Sex Promotion at Church

Relevant Church in Tampa has a 30-day Sex Challenge going on according to: Life: God wants you to have sex. They are encouraging their married people to have sex every day for 30 days and their single members to abstain for 30 days, even if they are in a committed relationship. From their web site:
People are not having enough sex. An epidemic of breakups prove the needs that lead to a great sex life are being overlooked. Dirty dishes, frumpy clothes, and a lack of authentic connections are killing the romance. A great sex life is a challenge and takes focus, determination, and planning. Some say it’s an unrealistic goal, but we disagree. We believe you can have a great sex life, in fact we believe God wants you to have a great sex life.

Relevant Church is proposing a challenge encouraging married couples to purposely engage in sexual activity for 30 days and singles to intentionally forgo sexual activity for 30 days. We know, it sounds crazy. However, we believe this challenge will not only improve sex lives, but also strengthen relationships. In this series married couples will review the obvious needs of him and uncover the forgotten needs of her and singles will cut through the illusions and consider the qualities that result in healthy relationships.

For far too long the church has remained silent on the subject, leading many people to believe that God is against sex, which is completely counter to what the Bible teaches. Join us February 17 - March 16 to find out what the buzz is about. Topics include:

- Business Time (Let the challenge begin)

- Your Way Right Away (Sometimes it's not all about you)

- Premature Consummation (Maybe there's another way)

- Taboos (Can you say that in church?)

- Building Stamina (From challenge to lifetime)

Some material may be inappropriate for younger audiences.
In a show of solidarity with my brothers and sisters in Tampa, The Ultra Rev encourages all his beloved readers to do the same. Hope as I run into you over the coming weeks that I see you all with smiles on your faces. Remember: God is the author of love and lovemaking. We as His people ought to be experts at both.

UPDATE: Lead Pastor Paul Wirth emailed me: "Thanks for the kind words on your blog. Enjoy the challenge. We will have a pdf version of the guide up on our site on Monday."
