Media often slanders the miracle of sex

Sex is a beautiful miracle that allows people to truly become connected as one. It was a gift given to us by our Heavenly Father and we have the miracle to create life. Whereas, unfortunately in our day to day, the media portrays sex as a means of gratification, crude jokes, or a bargaining chip. Most movies never treat sex as beautiful and often portray it as something aggressive and passionate. While forgetting it can also be gentle and loving. It is important to think about what children are watching especially when it comes to sex and their portrayal of it. If you do not teach your child first about sex the ways they could learn from the media could give them unhealthy viewpoints of sexuality as a whole. The more your child understands about sexuality and their own body from you in a healthy manner the more likely they are to respect not only their own bodies but others as well. Sex is a beautiful miracle given to us by God.
