Funny man...
Sex is a serious issue. And its not something to take lightly. The reason we have so many sexually transmitted diseases and the AIDs pandemic is because of the world's casual approach to sex. The reason we have the highest abortion rate ever, is beacause of the world's casual approach to sex and babies, little humans become an inconvenience. Fact.
I don't want to get too melodramatic, but it seems to me like the world is losing its soul and values are pouring down the drain left, right and centre... the world has become a "ME CENTRED" universe whereby everyone puts their own wants, needs and desires before others - even above a person's right to live - the unborn child gets no say do they...
People seem to want things their way, and according to their schedule and damn anyone who gets in the way. They want pleasure and no responsibility. Its pure selfishness ultimately. This is the world we live in people and it makes me sad.
And it's the same with sex. People put their own needs, wants and desires first. It's a case of getting your pleasure, having a great time and the consequences are rarely even considered... some people think its worth the risk.
Once upon a time it was frowned upon to sleep with someone outside of marriage. You would become a social outcast if you engaged in such activities... nowadays, it's just "what people do". That shows how far humanity has fallen if you ask me - it no longer shocks people.
We sing love songs the world over about 2 becoming 1. It's a classic saying. Actually, this is a biblical and Christ centred definition of marriage and the joining of 2 souls together through sex. A man and a woman becoming spiritually tied to each other through the act of sex that is... that's not spoken about very much these days either. No-one considers the spiritual consequences of what they're doing... truth is, each time you sleep with someone its more than just fun... there's a whole spiritual dynamic to it that you've not even considered.
BUT, its my deep conviction that all of us, young and old can and should be in pursuit of love, family and putting others first. Relationships HAVE to come first and sex second or third or fourth, you get the idea. I do believe that's the way God planned it from the start ladies and gentlemen. Marriage is wonderful and sex is like the jewel in that wonderful crown...
If sex is more important to you than committing to someone, you will no doubt have a lot of fun and you will no doubt enjoy yourselves. But you've no idea how much hurt and pain you could be storing up for you and your sleeping partner, and the statistics prove that your relationship is more than likely to fail.
And don't think that Burty is some old fuddy duddy who's having a winge either... I've only just turned 28 people! I got married at 23. And I waited until I got married before I had sex for the first time - imagine how happy my wife-to-be was when she walked down the aisle in front of 250 people, knowing that no-one else had ever been with me and that I had saved everything just for her!!! What a privilege.
And now on December 8th, I'm expecting my first child. She will be called Emily Grace Burt. The pregnancy was planned and the child is already loved by both of us. We both have stable jobs, a house and are looking forward to a great future together as a family.
Think about it carefully people.
Lots of love. xXx Burty xXx
