Singles talking Sex in the Church!
OMG! Is it a sin for singles to discuss sex in the church? Why is it that so many churches shun away from sexual topics when ministering to singles? Do the ministers not know that 90% or more singles in the church has had a sexual encounter? Could this be the reason why singles are turning to the media (talk shows, radio personalities, and/or fortune tellers) for relationship answers? Is there a problem with singles speaking out about sex in the church? These are questions I am asked everywhere I go. As a Christian, I believe the learning should start at home (home outside of personal home - being the church). I would rather my children be given the spiritual knowledge of sex versus the societal thoughts of sex. What is your take on singles sexual conversations in the church?

I agree that we (the church) must teach our youth about sex from a spiritual standpoint and it needs to go deeper than "don't do it until you're married." However, I'm not sure what the benefit would be for singles to discuss sex. I understand that most singles have had a sexual encounter but I don't understand why there is a need now to discuss it. Most singles know what the Bible says about sex before marriage...that is the one part that churches don't have a problem discussing. Maybe we should look at why the focus is on sex...is there something lacking in the lives of singles that leave them looking for love in all the wrong places (talk shows...etc)?
