[QUOTE="aiki, post: 59549999, member: 178791"] And who decides what is repressed and what isn't? What's the standard here? Really? Do you have any hard research to back this up? LOL! I don't think so! I doubt there is a more sex-saturated culture than the American one! I don't know about birth-control being sinful, but the Bible does say that the the man whose "quiver is full" (that is, he has many children) is blessed. God gives children, not as a curse or burden, but as a blessing. I've also never heard any pastor teach that our bodies ought to be covered up [I]at all times[/I]. It's really awkward taking a shower when you're fully clothed, y'know? In any case, I don't think traipsing around the beach in a thong bikini or a bulging speedo is doing much to foster modesty and purity and holiness. THey probably don't, either! So? I think this effort to be chaste and pure is a good one. Hey, that they don't enter into the corrupt sexual flow of the culture doesn't make them crazy, just strong and admirable. You think they are prudish but perhaps they think you are promiscuous. I'd take a prudish mate over a promiscuous one any day! And I did! Selah. [/QUOTE]
