• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hey all,

For sometime now I have been interested in the topic of Christian Sexuality. What the bible says, how it affects us, what is good what is bad etc. But I am finding it difficult to find a book that is just down to earth. I find that most books I have found are "self-help" books. Like, "If you have a problem, here's what the bible says...blahblahblah". I'm looking for something that says "This is where the bible stands". I'm looking for a well written book or podcast or anything that says, This is Sexuality in the context of the Christian. I want something that is Candid and honest. I have found it extremely difficult to track down books that address topics like fetishes and different "sexual practices" that are not widely accepted. I guess what I'm looking for is anything that gives candid discussion on everything from the basic to the taboo. I'm sure I can find stuff written by non-christian authors that is candid and "true" but I always find it to be "perverted" and twisted in some ways. It always has a slant....

Sorry for the long paragraph. If you have any suggestions please let me know :) I'm really just searching for knowledge. I don't know why this topic interests me so much right now, but I have an inkling that It may come in handy in the future.

Most books will be about sex from a biblical perspective. A subject such as fetishes probably would be seen as a specialist issue confined to therapists rather than the general public.

I can recommend some titles on Sex and biblical teaching,but I'm not sure they will be what you are looking for in those specific areas.

'Sheet Music' by Kevin Leman is a good, down to earth basic book, though probably not nearly as extensive as what you're asking for.

themarriagebed(dot)com is a Christian website/discussion forum where it seems that nothing is inherently taboo, but anything discusssed is measured against and scrutinized by Scripture. I think you'd find it very interesting.
