Sex for reproduction only?

Erotic pleasure came from the brilliant, creative, and pure mind of a holy God. God created us for his pleasure, and he created sex for our pleasure. Some guilty soul with a twisted religious mind has said that sex is only for procreation and not for pleasure. If that were the case, what was God’s purpose when he installed this powerful drive in his creation? Surely he could have made reproduction a lot less complicated. With no pleasure or passion involved, there would never be any fornication, unwed mothers, or broken marriages. When a couple wanted children, they could have burdened themselves to perform some dull fertilization ritual with cold deliberation and forethought.

It is common among some Amish and plain people to believe that sex is for the purpose of reproduction only. I never will forget the time one old fellow cornered me and warned against sex other than to produce children. He proudly testified that he had dutifully abstained after his wife had passed the age of child bearing. I had previously wondered why they fought so vigorously. He was obviously carrying a load or dumping it where he shouldn’t—which left him anything but mellow.

Needless to say, I laughed at his ridiculous belief and bragged about my ongoing abilities. I later discovered that their marriage was “forced” due to her pregnancy. His doctrine was supported by his guilt.

Many people seem to think that God indeed invented the tools, but the devil made them fun. Someone said it this way: “God made us English, but the devil made us French.”

God has seen fit to inspire eight whole chapters of erotic desire and fulfillment for his people to read, yet he included nothing in this song about having children. Their minds were on personal pleasure—smelling, touching, and tasting one another!

Sex is no more sinful than is talking. Sure, the tongue is a world of iniquity, setting on fire the course of nature, and who can tame it? which is simply to draw our attention to the misuse of a thing, not to its inherent nature.
