Safe sex








Safe sex is always better!

In my opinion, it's fun, and you don't have to worry as much!!

Sex Toys




Sex toys cover a broad spectrum of items that are designed to enhance physical pleasure. Because of the variety of items, it's hard to discuss them as a group. Note: we could include things like lingerie and flavored lubricants in this category, and the same considerations apply.

We see no scriptural prohibition on toys, nor any way in which toys violate any scriptural guidelines. In general this is going to be something each couple has to decide for themselves, but below are a few things to consider.

Some items may not be safe to use. For example, there are devices known as penile rings which are placed around the base of the penis to improve or maintain an erection. Most of these rings are safe, but a fixed ring that has no release could be very dangerous if it's too small.

It's also noted by most manufacturers that the rings should not be used for more than 30 minutes at a time. Vacuum devices and anything used to restrain a person also pose potential problems if they are not properly designed and used.

Some items designed to resemble parts of the male or female body are actually "modeled" after a real person, usually an actor or actress from pornographic movies. While it's not clear that this is a sin to use such a product, most Christians are opposed to it for obvious reasons. If an item is not advertised as being modeled after someone, it's just a generic sculpture.

If a sex toy is used, it should be as an enhancement, not the center of attention. If it brings the couple closer, and results in one or both of them enjoying sex more, that is good. If it results in either person feeling badly, that is not good.

The biggest obstacle to sex toys for most Christians is probably finding a way to buy them without being exposed to objectionable products and pornography.

In Europe some items are available in respectable shops, but in most of America this is not the case. Some lingerie shops may have small assortments of toys, but in general most Christian's choices are mail order and web shopping.
