Websalt article on sex and relationships

I've just had an article published on the AFES Websalt online mag. More to Life than Sex. It's about the difference between using sex "just for fun", and using it to enhance relationships. Co-authored with Dr. Pat ("mum"!).

Hi Kamal,

A couple of great example of this worldview you've outlined come to mind:
1) Back in 2004, the Good Weekend magazine published an article with the title "I don't want to die a virgin" by Catherine Von Ruhland(we looked at it in apologetics, so I've got a hard copy, but I haven't been able to find a version of it on the web). The author was then a 40 year-old woman who was leaving evangelical Christianity for the reasons expressed in the title. Sadly, she'd fallen for that worldview hook, line & sinker.

2) This worldview also shows up in popular books on Jesus like the Da Vinci Code & The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. As a young Christian, I was lent a copy of the latter book by my year's atheist and reading that Christians had to admit that Jesus must have had sex. For sex, their argument went, is an essential part of being truly human.
