Why On Did God Create Sex So Powerful

Why On Did God Create Sex So Powerful?
If you’ve struggled with sexual temptation, maybe you’ve wondered why sexual desire is so difficult to resist, or even wondered why did God create sex?

You’re not alone in wondering. Parents wring their hands as they watch their kids walk into a world pushing sex at them, husbands and wives wonder if their beloved will be faithful, and people the world over are sounding alarms over the very real problems of rape, sexual abuse, and sex trafficking.

Wouldn’t it have been better if God had designed sex with a little less power, created sexual desire with just a bit less voltage?

I’ve felt the iron grip of lust refuse to let me go when I was trying to break free from sexual addiction. I’ve got kids and know that helpless feeling of watching them walk into a school prescribing condoms and affirming sexual confusion. And some of my earliest memories are of family members weeping over infidelity.

Sexual and romantic desires have the power to break hearts, enslave bodies, and wreck the world.

So why on earth did God create sex so powerful?

I want to unpack this a bit because it will help all of us to better navigate this sex-saturated culture.

But this week, I want to begin with this reality: Sex is not the problem, and the power of sex is not a product of the fall.
Sex was powerful before sin entered the picture. In fact, I dare say sex was more powerful then. The atomic power of sex is not something the evil one invented, not something he would ever even dream of. Sex is God’s invention and He loves what He has made.

What we object to most is not the power of sex, but the power of sin. Whether how we eat, drink, marry, parent, work, or play, sin hijacks the power of good and steers it destructively.

Sex is one of the most important areas of humanity Jesus came to “seek and to save” (Luke 19:10). He didn’t come to extinguish sexual desire. He didn’t come to pull the plug and shut the whole thing down. Sin has done that. Jesus came to plug it back in, to restore all the love and life and joy and glory and power that sex is meant to have.

So in whatever way, sex feels too powerful in your life, begin by bringing all your sexual addictions, fears, hurts, and sorrows—sins you’ve done and sins done to you—to Jesus. And keep bringing them. He has come not to condemn but to save. Trust Him to do so.

Why Having More Intimacy And S*ex During Lockdown Is A Good Idea And How To Get It
The stats are in and the decline in sex among singles during the COVID-19 pandemic is understandable, considering that there is a deadly virus rampant which can be transmitted just by sitting beside your date for a tea and a chat, but the decline in sex among couples staying home is somewhat baffling.
Singles are well advised against getting physically close with people who they don’t know and trust well enough to be sure that they are virus-free, unless they’ve decided to take the risk of infecting each other. Even a good friend who seems perfectly healthy may unknowingly be carrying the virus. In one study, 30% of transmissions were by asymptomatic people who were unaware that they were infected. On the bright side though, with a little imagination and adjustments to prevent the spread of COVID-19, there are plenty of sexy ideas for intimacy during the pandemic, even for singles.

Couples who are already living together probably won’t reduce their risk of infection any further by abstaining from sexual activity, if they are already sharing the same food and bedclothes, breathing the same air in a closed space and touching the same surfaces. Surprisingly though, a Kinsey study of people’s sex lives since the COVID-19 pandemic showed that very few people are taking the opportunity to enhance their bedroom activities, despite having loads of time for it. And why is this a problem?......

Is less sex really a bad thing?
Cutting back on sexual activity means missing out on the higher quality of life and health benefits of sex. Better heart health is one of the perks. Perhaps a more serious concern is that sexless partnerships often lead to cheating, followed by divorce.

Intimacy is the glue that holds relationships together and it is more than just sex. Breaking down the word INTIMACY, it sounds like IN TO ME SEE, and it suggests what happens when people connect more deeply.

Indeed, for many people, the fear of showing who they REALLY are prohibits real intimacy. But if they are brave enough, there are many fun ways to get to know and enjoy your partner more intimately besides having (penetrative) sex. In fact, sex may be regarded as the icing on the cake, in a deep, fulfilling and happy relationship. Other forms of intimacy like cuddling, talking, laughing, expressing feelings with eye contact and touch have many benefits, and it could lead to more sexual intercourse. Sex without emotional intimacy or ‘just eating the icing’ may be regular or occasional choice for people who are single or cheating on their partner, but most people like to have the icing and the cake together.

> Statistics show that many couples are already on their way to divorce.
The standard package might be preferable for couples, in the long-term, unless they've agreed on another arrangement. Intimacy with someone other than a spouse, and the absence of honest communication between partners are the top reasons that half of marriages end in divorce.

Statistics show that many couples are already on their way to divorce. The bottom line is that some sort of remedy for dwindling sex lives during the COVID-19 pandemic could boost health and wellbeing and possibly save marriages. To that end, lets look the why staying at home hasn’t been very sexy.

STRESS isn’t sexy
The pandemic has contributed to fears, worry and uncertainty about the future. Add to this greater responsibilities of keeping up with precautions for preventing virus transmission, taking care of children and partners at home, learning how to homeschool and working online. All of this creates a feeling of home being in a prison rather than a peaceful, loving abode to share with a partner. In this stressful scenario, the greater the time spent together, the more likely that sensitivities will be triggered and negative emotions such as frustration, anger, fear and sadness will run high, putting a damper on any sexual desires. If the couples don’t have good habits of handling these intense situations, it could lead to ongoing and worsening trouble at home.

> In many homes, the difficulties had already started prior to March 2020.
Truthfully, couples likely weren’t having much sex to begin with; Sexiness, and apparently the frequency of having sex, declines with the length of time couples have been together. An astounding one in five married couples have sex less than ten times a year and another one in five are having no sex at all. These may be the extremes but still, on average, after ten years of marriage, more than half of couples are only having sex once a week.

To make matters worse, it is estimated that 25-75% of married men cheat. Men in sexless marriages are often unhappy; feel lonely, frustrated, unloved and undesirable. Correspondingly, they are likely to show physical signs of unrest such as increased blood pressure. Considering all this, it may seem excusable for men to seek sex outside of sexless marriages, because they are suffering and just trying to save their marriage, at least that is what they say when asked. Women who cheat are more likely to have already decided to end the marriage.

Women who want to keep their partner though, may need to make some changes so they can enjoy sex with their partners again. Likewise, men have a part to play in spicing things up.

What is Sexy?
There are the obvious ways to set the mood and create an ambience; Dimming the lights, donning the candles, romantic music, your sexiest attire and some massage oil with added aphrodisiac essential oils like ylang-ylang could do the trick. However, if you or your partner are feeling exhausted or despondent after spending so much time at home and dealing with the worrisome uncertainties of the pandemic, at least one of you may not be ‘in the mood’ and these preparations may lead to disappointment. If you have a frank and open discussion about this with your partner first, you may both agree to give it a go and here are a few less obvious ways to get your sexy on…….

Sex is sexy

If you want to have sex, start with asking for it. Asking for sex will NOT kill the romance. Your partner may say they are not in the mood. However research affirms that once one partner makes some sexy physical contact, the juices can start flowing, and the mood can quickly change… Oxytocin, known as the ‘love hormone’ can be released as easily as sharing a 30 second hug with your partner and increases the feeling of closeness, which could be a good lead-in to some sexual intimacy. There are other factors at play, though, so the path from foreplay to sex is not guaranteed.

Sexy body a must?

It is true that physical fitness can make love-making more rewarding from an energetic and physiological point of view. Healthy bodies and sexy attire can indeed be a ‘turn-on’. Defining what looks sexy is a somewhat cultural and individual matter, but what the popular media portrays as sexy and which women strive for, believing it will make them more attractive to a man, has simply not been proven to be true. When it comes to choosing a mate for life, men prefer women who are curvy and healthy. Sex appeal can quickly be negated, however, if the emotional part of the relationship has been neglected.

Appreciation is Sexy

All appreciation, not just comme
