>I mentioned the desire of treating a boy as a piece of meat, because I believe we all look at people with sexual desires.< I agree that we all look at people with sexual desires, but treating some one 'as a piece of meat' indicates that you have no interest at all in the other's feelings. >Something in us wants to forget God and unite with another or reach the high of sexual ecstasy.< Forget God? I'm afraid I don't know what you mean... I don't see all that much wrong with getting a physical 'high' from sex, but it's all the better to get an emotional 'high' as well, which is reached by 'making love' to some one for whom you have feelings for. As for the prison reference, I'd have to say that it is almost always for self gratification. Sex can be nothing but sex, or it can be love-making. One is purely physical, the other is held by many to be the ultimate physical expression of one's love for another. In any relationship, it is necessary to look at the situation, and decide if you wish to be friends or lovers. One must always take the other's feelings in to consideration. If both of you wish to be lovers, then what is the harm in doing so? One can love a friend, and still just be friends. You must decide what both of you want out of the relationship. Love exists on many different levels, probably too many to be counted. You may quote scripture all you wish, personally, I place my faith in God himself - not a book, not the cross... Such things may be symbols of our faith, but our faith must be placed in God and God alone. Just plain sex may very well displease the Lord. But actually love for another, expressed physically, surely would not be frowned upon... Sprite. |
