Download or read book Premarital Sex in America written by Mark Regnerus and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-10 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period of young adulthood, from ages 18 to 23, is popularly considered the most sexualized in life. But is it true? What do we really know about the sexual lives of young people today? Premarital Sex in America combines illuminating personal stories and comprehensive research surveys to provide the fullest portrait of heterosexuality among young adults ever produced. Mark Regnerus and Jeremy Uecker draw upon a wealth of survey data as well as scores of in-depth interviews with young adults from around the country, both in and out of college. Digging underneath stereotypes and unexamined assumptions, the authors offer compelling--and often surprising--answers to such questions as: How do the emotional aspects of sexual relations differ between young men and women? What role do political orientations play in their sexual relations? How have online dating and social networking sites affected the relationships of emerging adults? Why are young people today waiting so much longer to marry? How prevalent are nontraditional forms of sex, and what do people think of them? To better understand what drives the sexual behaviors of emerging adults, Regnerus and Uecker pay special attention to two important concepts: sexual scripts, the unwritten and often unconscious rules that guide sexual behavior and attitudes; and sexual economics, a theory which suggests that the relative scarcity of men on college campuses contributes to the "hookup" culture by allowing men to diminish their level of commitment and thereby lower the "price" they have to "pay" for sex. For anyone wishing to understand how sexual relations between young adults have changed and are changing, Premarital Sex in America will serve as a touchstone for years to come.

Download or read book After the Revolution written by David J. Ayers and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equipping the church to recover from sexual confusion In After the Revolution, David J. Ayers provides the Christian heirs of the sexual revolution a resource to understand their challenges and social context to find a way forward. Drawing on social sciences and history, Ayers traces recent worldview shifts in North America and Europe. The historic Christian understanding of sex and marriage has been supplanted. And sexual confusion has infiltrated the church, especially influencing younger Christians. The church can uniquely and compassionately support sexual faithfulness and flourishing, but we need to reject formulas, surefire methods, and judgmentalism. Instead, we must recover a positive vision for Christian sexuality, singleness, and marriage that is firmly grounded in God's word.
Download or read book Sex Is NOT a Sin written by and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SOMEBODY'S Not Telling You the Truth!Whether you are a Christian or not... religious or not, you're going to be intrigued by this discovery.Does God really consider premarital sex a sin? How about prostitution? Most... No, all "Christians" believe that sex before marriage is a sin and that all prostitution is an abomination in the sight of God. But is that what God really says in scripture?Truth is... the truth has been cloaked by false religious doctrines based on critical flaws in the translations of certain words, perhaps intentionally, changing the meaning of specific pieces of scripture within the historical context it was written. What this creates is a gross misunderstanding of what the original intent of the writers was with regards to this topic. It's as if the religious elites have launched a campaign of disinformation designed to pull the wool over your eyes... But why?The outcome is condemnation and guilt for anyone who engages in premarital sex... or even thinks about it. But none of that is Biblically correct! This book proves it.Written by a Christian of more than 35 years who was challenged to expose the truth based on a failed relationship with his fianc�e, in which some Christian associates openly passed judgement that his relationship wasn't blessed due to premarital sex.Having discovered the truth long ago but never really studying it, he was forced to defend himself against a barrage of accusations based on scripture thrown at him by those indoctrinated in the religion of sexual immorality: Scripture he knew was out of context with the wrong translations. Unfortunately, he lost that battle because he couldn't "show himself approved." This led to a 4-month long journey into rediscovering the truth and exposing the lies perpetrated on him and the rest of the world.Based on facts that have been hidden from the public for centuries, he reveals what God's real intentions are regarding sex, sex before marriage and prostitution. What you will discover flies in the face of main street religious doctrine that premarital sex is a sin, all prostitution is a sin and that anyone "lusting" after another to desire that person is adultery. Whether you are a Christian or not, you will feel liberated from this distorted and false doctrine of sexual immorality and uncover what God truly has to say about those things which are really sexually immoral and why.This book is for anyone who is justly interested in the truth on this taboo. It will empower you and inspire you. This book in not a condemnation of Christianity and instead shows that it is "religion," not Christianity that is the issue.This book doesn't promote prostitution nor encourage sex before marriage, especially for young adults. It's an exploration of the truth that has been hidden for too long.

Download or read book Chasing Love written by Sean McDowell and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The music we listen to, the movies we watch—they're all telling us to keep chasing love, and that we'll finally be happy when we find it. But is love really all we need? The love that the world tells us to pursue is all about self, about following your heart’s desires. But what is the Christian worldview on love? When we follow Jesus, we realize that he invites us to reorient the focus of our lives, so instead of chasing love primarily for our own happiness, we are first and foremost to give love—to God and to others. In Chasing Love, Sean McDowell will invite readers into Jesus’ radical, upside-down approach to love, and in doing so, he’ll answer some of the toughest questions we’re asking about love today: How does Jesus speak to singleness? What does the gospel say about LGBTQ issues? Can sexual sin truly be forgiven? What if I’m not happy in my marriage?

Download or read book The Purity Myth written by Jessica Valenti and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is obsessed with virginity - from the media to schools to government agencies. This panic is ensuring that young women's ability to be moral agents is absolutely dependent on their sexuality. Jessica Valenti, executive editor of Feministing.com and author of Full Frontal Feminism and Yes Means Yes, addresses this poignant issue in her latest book, The Purity Myth. Valenti argues that the country's intense focus on chastity is extremely damaging to young women. Through in depth analysis of cultural stereotypes and media messages, Valenti reveals that powerful messages - ranging from abstinence curriculum to ''Girls Gone Wild'' commercials - place a young woman's worth entirely on her sexuality. Morals are therefore linked purely to sexual behavior, as opposed to values like honesty, kindness, and altruism. Valenti approaches the topic head-on, shedding light on chastity in a historical context, abstinence-only education, pornography, and public punishments for those who dare to have sex, among other critical issues. She also offers solutions that pave the way for a future without a damaging emphasis on virginity, including a call to rethink male sexuality and reframing the idea of ''losing it.'' With Valenti's usual balance of intelligence and wit, The Purity Myth presents a powerful and revolutionary argument that girls and women, even in this day and age, are overly valued for their sexuality, and that this needs to stop.
Download or read book Good Christian Sex written by Bromleigh McCleneghan and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving beyond the deep-seated cultural feelings of shame that have long fueled the conflict between Christianity and sex—and the belief that there is only one right and valid way to practice one’s sexuality—this renowned University of Chicago pastor uses enlightening personal stories and examples from theology to show how sex is powerful and holy. For years, Christians have been told to adhere to one singular path when it comes to sex: abstinence and purity. Yet this limited focus ignores the reality that people’s sexual and romantic lives differ widely, even among those who consider themselves devout believers. Church leaders have often refused to address the topic—or have preached in ways that are harmful to the emotional and spiritual growth of the faithful in the pews. Pastor McCleneghan is determined to reshape the issue—and fundamentally transcend this disconnect between sexuality and spirituality that has left many Christians feeling guilty and sinful. Written in her measured, non-judgmental voice, Good Christian Sex combines humorous personal anecdotes with theological research to transform how Christians think and talk about this basic human need, offering a new understanding that reconciles human love and religious faith. Breaking with outdated conventions, McCleneghan explains how the Bible and Christian tradition inform our beliefs about desire, pleasure, nudity, fidelity, premarital sex, and the variety of sexual practices, and encourages Christians to talk about their bodies, their sensuality, and their longings in a frank, positive, and realistic way. Warm, insightful, and honest, Good Christian Sex is a message of hope, that at last lifts the veil of shame felt by many religious people.
