Sex In Church: Getting It On Between the Pews

Think churches in Florida might’ve learned their lesson about mixing religion and sex after what happened to this guy? You’d be very wrong.

Actually, we’re pretty on board with pastors talking openly about sex. We probably won’t agree on much — namely, that no-no places of two or more people of the same sex shouldn’t touch each other — but we’re always big fans of having an open dialogue on intercourse. Reports the Palm Beach Post:

At first glance, the billboard over Interstate 95 that says “stripped: naked truth on sex” looks like an ad for a place to go on a Saturday night.

But the sign actually points the way to a local church on Sunday morning.

Palm Beach Community Church’s billboard promotes sex and relationship sermons, which run through March 1.

Palm Beach Community Church put up the billboard near PGA Boulevard to advertise a series of sermons on sex and relationships running through March 1. Senior Pastor Ray Underwood, who founded the church more than two decades ago, said he wants to focus on the positive aspects of sex.

“You tend to hear about the ‘Thou shalt nots,’ ” Underwood said. “We want to talk about the ‘Thou shalts.’ ”

Underwood gave his first sermon, “Hot Monogamy,” a PG-11 rating and suggested that parents take kids under that age to the child care center. A video projected on the church’s big screen said, “so … sex in church? Are we really going to talk about this? We need to.” Though it could be kind of weird, the video warned — “like seeing a nude scene with your parents.”

Underwood’s message was that sex isn’t bad, and it isn’t just for procreation. It unifies couples and helps them to stay together. But real marriages aren’t the sex-fests that many people expect, Underwood said — it takes effort from both parties to keep things interesting.
