Since there seems to be a discussion of sexuality going on, I thought I'd find an book that my mother gave me when I was in high school. Well folks, here are some brilliant ideas on sexuality fostered by some Christians.

From Sex from the Inside Out, by Tom Melton with Judy Urschel, published by JTM Press, Englewood, CO. "Tom Melton did his M.A. in Youth Ministry and his Master of Divinity studies at Fuller Theological Seminary."

"For a guy, sex is primarily physical... A woman's sexual response is different. She won't get stimulated physically unless her heart is involved in it."

"A sexual relationship with a guy involves everything she is and how she feels about the guy. She can go through the motions, but unless she's convinced inside that the guy cares about her, her body won't respond physically."

"A guy's body is not an intimate thing to him. That's why guys aren't as modest. In a guy's locker room, a hundred of them will be lined up taking showers and it's no big deal. A girl's locker room usually has individual show stalls. Their bodies are very private for them. Guys walk around nude in locker rooms and think nothing of it. Their bodies are just physical things."

"Girls are as modest with their bodies as guys are with their hearts, because a girl can't share her body without sharing her heart as well."

"A guy gives his heart through what he says and does. ... A girl can also reveal her heart by what she says, but she also gives her heart when she gives her body. It's like a balloon that's filled with feelings... For a guy, the feelings would come out of the mouth of the balloon whereas for a girl, her feelings come out of every pore."

"Most sex outside of marriage is much less enjoyable than what sex was intended to be because it goes only halfway. If you go halfway too many times, you're going to break."

"When you lose your virginity, you start to look at yourself as dirty, as less than a whole person. From there, it's a downward spiral because the next time you're involved in a relationship, you're a little bit harder and your body means a little bit less... and so it keeps spiraling further and further downward."

"Sex outside of marriage is like charging on a credit card. The problem is that the guy enjoys no and rarely pays later. The girl hardly enjoys now, and then she's the one who pays and pays and pays."
