Is a sexual activity wrong if it was learned from a sinful source? Check out the show notes here for more details and links.

The question we're answering today is:

My wife and I have a very active sex life. We enjoy a nice variety of activities and positions. Our frequency is definitely on the higher side, so I really have no complaints.

We have used porn, either separately or together, for much of our relationship and are working on that issue. I understand the problems with that and the implications. That is not what this is about.

Many of the things we do sexually have been learned and implemented from watching or reading porn. We have discovered many very enjoyable activities from that area of our lives together.

So, here is the question. Does a sexual activity become wrong or sinful if it was introduced from a sinful source? I feel that as long as the activity involves a man and woman married to each other, that activity becomes blessed in the marriage bed. I know others who don't feel the same way. My wife is not completely sure. I'm just wondering what your thoughts are.

Are sexual fantasies okay for Christians? Does it matter what the fantasy is? If it's only in your mind, does that make it okay? Check out the show notes here for more details and links.

The question we're answering today is:

My wife and I have had a reasonably active sex life for most of our relationship. There have been ups and downs of course, but for the most part, we really have no complaints that way.

One part of that sex life that has been around since very early on is fantasy. We both, me somewhat more than her, enjoy and get very aroused by telling each other different fantasies. The ones that are the most effective and "fun" are ones that involve other people, and even more, same-sex activity. She gets extremely aroused and has very intense orgasms when I tell her about me having sex with another man, vice versa when she tells me about having sex with another woman. Neither of these has ever actually happened, it's strictly fantasy, and neither of us actually has a desire to fulfill these fantasies, but they continue to be part of our sex life.

I don't feel guilt or shame about this at all as I feel it's only in the fantasy realm. She is all over the map. Sometimes she feels intense guilt and shame, sometimes she is ok with it. Sometimes, she tries hard to not go there, and other times she asks me to take her there. It's quite confusing for both of us.

I just want to get some feedback and perspective on this in an open, Christian forum. I'm quite certain that we are not the only couple that has this "problem" if you would call it that.

Is it okay to remarry after divorce? Check out the show notes here for more details and all the verses.

What does Matthew 5:32 mean when it says:
But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery. - Matthew 5:32 NKJV

Is it as clear-cut as it seems? I don't think so, and in this episode, I'll dig into why based on what the rest of the Bible has to say about the topic.

Jan 2020 Questions - Nudists, exhibitionism, male lingerie, pet play, ANR and more. Check out the show notes here for more details and links.

Today we’re going to be answering some questions about nudism, exhibitionism, male lingerie, pet play, Romans 13:14, ANR, and a few more things from our anonymous Have A Question page. A special thanks to all our supporters who share their thoughts, opinions and experiences in our forum.

Without further ado, here are the questions from last month:

Is Nudism a sin? If you're a Christian, is it inappropriate to be naked outside of one’s intimacy? Are naked hiking and or swimming ok?

I’ve been struggling with the idea of a Christian nudist for a while. To be honest, I don’t have a hard stance on it. But here’s where I am right now:

I don’t believe nudism is a sin. Adam and Eve were created naked before sin entered the world. So, being naked isn’t sinful. However, I believe there is a time and place for everything, and the problem is that not everyone agrees on what those times and places are.

If everyone agreed that nudity wasn’t inappropriate at any time and everyone went naked anytime that the weather or activities permitted, then we likely wouldn’t have an issue.
