Successful
sexuality begins long before the first sexual encounter occurs. It begins
with understanding, at a very young age, the principles upon which relationships
must be built if they are to bring about that happiness, peace, and contentment
we all are searching for. Educating the young as to the mechanics of bodily
makeup and functions pertaining to puberty, reproduction, and those things
making up sexual activity are attended to by several agencies including
parents, schools, clergy, in healthy ways; peers, those who exploit, and
the media in very unhealthy ways often portraying sex as a frivolous activity
to be enjoyed by all at any given time. To achieve successful sexuality, you must first be committed to remain abstinent until you have built a long-term trust relationship with, and are married to, a partner of the opposite sex who shares your same value system and commitment. In other words, you want to marry your best friend with whom you are like-minded, equally yoked, and live joyfully together. To remain abstinent until marriage almost always takes a personal commitment to God, who has declared that sex outside the marriage partnership is forbidden. Achieving Successful Sexuality is for those who recognize God in their lives. Parents can use it to as a tool to teach their preadolescents and teens or the young people can read it for themselves. |
