Just A Thought

I was online the other day when a former classmate of mine signed in on MSN. His nick read, “What do I want in my life?” I sent him an instant message and jokingly said, "You need sex dude". To which he replied, "Sex? Aiyah, sex to me is like kissing liao".

Now I didn't know if he really meant it or not, but if he did, that's really sad. Like I said in one of my previous entries, I believe that sex is an expression of love and it's sad to see this expression lose it's meaning be reduced to a mere recreational activity. Sex outside marriage loses its purity and to have sex casually makes it totally lose its whole meaning. It simply becomes another activity for pleasure.

To me, your own body isn't just a body, it represents you, and is something that you don't simply give away to anyone. And when you do decide to give it away, who else to give it than to the person you love the most in your life? Sex is not only expression of love but also of trust and commitment, which you can give only within the boundaries of marriage.

Outside marriage, the promise of commitment is something that one cannot give as all you have are words. In marriage however, that promise is bound by action which is more than just words. That's why I feel that sex should be done within the context of marriage.

Sad to say, nowadays the meaning of marriage is disappearing as well. With everything losing it's meaning, no wonder problems like broken families and AIDS are on the rise.

Hmm.. I wonder if I'm making sense. I'm thinking too much today.
