Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—
for your love is more delightful than wine.
Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;
your name is like perfume poured out.
No wonder the young women love you!
Take me away with you—let us hurry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers. Song of Solomon 1:2-3
No where in the Bible does it say sex is
only for procreation. In fact, the book
Song of Solomon expresses an intense passion between a groom and his
bride. When you read the words, it
doesn't sound like they are excited to procreate, but to find pleasure.
God created sex for pleasure, but only
for a pleasure between a husband and a wife.
This kind of intimacy should only be shared between a husband and wife,
committed to one another for life, not to be casually distributed with anyone
you meet.
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.
May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
A loving doe, a graceful deer—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife?
Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman? Proverbs 5:15-20
So sex was meant for pleasure and procreation. It joyfully begins the process of having
children. The purpose of making our
bodies respond pleasurably to sex was so two spouses could enjoy each other in
the intimate confines of a committed relationship.
Sex is for our good, as long as we use
it for his good purposes.
