Do you have anything to add?
Why do you think we as Christians sometimes struggle to talk honestly and openly about sex?
What have you learned from Sex Week?
(PS: Thanks for making Sex Week so much fun. Winners for prizes will be announced later this afternoon!)
Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an erection and similar states when hard-on is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile disfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory erection, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual soundness is an substantial part of a man’s life, no matter his age etc.
This is kind of off topic, but I think you may like this documentary.

Thank you for sex week. It was interesting to see the different opinions about sex.
I did see that doc, man.
I wept like a baby. Thanks for following the week.
The only think I didn’t learn that I wanted to was the location of the nice, single, Christian guys in the world. I’m pretty sure they’re being kept in a silo somewhere.
Seriously though, this was a great service you brought to the Christian community. A lot of people were reading, even if they didn’t partake in discussions.
“If you love God and you love people, I’m on your side.”
Beautiful. Thanks for that.
I’m the one that left the first comment. I’m not sure why it was signed as anonymous, but whatever. Anyways, I’m glad you liked it. 🙂
I think it would be interesting for you to tackle other controversial topics like sex in the future!
It has been interesting to read your blog this week.
It is so sad in today’s society how people don’t like to talk about sex. My husband and I are youth leaders and we have told our kids in our youth group that they need to wait till marriage. We have parents that are upset at us because we have told the kids this and are changing the ages my husband and I are ministering to because their kids do not need to hear about sex in 6th grade.
Like I said we don’t discuss sex in major details so I find it sad that these parents are going to shelter their children and they are going to have problems.
on one of my “future” to do lists is to write a book about sex related stuff for christians (ofcourse co-relating it to scripture…BUT i NEED a husband first to prove certain theories) LOL. everytime i’d tell people about that book…everybody thought i was INSANE…i would tell people at my church & they thought i was CRAZY.
this week..i saw the response of people especially christians on your blog & saw that talking about this in a healthy spiritual manner is REALLY needed in church as well as in society. thanks for letting me know that i’m not the only crazy one out there.
MPT:
I haven’t been a part of this topic all week. In fact,I didn’t come into this conversation until this last day.
It is brave to talk about sexuality. It is bold to talk about sex in a frank,honest way. I linked to your blog on my Facebook and thought twice about it because my pastor and my church friends are on Facebook.
I think there are things about pornography, masturbation, premarital intimacy, homosexuality (and all of it’s variants) that need to be brought into the light. As long as these subjects are kept in the dark, people will feel the need to follow them there.
Why can’t so many Christians be honest with themselves, their families, their church about how they view sexuality?
“If you love God and you love people, I’m on your side.”
Thanks, man.
I know I gave you a bit of a hard time on the bit about pleasing your husband, but this was very sweet and appreciated.
I was asking a friend of mine just the other day why the church seemed more worried about weather or not I was getting laid than how I treated the fatherless and the widows. The comment about loving God and loving people rings so true.
Thank you for wrapping this up with so much love.
MPT, this final wrap-up brought tears to my eyes. The compassion and love that you brought to this “hot-button” topic is exactly the way I pray that the church in general will learn to handle it. I admit I was probably one who made you wanna pull (whats left of) your hair out at times this week (bwahaha!)…but I just wanna say that I hope you & your readers will know that my heart is well-intentioned. It’s my desire for we older, divorced women to find freedom in who we are in Christ just as much as anybody, without being pushed aside, as we so often are. That’s my heart, and it made me cry to see that you totally “get” so many of our hearts (from what you said in this final video).
Blessings to you & your lovely family!
thanks for letting me participate in this picnic! I had a blast and can’t wait until next time 🙂
Thank you for this week!!!!

I’ve been reminded that intercourse (both physical/sexual and verbal/mental) is best when bathed in grace, mercy, and a mutual love. It’s been a great ride! Thanks for reminding us that hitting that G(race)-spot feels really good. :^)
Great stuff and it inspired me to write this:

What about when he’s not in the mood? It happens to us…a lot…
It’s so confusing and the opposite of the stereotype.
you may not have shared “that much”…but you have shared is a heck of a lot more than what most are accustomed to. believe it or not.
its been a great week, matthew.
thank you!
Strong work this week, Matthew.
And on a personal note, as someone whose own story certainly turned out a little differently than she expected when she said I do, I really appreciate you.
Not just this week, but all the time. Your honesty and humility creates a safe space, fresh air. I’m sure that this is one of the things your ‘real life’ friends appreciate as well.
And again, strong work.
I find it interesting that society is perfectly ok with talking about single sex. How many, how often, how great. But the second a ring goes on the finger, it’s taboo to discuss.
I think that keeping the marriage bed sacred is one thing, but never discussing it ever gives the impression to our kids that the only people having great sex are single.
It shocks me to read that so many think people don’t talk about sex enough. Maybe it’s because I live in California! You have treated this topic with humor, grace, transparency, just the way we oughta DO sex. GREAT!
I wanted to say that One Tree Hill has a term that they use to refer to masturbation (can’t believe I typed that word lol). They call it Brooking yourself. That is because one one episode Brook and Lucas were doing a let’s not have sex phase in their relationship. They were with their friends at a cabin for the weekend and she and Lucas got all steamy, but could not get their groove thang on lol So Brook decided to go have some alone time where she was caught by Rachel brooking herself lol
