The Old Testament does NOT discourage sexual relationships for one moment. In fact it just puts it into a proper context of a heterosexual marriage, made for the pleasure of its covenant participants, designed by an all-wise Creator. In chapter 5 the father gives advice to his son. The father recognizes that sex is a major temptation in the life of a young man. A legitimate sexual union between a male & female in the form of marriage, is the father's worldview. All other sexual behavior is a threat that misleads those seeking intimate physical relationships.
