Fooling...is a more accurate description then what a person might think, when describing a casual approach to sex. We are fooling ourselves if we believe that fooling around has no cause, and effect. It is foolish to think, that sex is JUST anything. Believing that sex is JUST sex, is like playing with an atomic bomb, and thinking it is JUST a fourth of July sparkler. A sparkler is pretty, fast, it lights up the night, and everyone wants to play with it. What could be the harm?

not have his clothes catch on fire?
not have his clothes catch on fire?
Play with fire and you will get burned...
There is more to sex then the exchange of pleasurable favors. During orgasm the release of oxytocin and vasopressin trigger feelings of attachment. This is a powerful mix of hormones meant to bind you together with someone. We live in times where people cry out for no restraint, and rights. Yet, if we search deeper...even the science of sex is the proof that it is something much more than," JUST". The message of the media says, that it is easy to shake off sexual encounters, and for that matter...people are easy to shake off too. This is a lie. Think of one person you know that has been in a sexual relationship that can forget about that person. Tearing from that person leaves bitterness, and a hole that needs to be healed. When we have sex with someone we are walking around with parts of that person, and they have parts of our heart too. Hooking up is a deadly way to try to catch the love of your life. You've heard the term," There's lots of fish in the sea". The word hook, paints a picture of a fish being baited, trapped, lured, and unto death...HOOKED. Death of dreams, values, hope, and yes sometimes even physical death follows promiscuity. Our culture would like to paint a picture of dismissed physical acts that are glorious, and fulfilling. Lust is far from fulfilling, and its pleasures are fleeting. It leaves a hungrier, and angry heart. Sex will always have a cause, and effect. You cannot be unaffected by sexual encounters. There is a reason to rise to the occasion of protecting, and valuing your sexuality. You are so valuable. You are worth fighting for...good sex is worth fighting for...commitment is worth fighting for.
I Corinthians 6:18 "Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body."
AND...
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."
My belief, is that the number one cause of promiscuity is a lack of vision mixed with a sense of no value....My prayer is that you will have vision for your life, and understand your worth today. I pray that no matter where you are, or where your heart has been, that you will know that you can turn to Jesus to define who you are...and not the message of the world. Never believe sex is anything but powerful, and should be treated as a hot and holy act that is meant for marriage. It is meant to build, and create intimacy between two people. It was never meant to be a commodity that is JUST given away.
I pray that if you have been hooked by the lie that sex is a simple favor of pleasure...that you will be the one that got away.
