I do enjoy poking a little fun at “Social Conservatives” who venture into prudish waters at times. But seriously, anyone have any thoughts on this?
Christianity and sex toys don’t usually end up in the same sentence, but at Book22.com, an online sex toy shop for Christian married couples, faith and bedroom fun are always intertwined.
God “illustrated that in marriage man and woman symbolically become one flesh,” the shop explains. “A common theme throughout the Bible is sexual purity…We want to encourage God’s plan for people to remain sexually pure.”
Being a committed Christian does not mean that you have to forego a very active sex life within marriage. And indeed, there are more than a few “Christian” sites on the net that deal largely with sex (in marriage) in a very explicit way. Prudishness and an austere sex life are associated with Christianity, but they were tacked onto Christianity by St. Augustine and his ilk, not the bible. Thus Christian sex toys – though unusual – is not against type.
