S3x. A word that carries many different connotations in our culture today. You could easily point to the 1960’s counter-culture and “sexual revolution” as a starting point for America’s sexual journey of the past 50 years. The sexual revolution has been ever expanding its influence and changing terms and definitions ever since. But did s3x need a “revolution”? What does the Bible say about s3x? Let's look at some Bible verses about s3x.
One of my favorite Bible verses about s3x is “And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.” ~ Genesis 2:25 Being with your spouse and not ashamed is God’s design. God created s3x to be a holy union, a coming together between a husband and wife, to enjoy the pleasure that two bodies were created to experience. He created them man and woman and said it was “very good.” He designed s3x to bring joy and happiness to one another in the bond of marriage. When God created Adam and Eve, He said the two will “become one flesh.”
Our culture has run contrary to God’s design for s3x. The pornographic industry is one the largest entertainment industries out there. Mainstream movies and tv shows constantly feature risqué material in a way that desensitizes all of us to biblical norms. Virtually every entertainment and health magazine on the newsstand displays a half-naked woman or man selling, market, and promoting promiscuity and sexuality. The purity, beauty, and intimacy of what s3x should be, has been vastly degraded. Now, s3x has turned into a dirty image. It has become a topic that is no longer discussed with taste and reservation but with lust and profanity. Bible verses about s3x have much to say about this topic.
S3x doesn't have to be a topic that is unbearable to discuss openly with your spouse or even age-appropriate children. Make it a topic to draw you closer and experience one of the many pleasures God created for good. You shouldn’t feel ashamed to experience the depths of intimacy you were blessed to share with one another. The confines of marriage are safe places to be open and free with your body. Let yourself feel beautiful, and enjoy the excitement s3x can bring to your emotional and physical health as well.
May these Bible verses about s3x open your eyes to not being ashamed of the word but becoming empowered in yourself to love and be loved in such a special way with your spouse. May God bless you Abundantly.
