Conversations about sex and God rarely take place together. Somehow we have separated our creator from one of the most powerful experiences He made for us. Yet God has a lots to say about our sexuality and any hard topic that the world challenges us with.

I have taught sex classes to Christian men and women for over 6 years. I have also written pretty detailed instruction articles on the blog for everything from oral sex, to frenulum orgasm, to how to enjoy intercourse. Along the way I have wrestled with what topics I should address and what felt like too much. At what point would I lose my audience because I wanted to educate and provide answers? Where is the line between respectful instruction and graphic detail? How do I vulnerably share the struggles and triumphs of working on my own sex life without letting people into my bedroom?

Though you may never teach sex classes, I believe that only ways Christians can take sex back from the world, is by talking about sex.
