Under The Sheets: A Refreshing Perspective To Enjoying Sex In Marriage

For many, sex is a big deal. But no matter how much of a deal it is, many, especially Christian couples, still find it tough speaking about their desires, needs, or expectations around it. I guess speaking about personal struggles around the subject is quite a big deal, or is it?

I think that culture and the media have dictated a huge chunk of the narratives guiding this area of our lives, stirring questions such as; how much would I do before I am misconstrued as a maniac or pervert, or how can I say I don’t know what to do and not be judged a novice with the risk of failing, or losing my ego or partner. Religion has also added to its confusions; stirring questions like, at what point would I/we be sinning before the Lord, or how can I/we please God with our sexual intimacy.

And as for the parts where both cultural and religious systems do not agree, humans are left totally confused and compelled to figure it out for themselves. I’d say that’s where many ‘faithful’s’ get stuck. Others probably never bothered about the subject and believed that, like every other thing they have achieved in life, they’d figure this one out too. Until they begin to battle with the insatiable sensations it creates once ‘its gates are open’, and little to no knowledge of how to truly satisfy it/themselves.
