Is Sex Sacred? (Read)

What a topic! Well let’s start by defining what I mean by sacred. Sacred means something that is special, important, worthy of respect, pure … not a toy or something to be taken lightly. No, I’m not going to get all preachy or religious on you, but some of what I say is inspired by a theological seminar I attended on the weekend about just this topic. I went partly because I was curious and partly because I knew the organizer. Although I didn’t agree with a lot of it, I did find it quite informative and it gave me a lot of food for thought. So like I said, I won’t be talking in religious terms, but, there might be some theological undertones.

In general however, most major religions do consider sex a sacred thing between two people, typically married people. I won’t get into details, but pre-marital sex is generally forbidden. This also translates to cultural taboos as well. Things are slowly changing on the cultural fronts, however, there hasn’t been a shift in thought on the religious front. Sex has always been a holy and sacred thing not to be used as a “toy” (even though in practice it was and still is a different story). Essentially, sexual behavior is directly related to the morality of the individual. Makes sense, morality is what guides our actions (whether we are moral individuals or not). If you want to read more about each religion and their beliefs this is a pretty good source Religion and Sexuality.

 

In the latest issue of Psychology Today, their cover article 12 Rude Revelations About Sex (which is definitely worth a read) had this to say about what religions know about sex that we don’t:

“Only religions still take sex seriously, in the sense of properly respecting its power to turn us away from our priorities. Only religions see it as something potentially dangerous and needing to be guarded against. Perhaps only after killing many hours online at youporn.com can we appreciate that on this one point religions have got it right: Sex and sexual images can overwhelm our higher rational faculties with depressing ease. Religions are often mocked for being prudish, but they wouldn’t judge sex to be quite so bad if they didn’t also understand that it could be rather wonderful.”

According to religion, is sex sacred? Yes it is. OK religious stuff done. Let’s get to the real talk …

Is Sex Sacred?

What a loaded question!! Well, not really. Let’s put religion aside for a moment and think of sacred as something special and significant. So put that way, would you say that sex should be something that is special and significant? I would say a big YES. Why? Well, I’ll tell you. Sex has lost its special nature. I truly believe that in this culture of casual, unemotional sex, hook ups and booty calls, sex has lost its importance. So many people are getting hurt because sex is being misused. This isn’t an argument for or against pre-marital sex, it’s an argument to make sex special again. If it’s two consenting adults it doesn’t really matter, or does it? Well, I think it does, particularly since a lot of people are getting hurt because of it. Let me explain.

 In the search for intimacy and closeness, we tend to reach out to others in different ways. The desire for closeness with others is part of our humanity. Nothing at all wrong with that. Where it becomes a problem is when people use sex in a non-committal way to get close to other people because they don’t feel fulfilled. The thing is, these casual encounters, instead of fulfilling their need for intimacy, typically make them feel more alone and, in many cases, used. The emptiness remains and it’s joined by feelings of regret and sometimes guilt. This is the reality that many men and women face. I know this because I’ve spoken to many people who have had this experience, and, let’s face it, we’ve ALL been there. Some people are truly capable of having unemotional, purely physical sex, but most people aren’t. This is the reality of the current dating climate.  I’ve asked you before … who’s in control? You or your sex drive?

Food For Thought

I’m not here to judge or make anyone feel bad. I’m a bit on the fence too. Just wanted to put it out there as a thought. What if we restricted our sex lives to committed relationships? Could we avoid a lot of hurt and feeling used? What if we didn’t have sex on the first date? What if we didn’t answer that booty call? What if we made sex with our partners special? What if sex was about making that connection with someone even deeper? What if sex was about our partner’s pleasure and happiness before our own? What if sex was uniting two human beings into one? What if infidelity wasn’t an issue because sex was sacred? Is anyone ready to make a 180 degree turn back to making sex sacred again? Because isn’t the best sex that which you have with someone you truly care about, maybe even love? Food for thought.

Khloe Kardashian Sends Birthday Wishes to Scott Disick in Most Irresponsible Way Possible

This weekend may have belonged to Kim Kardashian.
But today was all about Scott Disick for many members of Reality TV's First Family... because the man who knocked up Kourtney Kardashian on two occasions is now 31 years old!
And Khloe Kardashian sent her best wishes to her "partner in crime" by posting the following photo of herself and Disick, using the pair's mug shots in a celebratory manner.

"Happy birthday to my partner in crime @letthelordbewithyou I love you LD!!" Khloe wrote, completely oblivious to how WILDLY INAPPROPRIATE such a gesture actually is.
Kardashian was arrested in 2007 for DUI, while Disick was booked for this same crime in 2001 after crashing his car in Riverhead, New York.
These are dangerous crimes. People could have been killed by Khloe and Scott's illegal mistakes.
They aren't to be joked about and brought up in some kind of jovial manner. Referring to someone as a "partner in crime" isn't funny when there are actual crimes at play.
Seriously, Khloe. Come on. Shame on you. (Hollywood Gossip)

Keshi, who for example is wanted by South African Bafana Bafana, was quoted saying by Vanguard:
"Six countries are calling on me, so Nigeria will not be the last country for me to coach."
However now he is said to be focused on the upcoming 2-14 FIFA World Cup.
Keshi's future after the tournament is unclear due to numerous controversies surrounding his relationships with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). The recent problems were connected with the 30-man provisional squad for 2014 Brazil.
It would be recalled that Keshi, who guided the Super Eagles to a third Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) last year, decided to quit soon after the win referring to differences with the NFF leadership, however he withdrew his decision after some top country leaders had interfered.
The 52-year-old Keshi has also said that he would like to proceed as Nigeria coach "if the terms are right".

According to news reports, his death was confirmed by an official of the health department of Nuevo Leon, where the city of Monterrey is located.

Still, Uribe had been confined to his bed, unable to walk on his own. Since 2002, Uribe had been bedridden, relying on his mother and friends to feed and clean him.
The official, who was not authorized to be quoted by name, said Uribe had been taken to the hospital on May 2 because of an abnormal heartbeat.
He had to be taken to the hospital with a crane by emergency and defense workers.
Doctors have not yet certified the cause of death. In addition to a cardiac condition, Uribe was also believed to have suffered from liver problems.
Uribe wed Claudia Solis in 2008, one of the few times he left his home since 2002.
He was a chubby kid, weighing more than 250 pounds (115 kilograms) as an adolescent. Starting in 1992, he said, his weight began ballooning further.

Rob Kardashian Deletes Past Tweets, Quotes Psalm 33:12

Rob Kardashian made his voice known today for the first time since bailing on his sister's wedding.
As previously reported, the reality star flew home to Los Angeles late Friday night, skipping out on the Kim Kardashian-Kanye West wedding in Florence the following day.
According to TMZ insiders, Rob clashed with his family after he refused to pose for photos with them due to his excessive weight gain.

How did such an argument escalate to the point where Rob would actually peace out of Europe altogether and miss his sibling's big day?
We can't say for certain.
But Rob opened today by Tweeting “good morning from Los Angeles,” only to then delete that message… along with all other previously-written Twitter messages.
He then Tweeted "happy memorial day. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD. Psalm 33:12. Lord Jesus, protect those who protect me- police, firefighters, and those in the military. Teach me to pray for them and to honor them for their service. Amen."
Kardashian wrapped up his post with a simple "GOD BLESS AMERICA."

There's nothing wrong (and a whole lot right) with sending our prayers and thanks to our veterans.
But one has to wonder if Rob Kardashian is on the verge of some kind of breakdown. He's clearly not on the same page with his family. Heck, he's not in the same book.
All other of Kim's siblings, meanwhile, were present for the ceremony.
Khloe Kardashian even posted an Instagram photo of her dress and sent along wishes to Kenye for a "happily ever after." Let's hope Rob gets one of those as well. (HollywoodGossip)

Pastor Accuses Wife Of Attempting To Destroy His Manhood

Matthew Olumide, a pastor on Monday asked a Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan to dissolve his marriage with his wife, Oluyemisi, for allegedly attempting to destroy his manhood.


The clergy man also told the court that his wife had overwhelmed his life with miseries.
"Oluyemisi exposed me to public ridicule when she tore my clothes, including my underwear, and compressed my testicles. I spent several weeks in the hospital and when I returned, she warned me not to receive visitors if I needed my life. She falsely accused me of having extra marital affair with my church secretary" Olumide said.
The plaintiff further told the court that his wife had ruined his ministry following her domineering attitude, adding that from more than 50 members, his congregation had dwindled to a handful.
"She does not even take care of domestic issues like preparing my food and that of the children anymore. I have to combine all that with evangelism when I should be resting. In fact, she has almost sniffed life out of me" Olumide said.
Oluyemisi, however, told the court that her husband and his family were always beating her.
"He had a wife before he married me, and they are still seeing each other till date. He even invites her to our night vigils. Olumide asked me not to work and yet, he does not take care of me" Oluyemisi said.
Ezekiel Ogundipe, the court's president told the couple to invite their relatives to court on the next adjourned date, and adjourned the case to June 9 for further hearing.
