Love And Sex

Love and sex are not in any way related because one can have sex with the one one does not love-at least, not in a satisfying, good, or romantic relationship. Sex without love is possible; it can be for the sake of pleasure [when you enjoy having sex with someone], money, or when you cant afford losing someone because of material things. If we should look at it in this aspect, we can say rape is another form of having sex, though, it is illegal and dangerous. One can also have sex with someone one no longer love or care about. This is possible in certain condition like when you dont want to turn the person away with hurt feelings. It is also easy for someone to feel like having sex or aroused without discriminating who comes to help at that particular point in time. Some people might find it difficult but, it is possible for some people.

In fact, I think sex is like many other areas of life in most ways. It is like other things simply because it is often more satisfying when enjoyed mutually with some one whom you like and who likes you and whom you have a full relationship with. For instance, we can prefer to share a good meal, especially the one you cooked yourself, with someone you really care for. In some cases youll find playing tennis, football or swimming with a friend or a special person in your life enjoyable and satisfying. Then suppose that your friend is not around and you have to play with a total stranger, you will not find it satisfying compared to playing it with your friend.

Sex without love

In fact, research indicates that when an uncommitted couple gets involved in sexual intercourse, the relationship usually begins to end. They have reached the superficial end of the physical aspects of the relationship, and they have no particular compelling reason to explore its depth. If you think you love each other, sex is okay, even if you are not married because you may loss your partner if he or she is ready for sex and you refuse to meet his or her need in that particular time.

Lets explore together the differences between love and sex. As we already know that our source of information must be someone more intelligent and wiser than another confused human being. The one who created love and sex and we who practice it. I know some people will begin to think that how can someone bring one self to accept the idea of a book written at least twenty centuries ago, can it have anything relevant to say today? The Holy Bible. In Ephesus, like many ancient cities, they hosted a religion centered on sex, although men were suppose to have wife as a respectable portfolio, their daily life was far from respectable. In down town Ephesus as in Athens or Corinth, there was a large temple decorated for the worship of fertility goddesses. In Ephesus, the deity was known as Artemis or Diana. Inside her temple, there flourished a huge religious brothel. Worship consisted of sexual acts with the hundreds of priestesses who were treated like so many pieces of meat in the market. Men had sex available in the morning, afternoon and in the evening. Every male in Ephesus go to the temple to have sex whenever they liked. Women were used, abused and thrown away.

In the book of Ephesians 5:3-4, Apostle Paul gives a picture of the negative results that occur when we fail to walk in love or to understand the difference between love and sex.

But do not let immoralities or any impurity or greed even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
