Thought I might share my thoughts on the topic of the panel discussion tonight. This is what I wrote before the discussion. I hope this can explain properly what I was trying to say...



We've been asked to be on a panel discussing sex.

I feel a little under-qualified... Those who can't do... Teach???

But then I was thinking, who is qualified? They want someone who will at the end of the day will say that abstinence is the best option, they either need someone who's never held a guys hand, is completely pure and innocent, or  someone who's been the whole way, and regrets it... or me. Someone who's been blessed enough, to never have actually gone there. But had the tempting option right in-front of me a couple of times.And is soooooo grateful in hindsight that it didn't happen.

I've been trying to think about what I'm comfortable saying to everyone, and what is right to say to everyone. I refuse to be hypocritical, and I refuse to preach abstinence without saying at the end of the day, what you need to know is this:

If you can refrain from sex, that is awesome. Your best bet. Keep yourself safe. Protect your body. Protect your mind, and protect your heart and this is what God asks of us, because he wants to keep us safe.

But if you're going to have sex, you MUST protect the one thing you can, your body. Be smart. Use contraception (condoms, the pill- and the morning after pill- available over the counter at pharmacies... it's not cheap, but neither should sex be). There is no excuse for unplanned pregnancies these days, and no one wants an STI (sexually transmitted infection)! Remember, in God's eyes sin is sin. Stealing a lolly is sin, having sex before marriage is sin. But the thing is, there is nothing too big for God to forgive! There is nothing that God doesn't want to forgive. God wants you- it doesn't matter where you've been or what you've done in your past. He just put these rules there too keep us safe, and when we ignore them and get hurt, he so badly wants to pick us up off the ground, brush the dirt off our knees and give us a huge hug and heal all our pain.

I have many friends who have been in relationships and ended up with a pregnancy. I dont want people to think i'm targeting them or judging them. Education is something I'm passionate about. I always want everyone to know what their options are.

Here's some quotes I found followed by some safe sex slogans.

for birth control, I rely on my personality. ~Milt Abel

I want to tell you a terrific story about oral contraception.  I asked this girl to sleep with me and she said "No."  ~Woody Allen

We want far better reasons for having children than not knowing how to prevent them.  ~Dora Winifred Black Russell

It would be a service to mankind if the pill were available in slot machines and the cigarette were placed on prescription.  ~Malcolm Potts, MD

The best contraceptive is the word no - repeated frequently.  ~Margaret Smith

We all worry about the population explosion, but we don't worry about it at the right time.  ~Arthur Hoppe

He no play-da-game.  He no make-a-da rules!  ~Earl Butz, referring to the Pope's stricture against contraception

A birth control pill for men, that's fair.  It makes more sense to take the bullets out of the gun than to wear a bulletproof vest.  ~Author Unknown

     

And my personal favourite, safe sex slogans!

Don’t be silly, protect your willy

You can't go wrong if you shield your dong

If you think she's spunky, cover your monkey

If you go into heat, package your meat

Especially in December, gift wrap your member

No Glove, No Love.

Don't be a fool, Cover your tool

If you don't got a rubber, there'll be no hubba hubba!

 " There is no condom strong enough to protect your heart"

Acts 13:38-39 – “Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.” 

1 Timothy 4: 12 " Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity"
