    The document discusses different views on sex from the church, culture, and Bible. The church traditionally viewed sex as only for procreation, while culture sees it as a physical act focused on pleasure. The Bible portrays sex as an intimate act within marriage that unites a couple spiritually and physically. It emphasizes sex should only happen between married couples to avoid immorality and promote intimacy through commitment, acceptance, conversation, and selflessness.

    SONG OF SONGS 5:1
    PRESENTATION TITLE
    Drink your fill, O Lovers!
    1 CORINTHIANS 6
    12 "I have the right to do anything," you say--but not everything is
    beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"--but I will not be
    mastered by anything. 13 You say, "Food for the stomach and the
    stomach for food, and God will destroy them both." The body,
    however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and
    the Lord for the body. 14 By his power God raised the Lord from
    the dead, and he will raise us also. against their own body.
    1 CORINTHIANS 6
    15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ
    himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them
    with a prostitute? Never! 16 Do you not know that he who unites
    himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said,
    "The two will become one flesh." 17 But whoever is united with
    the Lord is one with him in spirit.
    1 CORINTHIANS 6
    18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are
    outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own
    body. 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy
    Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not
    your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with
    your bodies.
    1 CORINTHIANS 7
    1 Now for the matters you wrote about: "It is good for a man not to
    have sexual relations with a woman." 2 But since sexual immorality
    is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own
    wife, and each woman with her own husband. 3 The husband
    should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her
    husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body
    but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not
    have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife.
    1 CORINTHIANS 7
    5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and
    for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come
    together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack
    of self-control. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a command.

    “Sex, as described in the Bible, is a way of saying, I see all of
    your imperfections and I am still completely, exclusively, and
    permanently committed to you. You are naked to me in all ways,
    and I still accept you forever.”
