Notes

Romantic Attention - Sexual Satisfaction – Love Unfailing

Apologized for religion’s misrepresentation

Admitted the truth of humanities misuse

Jesus came to restore all of life, which includes romance, sex, and love.

Sex: Stimulation for sexual gratification that may include an orgasm for one or both people.

Sex is casual because it’s just a physical act, like eating a meal?

For casual sex to exist: Sex must be disconnected from impacting us: Emotionally, Physically, Financially and Spiritually

Neuro-science Facts: Vasopressin, Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin

“oxytocin can create a sense of stability and intimacy in relationships – even if that stability and intimacy is only in your head. When you are not a partner who brings a sense of loving comfort and connection, feelings of anxiety and stress tend to increase” Carla Manly, Clinical Psychologist –Elite Daily

“Sex, including casual sex, causes the brain to release oxytocin, which makes us feel more emotionally tied to a person. Basically, your biologically wired to attach to any sexual partners, so it’s not only common, it’s natural.” Women’s Health

“Love and sexual arousal are typically (by most studies) indistinguishable in the brain,” Dr Nicole Prause: Licensed psychologist & neuroscientist PsychCentral

“As we predicted, those who engaged in more hookups had greater psychological distress. College students who recently engaged in casual sex reported lower levels of self-esteem, life satisfaction…” Psychology Today – Miami University

“…and happiness compared to those who had not had casual sex in the past month. And students who had engaged in hookups had higher distress scores as indicated by levels of depression and anxiety.” Psychology Today – Miami University

“Marriage economist Betsy Stevenson and Justin Wolfers speculate that while men enjoy the spoils of the sexual revolution – they are (scientifically, statistically) far less impacted by the decline of traditional family and rising economic inequality.” Vox 2019

Calling it “casual sex” won’t stop the natural results sex is designed to have.

But at the beginning of creation God made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. Mark 10:6-9

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate. Mark 10:6-9

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! 1 Corinthians 6:15-18

Do you not know that the one who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “the two will become one flesh.” But whoever is united with the Lord, is one with him in spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:15-18

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 1 Corinthians 6:15-18

Sex Sacred Design: Unbreakable Promise – Unite in Oneness – Unique Gift

Sex is so amazing and powerful, God requires boundaries so we don’t hurt ourselves and others.
