More Rare Admissions by Christians That Women Including Christian Ones Are Sexual and Have Sex Drives
Article: (Link): Sex, Lies, and Christianity: Reclaiming Biblical Sexuality
Excerpts:
- Recently we asked a class of students at a Christian college for a list of apologetic and discernment questions they would like to see addressed.
One of the questions posed was not a surprise — “Is masturbation OK?” — but the fact that it was posed by a female instead of a male student prompted us to reexamine our past articles on sexuality.
The focus of “Porn and the Male Brain” (vol. 34, no. 5, 2011) was obvious, and while “Pornography: The Darkening of Our Minds” (vol. 27, no. 3, 2004) did address female use of pornography, it was largely geared toward men. Thus the article “Sexual Sanity for Women” by Ellen Dykas came out of our discussions to make available a biblically sound perspective on sexuality directed especially to women.
In January 2013 the Barna Group released a survey called “Temptations and America’s Favorite Sins” and broke down the results by gender and age. Men and women almost equally admitted to sexually inappropriate behavior (10 percent and 8 percent, respectively), and while it’s true that more men look at porn on the Internet (21 percent), about 8 percent of women also do so. Furthermore, while only 15 percent of baby boomers look at porn on the Internet, almost double that amount (27 percent) of millennials view porn online.1
We also took note of the “mommy porn” phenomenon that is the Fifty Shades of Grey S&M bondage book series, which has been a world-wide best-seller and is still #3 on the New York Times Best Sellers list after more than one year. And we noted that Christian women in churches were also reading the books.2 We have a sidebar specifically written about Fifty Shades of Grey.
Article: (Link): Christians Outreach Into Strip Clubs, Porn Conventions to Share Love of Jesus
- Instead of ostracizing and condemning men and women who work in the porn industry, two Christian ministries from Southern California are among several in the nation that are reaching out to workers in strip clubs and porn conventions in an attempt to share God’s love for them.
…Brown, who told CP that her chapter has fine-tuned their strategies during the last seven years, said she strongly advises against allowing women who previously worked in strip clubs or those who are struggling with pornography addiction or lust from joining the JC’s Girls outreach team, because the temptations for them can be overwhelming.
In (Link): a previous post, I used this same article to hammer home another point.
Notice in this article there is an admission that women have sex drives, a libido, that they lust and some look at pornography. Rarely does one see female sexuality acknowledged in Christian material.
It is always wrongly assumed by conservative Christians that all women have no interest in sex and are not turned on by good looking guys.
We repeatedly hear in sermons, or see in most articles about sexual matters, that “men are visual,” and men want and enjoy sex, and men are the ones with porn addictions. Meanwhile, women are almost always depicted in Christian publications or sermons as only wanting “emotional intimacy” and don’t give a whit about sex or a man’s physical appearance.
