Sex and the Holy Life
I would like to comment - positively! - about the answer to "Is Masturbation Okay?" God bless you for that answer! I work with young people in our church and have such a deep burden for them to discover the joys and benefits of living a holy life, in every area.
I'd like to add to what you said about this. We recently watched a great DVD series on marriage in our church, and the minister had a lot to say about this. He mentioned that even the secular "anything goes" crowd is now realizing the damage this does to married sex. They're finally saying this is a major cause of sexual dysfuntion in men, as it literally retrains the mind/body response to sexual stimuli and erection cannot be achieved the normal way any longer. Ergo, all the ED drugs out there, and they're not all being used by men with legitimate medical problems (on blood pressure meds, etc).
This is also, sadly, tied in with pornography - which also retrains the mind and body's response away from what is normal, the way God intended. This minister in the DVD series pointed out that even among the couples he ministers to, a majority of sexual dysfuntion is a direct result of the use of pornography. These poor guys cannot 'function' without a magazine to look at...and these are Christian couples! Many of them ministers...
Sex education in many public schools has been promoting various perversions as "not sex" (talk about euphemism!) to students, for many years now. As if merely cutting down on pregnancies and STDs justifies all this. Not to mention blurring the boundaries of right and wrong. We're going on a second generation hooked on perversion, destroying their marriages and leading them into immorality, and they haven't even a clue that these behaviors are wrong!
