God's Fencepost: Sex, Sex and More Sex!

I love sex.  I always have.  Its raw, carnal, biological draw is coded somewhere deep within my DNA.  I can’t help it – I’m a slave to masculinity and the sweet surrender of passion is my muse.  Chocolate be damned, I’ll take my untamed man every day of the week. . .and I’m positive that I’m not the only good Christian girl who feels this way.

Oooo – this may get uncomfortable for a few of you, but stay with me.

Like many, my religious upbringing ran contrary to my innate sexual instincts.  I was raised in a Southern Baptist church that unwaveringly subscribed to the tenets of “no sex before marriage.”  We were so resolute, in fact, that alternative education (i.e. birth control, biology and condoms) was not only absent from the discussion, but labeled as “evil.”  Our doctrine even went as far as to say that I would be nailing Jesus to the cross again and again if ever I were to succumb to the “cravings of my flesh.”  It was a confusing education, to say the least. 

So did it work?  Was I virgin when I walked down the aisle? 

Cavemen Are Sexy

Our world is made of men. . .and of cavemen.

There is something stone-cold sexy about a man who is unapologetically settled in his own masculinity; a man who prefers Levi’s to Gucci and has never stepped foot into a nail salon.  This Fourth of July, I want to savor my freedom of speech by giving a politically incorrect shout out to all of the men out there who can change their own tires.  The cavemen of our society.

Now before you start typing up anti-discrimination emails, let me save you some time by admitting to my crime.  If biologically lusting after the cavemen in our culture is considered bigotry, then so be it -  I am shamelessly sexist.

Here’s my reasoning:

Operation: Sexy Lent

The divorce rate in America currently hovers between 45-50% (depending on your source); an alarming statistic on many levels.  More disturbing, however, is that according to a recent study by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers – 1 out of 5 couples cite Facebook as a contributing factor in the demise of their marriage.

Facebook?  Really?  OK – we need an intervention. . .or a revolution.

Forgive my candor, but using Facebook as a scapegoat in a divorce proceeding is asinine.  I understand that provocative photos and inappropriate conversations “accidentally” found on the social network is a lawyers dream – but if your marriage crashes every time you log in, your matrimonial wound runs deeper than a status update.
