Try our new email daily devotional. Life today is WAY too busy. Take some time to STOP and look around . What it could and should be by Susan Martinuk Sex is everywhere. It is almost impossible to pick up a magazine, listen to music or watch a movie without receiving sexual messages.
Advertisers use images of women and men in suggestive poses to sell their products.
There are sex chat rooms on the Internet and condom machines in public washrooms. Some messages are merely suggestive, while others are explicit portrayals of sexual acts that leave little to the imagination. Most of the messages I have come across seem to present a one-dimensional picture of sexuality. Sex is primarily portrayed as an activity designed for the exclusive purpose of giving physical pleasure. That notion may fuel our drive for nights of passion, but, unfortunately, it also reduces our expectations of what sex could, and should, be.
