I’m asking because of this…
One of my favorite verses in the Bible is “I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him.” (Ecclesiastes 3:14-NKJV) That said, when I read about *how sex was introduced in the Bible*, I always dig the fact that when the male and female bodies came together in covenant, there were no “additives” needed: “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.” (Genesis 2:24-25-NKJV)
For some reason, I don’t envision God saying, “You’ll become one flesh with the help of some electronic toys.” And being that electricity has not existed since the beginning of mankind, *but sex has* and people seemed to have enjoyed the act *just fine* before a vibrator’s assistance, when I read the following, I was curious about something:
“Women as well as men have become increasingly comfortable with electronic devices in the bedroom. A survey released in November 2011 showed that 50 percent of Americans reported using vibrators, and 70 percent of men said that they were comfortable with the electronic device. The same survey showed that the majority of participants agreed or strongly agreed with the statement ‘[vibrators are a] healthy part of many women’s sex lives.’”
For the married folks, my question is this: Is it a *healthy* part or is it a band-aid on a greater issue? Is it an assistance tool or a crutch? If you’re trying to get close to someone and there are “things” in the way, is that helping *true intimacy* or hindering it?
And for the singles out here (cause there are *a lot of singles that use them*), “Do you believe that sex with a vibrator is a way to remain sexually pure? Why or why not?”
Sound off…
