I agree a sexual relationship is intended by God to be a beautiful expression of sexuality. God put limits on the things we are to enjoy in this lifetime so that our experience would be balanced and with responsibility to the other creatures of the universe. All of these do's and don'ts requirements seem to pan out. If you eat like a glutton your health suffers. If you take attractive things that you haven't earned you get social retaliation. etc. etc. Sexual relations have always had conditions. I don't know to many men who can't imagine the joy of spreading themselves all over the place, any more than I would argue that eating to ones total satisfaction doesn't seem to have its rewards (in the short term). There are examples all over the literature of the heart ache that results from violating the guidelines for sexual relations, of course hollywood trys to portray it as a good choice. As I said before, no matter what the scenario you give, you have to encapsulate the matter for it to hold the definition of beautiful sexual expression. Are you trying to tell me that a wife would be comfortable sharing her premarital sexual exploits with her husband for his enrichment. Why not? We talk about our world travels, fine meals, education, occupational triumphs,everything but our premarital sexual encounters has the ability to enrich the relationship. The answer is no, we would have to break open the capsul and then it loses its specialness. It has to remain private and intimate. Private intimate sexual experiences are meant to be reserved for marriage where they can be celebrated and not tucked away and hidden. Convince me, I don't want to think of myself as intolerant. But at the same time I can't condone something that I believe is deceptively harmful. You've said a couple of times you think it is something beautiful. I'm not seeing it through your eyes, honestly I'm trying. It might be easier for you to convince me that Cinderella lived happily ever after in Prince Charming's castle.
