		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a round-up of some recent and not-so-recent articles I&#8217;ve found thought provoking! Shirin Sadeghi talks about the myth of female virginity. Rabbi Shmuley makes a case for why condoms are killing sex. These kind of statistics are unfortunately not at all surprising, given my own sex ed experience! And a bit more on the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sexandfaith.wordpress.com&amp;blog=14986439&amp;post=129&amp;subd=sexandfaith&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Rachelle and I got to know each other last summer when she invited the Universe to find a few more people who needed a soultribe and wanted to spend a weekend away together. The Universe found me.

		<description><![CDATA[Growing up I often heard about how obsessed &#8220;the world&#8221; was with sex and how unhealthy this was. Just think of all the movies, TV shows, song lyrics and commercials that feature gratuitous sexual imagery. I&#8217;m not the only one who&#8217;s noticed that Christians are as unhealthily obsessed with sex as everyone else.

		<description><![CDATA[The Christian attitude toward sex can probably summed up best in the word: ambivalent. Ambivalent means to have mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about something or someone. Christianity has nothing if not mixed feelings and contradictory ideas about sex. So where did all the confusion come from? Naturally, there&#8217;s no one particular influence we can [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sexandfaith.wordpress.com&amp;blog=14986439&amp;post=92&amp;subd=sexandfaith&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Erika and I went to college together where we both experienced and watched many other young Christian women experience a lack of open, honest conversation about sex and sexuality. We encountered a huge gap between the rhetoric of chapel speakers and relationship seminars and the lived reality of our own often complex and confusing experiences.

		<description><![CDATA[Growing up, one of the messages I received about relationships, directly or indirectly, from numerous books and chapel speakers was that a man&#8217;s greatest need was sex and a woman&#8217;s greatest need was emotional security and support. Sound familiar? These messages were purportedly trying to help each sex understand the other, so that they could [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sexandfaith.wordpress.com&amp;blog=14986439&amp;post=75&amp;subd=sexandfaith&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

We filled out the obligatory anatomical charts and if we didn&#8217;t already know where babies came from, they let us know. That was about the sum total, other than the fairly regular chapel sessions about waiting until marriage.

We love talking about what makes us human, especially the parts that are difficult to pin down, like spiritually and sexuality.
