A subject I would like to write about is sexuality (and relationships) in the context of the Great Awakening, but it comes too close to crossing a line in terms of privacy of myself and others. A lot of stories and lessons. Deep down I know that sex is meant to be a stable sacred union, and my own life doesn’t model that. The spiritual effects of sleeping around are problematic, but the denouncement of those who are blessed with simple straight lives is uncaring and unhelpful. My relationships with women have been difficult, and men dangerous. We are not all the same. There are struggles and compromises. Being given a body that plays beautiful pleasure harmonies when rubbed against another implies making use of that gift; neglecting the offer strikes me as a rejection of something wonderful. You only need to mention homosexuality and the ultra-conservatives judge and rant; but equally try challenging amoral promiscuity and gender identity, and you get vicious secular religiosity.
Receptors and synapses,
It's different for females than it is for males honestly. Women won't like this topic because it will seem 'unfair' to them. Men can lay with many women and it change nothing within them, chemically speaking. Guys have all the synapses so getting attached to one woman is different for them. Women have all the receptors meaning everything changes for us for that one man, which is why sex is held in such sacred regard. Our bodies quite literally change during copulation to match our partners chemical makeup perfectly. So when women sleep with multiple men, it messes up those chemicals, sends them off balance and makes it harder for them to bond to just one man.
