Making love

You know, I realised that the newspaper in Australia is really getting to be more and more interesting. On this lovely day, I came across to this article that instantly caught my eyes. Before I proceed, let me just point out that those that are religiously strong person, you might wanna stop reading.

Alright, here goes.

The article’s title was something like this, ‘Church asking couple to pray before sex’.

Subsequent parts of the article made my friend and I laugh hysterically in class. It mentioned that the Catholic Church here had recently passed a book that lists the types of prayers required to be chanted before making love. And obviously, these are for MARRIED couples only, as like all churches it presumes that couples only had sex after marriage.

The point is, who would want to do that? I mean, you are kissing and touching and all, getting in the mood, then suddenly before the sexual intercourse begin, you put a halt on things and tell your partner that you need to pray before proceeding to the fun part!! What a turn off! Or perhaps, before a couple decide to make love, they would pray first. But that means, the couple will have to DECIDE to make love. And I thought making love is supposed to be spontaneous and spur of the moment thing.

Also, the articles quoted that the church says that making love should be for the purpose of higher godly values rather than for personal satisfaction. Being a little versed on this issue, I understand that Christianity is against homosexuality and urge love between different sexes. This is really fine for me, as it ensure a continuity of the human population. But, does it mean that when couples make love it is purely for the purpose of reproduction? So no foreplay, no kissing, no bla bla??? Just plainly penetrate and shoot. No offend dears, but it sound a little ironic to me. Then again, I'm sure this are extremist speaking coz my Christian friends are all undeniably cool.

PS: you know I miss you.
