SEX

This is a very ambitious paper as it tries to encapsulate a kind of histroy of sex, or of the reresentations of sex. But it think this is a problem because it uses the bible as its reference for early sexual culture. But the bible is generally very negative about sex. There are very many ancient and contemporary cultures that do not hate sex and are very expressive about it. I don't think that the history of sex is just a linear progression toward more and more liberal expression as this paper makes it out to be.

I loved this essay. It had some strong points, it evaluated all sides of the story, had a strong intro and conclusion. Nice...

It a very nice essay I like it but i would like to know what verses the citings are from. Other than that it brings up some good points.

You made some statements of the bible. But the fact is, you should have read more into it. Otherwise, you would not have written this essay. You used 2 verses, out of context, and from the old testament. You should have tried to find some of that from the new testament, you wouldn't have found anything but things banning premarital sex. And the slave part has nothing to do with it. Who in most cultures has a real slave? Servants yes, but legal slaves? Just a few.


Who cares if he has already asked you to marry him, people break up, and now you have to explain to your real husband what you did. It leaves a life long affect that isn't always good.

when you quoted the rock churches website they said that there is nothing wrong with the feelings we feel indeed we couldnt stop them if we wanted to,

i disagree, there is such a thing as self control

you quoted many people, websites, etc, but those quotes really did not make any sense, basicly your argument was: "look! if you want to have sex before marriege, forget the fact you disshonaring your parents, forget the fact its moraly wrong and give into your temptations, because its the popular thing to do, and besides, you'l never have the backbone to stand up to yourself ever any way!"

thats the feeling that i got from this essay, there were not any really really strong points, and you used the bible out of context, having sex with your slave would have been alright because that slave was under the protection of the head of the household, just like a wife is under the protection of her husband.

Its a well written essay makes a lot of great points. One little problem, in some of the quotes there's a whole lot of '*&%$^" and what not. I can see editing this paper for some teachers but that should be up to thoose of us who may be citing it. Knowing what was censored would be a great help.

i agree with CCmustangs as well.

I agree with "ccmustangs2001" If you are going to site something, especially from the Bible, you need to read from the new and old testement in order to get a broad understanding. The bible will always advise you to look to another verse for better understanding. The other thing is your paragraph structure is wrong. you have sentences starting in one paragragh and ending in another. The fact of the matter is, people are going to do what they want to do as far as sex is concerned, however, the bible does not condone this type of behavior.

c0lrisk, I think that the fact sentences start in one paragraph and finish in another is more due to the formatting of cheathouse than to the actual structure of the essay.


This is a great essay - and it is so refreshing to find an essay on this site stating reasons why pre-marital sex can be loving and healthy. The only advice I have is to say more about safe sex, as this is one of the main arguments against pre-marital sex. Also what mistahwoof said about examples from other cultures who have a healthier attitude towards sex is a good point.


For the people who commented against this essay I think that in order to be taken seriously you need to distance yourselves and your opinions from the bible. Christianity, as with all religions, is a matter of opinion, and not all people have the same opinions. This is a good objective essay. If you are going to comment on it, please comment on it objectively.
