James Version (NKJV) Laws of Sexual Morality 18 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘I am the Lord your…

From my experiences, that seems to be the general sentiment among 75% of conservative evangelicals.
Not gonna lie, the kink factor/sexual gratification is definitely a big one for me, and I’m sure most male readers could relate. There’s just something about full, productive, milky breasts that’s wildly erotic and sensual; it would certainly turn me on in marriage. Honestly, I think it’s a delicious relationship. Also huge is the otherwise…
The world likes to twist Scriptural truths. They’d like to have us think sex is all about us but one of the main reasons God gave us such a powerful gift is not to get our rocks off. It’s to serve our spouse. By putting their needs above ours. Our reciprocal pleasure should only be…

Some people find this blog by googling things like “is it sinful to breastfeed my husband?”, and I received this on Wednesday on my Facebook page: “I CANNO’T UNDERSTAND CHRIST CENTERED ANR.HOW CAN LOVE FOR BOOBS AND LOVE FOR CHRIST GO TOGETHER?” It may seem to many that I am preaching a sexualized form of…
