Was it from your church? From your parents? From your friends? No matter how much true and good sex-positive teaching we had, most of us learned a lot about sex from popular culture, too. Movies, television shows, and popular music often communicate messages about sex that are more myth than they are truth. In this episode, we talk about some of those myths--and we'll look at the truths that should replace those myths.   Sponsors Use coupon code SEXCHAT10 for 10% off.

Song of Songs So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun. \u2013 Ecclesiastes 8:15 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer\u2014 may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love. \u2013 Proverbs 5:18-19 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. \u2013 Genesis 2:24 \u201cFor this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.\u201d This is a profound mystery\u2014but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. \u2013 Ephesians 5:31-33 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. \u2013 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well. Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares? Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers. \u2013 Proverbs 5:15-17 \u201cYou have heard that it was said, \u2018You shall not commit adultery.\u2019 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. \u2013 Matthew 5:27-28 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed. \u2013 Ephesians 4:18-19 Resources Are Romance Novels Okay for Christian Women? \u2013 The Forgiven Wife What Is Lusting? \u2013 Hot, Holy & Humorous If I Wrote the Sex Scenes \u2013 Hot, Holy & Humorous Have Stories Damaged Your View of Sex? \u2013 Hot, Holy & Humorous Webinar Series Click to learn more about our upcoming webinars.   ","author_name":"Sex Chat for Christian Wives","author_url":"https:\/\/forchristianwives.com","html":"
