ESSAY 2
THE "MAXIMUM SEX-PLEASURE" MYTH
Many believe that promiscuous sex is the way to maximum
pleasure. We are sold this bill of goods from TV, pulp
magazines, "sophisticated" slick magazines, professionals and
peers.
But what is the truth?
First, let us examine the consequences of following a
life of promiscuous sex. There is the constant threat of
contracting STD. Some diseases like HIV are incurable. HIV
I and HIV II probably will end in a slow, painful death.
If pregnancy results, then there is a chance of the baby
being infected.
If pregnancy occurs, and abortion is elected, several
things can happen. If either the father or mother believe
that abortion is murder, guilt will result. It must be noted
that moral values can be held on an unconscious level and
guilt will result from a violated conscience. Also, if there
is ANY QUESTION about abortion being wrong, and the mother
murders her unborn baby, guilt will result. A psychiatrist
at the Kansas state mental hospital related to me about
twenty-five years ago that guilt is the worse pain a human
being can experience. There is the possibility of damage
to the woman's reproductive organs. A friend sustained
physical damage from an abortion--she is now a pro-life
activist.
Fear is the ever-present companion of the sexually
active person. There is fear of STD. There is the fear of
pregnancy. There is the fear of being discovered. There is
the fear of being hurt or killed by a jealous spouse or
family member.
If a spouse had a life of premarital sex, a seed of
doubt will be planted: "Since my spouse was promiscuous
before marriage, will he or she change now that we are
married?" There also will be comparisons of the spouse
with former partners. Or, one spouse will feel as though
he were competing with former partners.
On the other hand, if a couple have saved themselves for
a lifetime mate, the story is different. Faithfulness
cancels fear. They can enjoy each other as total persons.
This includes long-term better sex!
