Let's Talk About Sex in Church

Full article here:
[Pastor Ted Roberts and his wife, Diane,]... host a series of provocative discussions they call "Sexy Christians," where they talk not about the sins of sex, but its joys... In sermons and special seminars, pastors are tackling topics ranging from how to keep passion in a long-term relationship to how to recover from porn and sex addiction. A new billboard in New Jersey advertising the Web site Mysexlifestinks.com is not an ad for an online chat group, but for the Discovery Church, where Pastor Randy Smith hosts weekly discussion groups. "Sex was invented by God for us to use and to enjoy," Smith said... The Robertses, who have been married for 38 years, say God never intended sex to be sinful. But for many couples, talking about sex is steeped in shame.
Good luck to these guys, they are trying to climb a very steep hill. This is a culture that totally freaked out when what appeared like could be, maybe, a resemblance of a nipple on TV (I'm talking about the Janet Jackson fiasco.) Talk about any part of our anatomy and they run for the hills in shame.

But hey, I give these pastors credit for trying. It can't hurt.
