The trouble with lies is it’s hard to forget where the real man hides.”
–Gene Eugene, lead singer of Adam Again
I always admire people who are not afraid to come out in the light and live their life fearlessly.
The Naked Cowboy in Times Square playing his guitar and giving a smile in the busiest city in the world.
An exotic dancer at a Gentleman’s club showing off her skill, talent and her body knowing full well their relatives or friends could walk into the door at any time.
They are honest and open about who they are and despite their inner fears they face it and deal with whatever the outcome.
Unfortunately, people of the Christian faith have a harder time dealing with being an honest people.
Oh don’t get me wrong, their faith is strong and many don’t have a trouble getting dressed to head into church to worship God.
But if there is any subject that causes even the truest of believer to cower into the corner its sex.
Sex keeps even the truest believer to find a good excuse to be somewhere else other than in the place where you are.
Why?
In many pulpits around the world it is taught that sex is wonderful when it is placed in the marital bed.
Sex outside of that (or any variance of “God’s design”) is an abomination in the eyes of God, so they say.
Yet many a believer—myself included—find us in situations where we say one thing and do another.
This is the hypocrite’s tale.
It is a tale of longing, wanting badly to be honest about what we are attracted to.
Our love of everything sexual, and a desire to have a relationship where there are no secrets between our partners and ourselves is a dream that seems so far away.
Some in the church say that’s an oxymoron!
I say this is not only attainable but something I think God supports in our lives.
But if we are to get to that place of honesty there is one thing you and I need to say from the get go:
"I LOVE SEX!"
Say that three times to yourself or stand in the mirror and say it out loud.
There, don’t you feel better now?
I hope so.
If we are to start on the road to honesty we need to say this to ourselves and admit we enjoy this great gift God created in us.
So you like sex eh?
Good.
Now lets get down to the next phase of an honest life.
Here is a revelation that is going to shock the socks off of you.
Baring any sexual abuse to children, animals, an adulterous affair, or other adults who are forced upon sexually you can enjoy pretty much anything else provided it doesn’t offend your conscious or the conscious of anyone else.
God has given you the freedom to enjoy the wide range of sexuality.
From masturbation to even (dare I say it) inviting others into your bedroom you don’t have to act in the shadows again.
Too good to be true, you say?…
I thought so too because for many years I lived in the shadows sexually gorging on anything erotic to whet my appetite while in public I denounced these very acts as wicked and wrong.
The best way to describe it is like you gorge on mounds and mounds of sexual material and experiences as if you never had sex before.
Then you get so stuffed (sexually speaking) you go to church or to your own home and regurgitate all those experiences with promises of “I’ll be a better Christian Lord if you’ll help me never to do this again”.
You’re then caught in a vicious cycle of craving for sex, getting filled behind the backs of everyone, regret, repenting and re-repenting to never do it again.
Sit back and look at what’s going on here.
You are letting this cycle take control of you and one day it will destroy all the things that is good within your life.
Relationships with spouses, boyfriends and girlfriends are ruined because you can’t bring yourself to the truth you like sex.
Take it from me you don’t have to beat yourself up for having a sexual thought.
Break the cycle.
Learn to accept yourself not just as a spiritual being but also as a sexual one too with needs for intimacy and love.
Accept yourself not as evil for touching yourself, for seeing bodies entwined in passion, or enjoying entwining yourself but as a normal person of God.
Paul said it best in Romans:
“Therefore do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil.” (Rom 14: 15).
Today is the day to stop living in the shadows and start living an honest life.
It is sad the rest of the church is more worried about sex toys or whether a child sees a nipple and not enough time encouraging fellow sisters and brothers to enjoy their God given right to sex.
Determine today that this will be the time in your life you don’t have to be crushed by guilt and manufactured fear (fed by tradition and misinformation) and find out how much of sexuality you really can enjoy.
