Feeding "False Fires"
Today, we released an episode that was inspired by Pastor Steve Furtick's message about how passion needs parameters. Specifically sexual passion.
He brilliantly explains that having sex outside of or before marriage is like building fires that don't have the proper structure to contain it.
Marriage is the structure that Steve suggests should be used to contain that fire.
I would also add that the over hype of fantasy in sexuality is also feeding that "false fire" Steve defines as infatuation.
Men (and women) watching porn on a daily basis could be putting a false image of sex into our minds as well.
Could we be training ourselves to ONLY get aroused by the things we see in porn or by the well placed words we read in romance novels? Maybe.
One thing's for sure is that it depends on the person. Some people can watch porn on a non-consistent basis and be ok when it comes to their expectations during sex. Some couples even watch porn together to get the "juices flowing" so to speak.
But one thing that won't help anyone is shaming them for having those desires. This is something that the church and society as a whole are terrible with in most cases.
I've seen happy couples that swing with other couples and I've seen PLENTY of unhappy couples that wouldn't even consider that lifestyle.
It all depends on you and what you can tolerate as a couple and as individuals and that requires the one thing I'm always advising: listen to your soul.
