The other night, as my wife and I made love, I had a very beautiful spiritual contemplation come to my mind. And so, I wanted to voice this contemplation, even though it may seem a bit controversial to some, in order to hear any/all thoughts regarding it...
As my mind was open, and I became "one flesh" with my wife, I began to take on a feeling of being purely of the spiritual realm. This led to the feeling of a dissolution of the sex. No longer was I a man, and my wife a woman, but rather, we were one. One sex and No sex at the same time!
This is when I began to contemplate the paradoxical state of being purely a spiritual being; the possibility of a Being of one sex; or that of No Sex. And, I also began to think about the truly Sacred union that happens during sex.
It was these contemplations that led me to realize that maybe Sex is much more a Sacred subject than some would want us to believe.

The church generally prefers not to talk about it, and I know that I might even be persecuted by some for saying this... But, to me, the disregard of sex as a Sacred subject tends to have a dual impact. It keeps it shrouded in ignorance and the implication is that since it's not talked about, it’s bad.
To me, being that I believe we are all purely spiritual beings regardless of our physical sex, I tend to feel that what God seeks in all of us is the Love, and Sexual connection, that is shared in a marriage union.
However, I am very hard-pressed to believe that this Love and Sexual connection must -only- be between a man and a woman, for I feel that as long as that True Spiritual connection is there between a couple, the physical sex makes no difference.
I understand that only a man and woman have the capability to procreate, and that God, at one time, saught that we "be fruitful and increase in number."

But, is it so hard for us to believe that we are in a time, now, where anyone can Love anyone else?

1. I never said that couple lose their Gender when they are married. I said that I had the "feeling" of the dissolution of the sex. This feeling was a purely spiritual experience within my consciousness.
2. My contemplation does NOT pertain only to married individuals. It just so happens that I had this spiritual contemplation after becoming married. I could have had this contemplation while single. And, I could also have had this contemplation while having sex with another man (if I were gay). The fact that I am married to a woman only shows my current sexual orientation in this physical world. Not that my contemplation only pertains to that union.
3. Another obvious misconception is that, again, you believe that I meant we lose our gender orientation while still within this physical life. That is not -at all- my meaning by this post.
Thanks for trying.

Note to Robert C::
I have always taken a step back to ask myself the relevance of anything that I contemplate. It's how I learn. But, I thank you for this answer.
To me, the only earthly good we can do is to spread Love. And, this questions relevance is just that. It is a lack of love that I tend to see spread when the subject of sex (especially of the homosexual nature) that I aimed to question with this post.
But again, thank you for your Answer! =D

That's how I think it is supposed to be.
I certainly feel that way when I am with my beloved, and I pity those who have never experienced it.
Certainly those in same sex relationships can experience it as well. If a husband or wife were unable to have intercourse due to an injury, and expressed their love in a different physical way, would that lessen the spiritual bond created? "Lovemaking" can take many forms, all of them equally valid to those sharing it.

There are 2 obvious contradictions. Think about what you just said. You said when couples are married, they lose their gender being that they become one. Well if 2 guys are screwing each other, how is that marriage convenant fullfilled? How have they lost their gender being that they are NOT married and being the same gender? Your defintion of this "lost gender" "purely spiritual" clause pertains to married couples only of man and wife, therefore categorically you just contrdadicted yourself.
Another painfully obvious observation is that we do NOT lose gender here on earth. That isnt what the Bible teaches. The 2 come together and form 1 (family) not 1 neuter individual. You are still 2 individuals with different ideas and genders and that isnt going to change. You are denying the gender roles God has assigned to us not to mention the numermous warnings against sexual immorality found in Scripture.

Many religions have incorporated sex not only between mates but as a way to worship -- (typical male statement: I'm now a believer!!!)
The need to reproduce is one of the strongest in nature, seconded by the need to protect your offspring and then self preservation.

God desires people using fact he lives interior the hearts and souls of people who have faith in him. it rather is only like quite a few faith that has a a techniques better ability. That ability has no character or colour, yet a spirit that's interior the believer. and there's a interdependence between author and creation only as there is interdependence between people. shall we no longer exist totally with out dependence on others only as people have subject latest with out believeing in a a techniques better ability to help them alongside with their lives. Now as an athiest, do no longer you compromise that your existence is complicated? Who do you turn to for help? Yahooers? ok, i will end right here or i visit get off the area.

WOW!!! I am a little dumbfounded. I more or less agree with you. I believe that sex is a holy union and I do have my concerns about the teachings of homosexuals. But Amen, brother.

I think sex is sacred as well and it's fine between any consensual adults. It doesn't matter if your gay or not. Sex is a wonderful act of love.
