Steamy sex for Christians
Sept. 16: MSNBC.com Sexploration columnist Brian Alexander and preacher Joe Beam talk to NBC's Lester Holt about lovemaking lessons from the Bible.

Today show

For centuries, Christians were taught that the pleasures of sex were all bad. Mr. Beam is helping people to see that God didn't make sex that way. For this, he should be thanked.
David, Creedmoor, N.C.

This is very refreshing and it is about time. It is about permission to love your wife and or your husband fully. I think Joe Beam can only help save marriages by this message. I am from Omaha, Neb., the Bible belt of the Midwest. You go Joe Beam.
Kate, Omaha, Neb.

I am the prayer and spiritual freedom pastor of a mega church in Grove City, Ohio (Grove City Church of the Nazarene), and I believe that Joe is absolutely right on... The Bible tells us that the marriage bed is undefiled and this literally means that anything consensual between a MARRIED MAN AND HIS WIFE is no holds barred! All the Christian world would have to do is take a look at the Songs of Solomon and they would see that we serve a God that is all for the intimacy and steamy passion in the marriage bed. So to answer your question, I give Brother Beam a huge AMEN!
Chad, Grove City, Ohio

I applaud Mr. Beam. This is a much healthier approach to sex. I attended private, Christian schools most of my life, including college. There were people on either extreme of sex: too much with too many partners, or scared of the wedding night. My good friend was in a wedding, and the bride called her from the honeymoon hotel room bathroom, too afraid of having sex to leave the bathroom. I agree that within a God-ordained marriage, in the privacy of your own home, your bedroom is your amusement park. It is unfortunate so many feel the "pleasures of the flesh" are off limits to believers when the reality is that God made those pleasures for everyone.

Are we satisfied yet?

Although I agree that married people should have sex and it is God's gift to a married couple, I have not found anywhere in the Bible where a vibrator is permissible, so that part of it I am not so convinced on yet.
Missy, St. Paul, Minn.

I have always felt like a sexual creature; my husband loves me that way. As Christians we have viewed sex as the ultimate expression of our commitment to each other in marriage. No hang-ups, no feeling guilty. We have tried to impart this to our 20-something sons. We pray that sex in their marriages will be as great as ours is!
Rebecca, Columbus, Ohio

Joe Beam's take on sex is liberating and refreshing, desperately needed by many in the Christian faith. Sex has been demonized for centuries by the church, which leaves believers feeling guilty for the desires they naturally have that God gave them. Hopefully his message will help the church adjust to the modern world.
Timothy, Chicago

That sex even exists as a recreational activity is proof that God is good! ... It is a sad fact that many Christians have been taught (knowingly or not) that sex is best left tucked in a corner, unenjoyed and undiscovered.
Heather, Durham, N.C.

Hey, I'm Jewish and I can't agree more with Joe. I think the title for his "sermons" should be "Come All Ye Faithful!"
Peter
