The rest of us are not bound by religious sex laws, if it's a consenting relationship then it's OK for us, even better when there's a love element involved WOW!... however it doesn't always happen that way in any relationship, even within marriage sex is not always loving is it!

Yes sex is always love for humans. I don't believe the rest of you are like you. If you prefer your sex as the dogs please be our guest you can even do your dog if you like.

scapegoat are you even Christian? If you were Im sure that who are allowed to get married and who cannot.
These laws are made to protect us - The reason why we alll have laws and rules is to protect us from unwnted things and to keep the peace and order of society.
Christian morality is aware of what is forbidden, but stresses more of what ought to be done than what is to be avoided.
It is true that Christ's moral messages include many prohibitions such as adultery, indecency, pornography, theft, murder, etc.
But cmon dude, all these things are themselves against other people and oppress them in some way. It is more of what a person should be than a list of do's and dont's.
There are a few reasons for voluntarily renouncing marriage -usually elevated cases- like becoming a priest,a call to religious life, etc.
We have laws for a reason, like any democratic government. Please do not think that Christianity makes life difficult because of these restraints. They are relatively easy to follow. Why would you want no laws in a society when they are needed to keep the order? Is it because you cannot control yourself?

Yes, it is. Just look at the situations involving Jimmy Swaggart, Ted Haggard, and others. It is very difficult sometimes to keep yourself guarded against immorality. Christians are just like everyone else when it comes to temptations, and sometimes the temptations get the best of us. But we have an intermediary between us and God. Jesus pleads our case before the Father and we are forgiven for our failings, because Christ paid the debt for our sins. We feel awful, or at least we should, when we fail, but Christ is there to pick us up, dust us off, and set us on the path again. The only difference between a Christian and a non-Christian is God's forgiveness.

Honestly, when I was in the dating scene, it wasn't always easy. But now that I'm on the other side of the fence - I successfully waited until marriage, and have been faithful in my marriage - I really see how those "rules" really gave me more freedom:
-Freedom to love my husband with all of me.
-Freedom from unwanted illness or pregnancy.
-And the big one for me, is freedom from feeling that intense emotional bond (that naturally comes with the human orgasm) with guys that it turns out were no good for me.
No disrespect to people who make other choices, but that is simply the choice I made, and looking back with the all the clarity that hindsight offers - I am very glad for it.

As a single Christian, it is sometimes quite difficult to be celebate. There are as many temptations in the world for women as there are for men. However, part of being a Christian is learning to rule over what your flesh desires in order to put yourself into line with Christ's wishes. He does not wish that I pollute my body with fornication, so I do not.
Is it difficult? Yes, at times. Is it worth it? ABSOLUTELY.

Christ often used the comparison of marital fidelity to describe our spiritual fidelity to Him. We should be as faithful to Him as we are to our spouses. Any deviance from that marital fidelity is akin to adultery. Does that put a crimp on our sexual freedom? Only if you are trying to be prideful and do things your way instead of His way.
One of the goals of mortality is to learn to overcome the carnal, natural man ways of the flesh by subjugating them to the ways of the spirit. We are supposed to be higher than the animals whose sole function in life seems to be breeding. If we constantly give in to the carnal desires, then we are no better than the rest of the animal kingdom.
I am perfectly willing to give up sexual promiscuity in order to enjoy the spiritual highlights of chastity and fidelity with my wife. We enjoy each other appropriately and that is enough. I am not missing out on anything important.
Likewise, I am cleaving to the teachings of Christ instead of the philosophies of men that tell me to enjoy life while I can because it only comes once. I know better.

Christianity doesn't restrain my sex life, my wife does.
