But that's not what you SAID, or your Church. You said sex is the greatest intimate act possible, and it's not. Now you're changing your story to, OK, it CAN be intimate. Sometimes. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

You are right, I was wrong. I think we can all agree that sex is the most potentially intimate physical activity we can do with another person. However, without prior intimacy, for example when done for money, it can become an act that emotionally, physically, and spiritually can hurt a person. In this way it is a different and unique physical action than say faring or eating, which I think were your examples. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I took him to mean it can "strengthen" intimacy. Meaning someone was already intimate, and sex did something or other to make intimacy stronger? It might? Much like a walk on the beach holding hands or sharing deeply held beliefs. But he is saying the sex isn't the intimacy itself? I tend to see sex used much more often as a tool or sometimes a duty. Sad, I know. But like that surrender clause in the bible where the woman is supposed to surrender herself, even if the guy is a wife and child beater. Maybe their thinking is that in an abusive relationship, if the woman gives herself to the abuser sexually, that maybe the beatings will stop and they can be then "intimate", because of the power of sex? idk The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury.

You seem unaware of how degrading sex can be in marriage. Is it your position then that those that have sex for hire, should be shamed?

The woman, maybe, if she doesn't know what she's doing emotionally. The men, not so much. Men are detached much of the time during sex anyway, whether they are paying for it or not. Most men indulge in fantasies during sex that are about women other than who they're with. Women do this also, more and more, or so I've read. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

No, the Church's take on sex in marriage is that it's the most wonderful thing you can ever experience. Anybody who's been married over a month knows this is pure fantasy, but that's the story the Church is sticking with. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Let me make it clear that the arrangement should be consensual to everybody and the prostitute should understand the situation. However, I think we differ on the role of sexuality in general. Most people, especially young men, have a strong need for sex once in a while. I hate to bring this up, but I think the many child sex scandals in the church are born out of a denial of this.

No, I think we should treat them like Jesus did. We should treat them with compassion and remind them that they are worth more than their body or what they look like. That they are truly loved unconditionally. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

They can still do all that and sell sex, if they have the right attitude about it. Some of the more attractive ones make over 6 figures a year. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
