On Sex and Love

Advertisers have discovered that manipulating a natural drive is a great way to sell a product.  Corporations have done more to define sexuality in the last two centuries than we would ever imagine.  I wonder... what would sexuality be like if there was no advertising?  Imagine a world where men would not even consider objectifying women.  Can you think of sex as a by product of a committed, loving relationship and not vice-versa?  What if the concepts of love and attractiveness were not tangled together in ways God never intended?  The Bible refers to Satan as a liar and the father of lies.  The church should be on the forefront of the truth regarding sex and sexuality.  We run and hide from this topic and let the world twist this gift from God.  I would like to see the church play a greater role in defining sex and sexuality in our culture.  What impact this would have on divorce rates, teen pregnancy, eating disorders, abortion, disease, and more.
