Answer 1

Sexuality in Islam is largely described by the Qur'an, Islamic tradition, and religious leaders both past and present as being confined to marital relationships between men and women. While most traditions discourage celibacy, all encourage strict chastity and modesty with regards to any relationships across gender lines, holding forth that intimacy as perceived within Islam -- encompassing a swath of life more broad than strictly sex -- is largely to be reserved for marriage.

While prohibitions against adulterous relationships are strong, permissible sexual relationships are described in Islamic sources as great wells of love and closeness for the couple involved. Specific occasions -- most notably daytime fasting and menstruation -- are times forbidden for intercourse, though not for other ways of touching and being close to one another. Issues such as masturbation and homosexuality are frowned upon or outright forbidden; contraceptive use is permitted, as is abortion, though the latter often with great restriction.

Answer 2

Sex, or more correctly, the act of procreation, is the most God-like thing we can participate in here in this life. God gave life to mankind and through procreation we can do the same. Procreation, including both the sexual part and the child-bearing part, is about as godly as we can be. This is the reason it is emphasized it should be between married (or couples that are bound to each other) and should not be taken lightly. It is a mockery to God to sleep around and mock this power (so people say).

Well - he created it you know.
He created it as a special gift for a married man and woman. And he blesses it mightily in that context.
The world has corrupted the meaning of sex, and here is what the world does not understand apart from God.
My wife and I waited 3 years.. we dated, were closely prepared for our lives but did not have sex. It was very difficult at times.
When we married God blessed us in a mighty way for honoring him.
We never tire of each other, it is frequent and amazing, and beacuse we waited and it means so much to be together we are not interested in other people - if you wait for someone for a long time you really want to be with them, and that feeling lasts.
Because our culture has indulged itself so much people are not interested in this, or think it is silly or stupid, but isn't this what they want? Fulfilling love with one person? It is what God wants for us too but we have to follow his ways.
In this way also a man and a woman's hearts and spirits are deeply bonded - you think my wife doesn't know I am completely commited to her because of this, that we waited? She does, and no one can take that away.
But the bond and the depth of blessing are beyond describing. God loves an enriched sex life between a married man and woman.

Great question.

Answer 4

God created sex for a man and a woman to be shared in the realm of marriage. Sex is a good thing but used only in the right context.

Answer 5

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

All that sexuality that you are referring to is satan making you focus on your flesh and not on God where you focus needs to be. Sex is only for the husband and wife, and not for those who are not married. Those who are not married but have sex anyway are committing fornication.

1 Corinthians 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Answer 6

God loves sex. He created it, after all! Sex is an image of the relationship that God wants for all of us. Read the Song of Solomon. It's a very powerful image of love between God and His Church. DEFINITELY not meaningless!

Answer 7

The correlation is love.
The spiritual significant is you enter into His creative power, His covenant
The intent of conjugal love is the openness to new life. Mess with this covenant and the fruits of this will be misery.
Consider then the state of humanity.

Answer 8

huh? a god will be better than a guru. a guru is nearly a severe priest. a sex avatar will be between a god and a guru (avatar, in case you do not comprehend, is the mortal incarnation of a god)

Answer 9

Sex is the most intimate way to show your love and desire for you husband or wife. Marriage is sanctified by God. Sex without Marriage is condemned by God. 1 Corinthians

Answer 10

Well as far as same sex stuff goes- the Bible is clear that man and women should be together. As far as the act of sex goes- Bible is clear that should be saved for marriage. As far as sex in marriage goes- enjoy the heck out of it for it's a gift from God!(see song of Solomon)
