so i wanted to write a blog post about sex. not the whole immature teenage me yelling penis a bunch of times and giggling, but not the whole im going to discribe it to you thing either because one i have not had sex so i cannot discribe it. and two when i say i wanna talk about it, write a blog i wanted to discuss how the whole idea of sex has seemed to be considered bad in alot of our socioty. yes i can see how it would be bad to rush into it i guess, if you dont love the person cause there can be that feeling of lonleyness afterwords. but it seems that in todays day and age we still get told what is normal and what is not in this area of our lives.

alot of this appers to come from the church. and other areas. so not to be one of thoes people who goes on a rant saying the chruch is bad. it says we cant do this. it says this is bad. the church is pigion holding us. i will start by saying yes it does appear that way. but being somone who used to go to chruch, and youth group i cant help but attempt to see what they are trying to do. we are not told that we cannot do things by the church because the church wants to hold us down. but because in their eyes they think they are helping us. protecting us. cause i know from all my former church and youth group days the pastor would always say how god was like a father. and trying to protect us. so as a protective father he wants whats best. now im not also trying to go fully to the side of the church im just attmepting to find some sort of middle ground. anyway as god being a father he would only say dont do something becasue in the long wrong it does us harm.

so when the church says something about sex is wrong, or along thoes terms we should not doing this. although i may not agree with them, and dont agree in alot of aspects. i do respect that the main goal of them saying this was not to say your bad, your evil, eww what are you doing. but what to try to keep us heathy and happy and safe in the long run.

but anyway yes so i wanted to to right a blog post about sex and the aspects of it in todays socioty and i thought wow i dont really know if i have that much information myself to write a thoughtfull blog on this so i decided to go and to look stuff up on the internet (yay interwebs). and i ended up reading an article on the web site that i found really interesting. it kinda sums up some of the stuff that i was thinking about and what i wanted to kind of write about. so here is the link.
please read and enjoy.

I'm the last person to defend anything the Church proselytizes about, but I agree with the analogy of God the Father as just that -- a protective father who doesn't want His children to get hurt. It's a nice image, despite my dislike of patriarchal religion.

Also, that article was insanely wonderful. Thank you for linking it!

I will definitely check out this link of yours when I have the time to consider it throughly. From a cursory glance, it looks quite interesting. I'll trade a few links of my own on another related subject.

'Kay. Looks like you got somethings mixed up just a bit. The church never said sex was bad. Ever. It said that sex outside of marriage was bad. The reason for this? Well, I hear that sex is more than just a physical connection. I don't know, but it's also been said that there is an emotional and spiritual connection, and that the ability to be so connected to someone who you know will never leave you is amazing. That is were marriage comes in. That's just what I've heard...

Alternatively, religions or any social movement for that matter, use sex or some other activity to gain and maintain their influence.

good youtube video, thanks. and ya i know that the church never said that all sex was bad. i was thinking along the lines of outside of marriage, and other things that people participate in like maybe orgies or whatever that may not be considered "right". that is what i was thinking about when i was writing this blog. all the things that are considered contraversal and i wonder why? it certain people with authority (not just the chruch). that say what is appropriate and what is not. and that is what bugs me.

if two people love each other and want to go and do some "fun" things. then why not...but like i said in my blog i get why the church would tell them not to, or why other authorities might tell them not to. tell them no that is wrong. just you too can do that, and only in marriage. and no even if two guys love each other you cant make love.

maybe im just a really liberal thinker so i like to question this. i get annoyed when people say no, or dont without a good reason. or a good explination. i immediatly shut down and see there reason as stupid. which is not good, and i know i should work on tha but still.

wow long response on my part
