Lauren Green is a “religion correspondent” for Fox News. (Yeah, religion is nice–as long as it is relegated to its proper religious area.)
She does a pretty good job most of the time. This column, citing Dawn Eden, is especially good.
We are built for intimate, loving relationships. Our whole being cries out for it. That’s why the sexual drive is so strong. But something so strong needs an equally strong boundary, so that it doesn’t risk getting out of control and being used in ways that are dangerous or damaging. You wouldn’t put a 500-pound lion in a playpen and expect it to be safely contained. It is the same with sex.
