We have to teach from early on that sex is a gift for marriage, it isnt for 'us' to dish out as we feel driven.
It has only one context.
Dear Jax,

May God be with you!

Yes yes and yes!!!!!!!! Absolutely! I don't even let my girls watch the Disney kids sitcoms because there is too much behavior mimicking older kids and adults at inappropriate ages. If they do happen to see something, I will at least use it as a teaching moment as to why that is against God's plan for us and just what is God's plan for us!

There are many wonderful women and men in the bible to help illustrate His plan plus many martyrs of the faith like St. Maria Goretti

God bless you!
