Insights from Chapter 1

#1

When you’re single, you may try to downplay your sexuality because you don’t want to get tempted, but once you’re married, embrace it because it is awesome. God made sex to be so wonderful that for a few moments, it’s as if the only people who exist in the world are you and your husband.

#2

Sex is much more than just a physical act. We often degrade it to be less than it was created to be if we only see it in the physical realm.

#3

The bad-girl message is that we need to take control of our own sexual satisfaction. We need to be in touch with our own bodies, have fun with ourselves, and know what we like before we can have any sort of sexual relationship.

#4

Sex is not about the genitalia. It’s about relationship. When we focus on the physical, we neglect the real power sex has to bond us together in multiple ways, not only physically but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well.

#5

While one bad girl message says we should glorify our bodies, the other says we should feel embarrassed by them, as if sex is somehow shameful. Many Good Girls begin marriage with this feeling.

#6

Sex should be something special, and it’s often not. People tend to over-emphasize the physical aspects of sex, which cheapens what should be an intimate bonding experience.

#7

The culture we live in is obsessed with physical pleasure, and this is especially true when it comes to sex. We start to believe that a hot body is indispensable for hot sex, and as a result, we start to feel inferior about our own bodies.

#8

It doesn’t matter what other people think of you if you’re not a size 4. You can still be sexy if you love someone. The Victorian era was sexually prudish, but there is no evidence to suggest that Victoria didn’t like sex.

#9

When sex is all about the physical, the physical stimulation has to become more and more extreme to bring the same high. Without relationship, sex has no depth. And so people talk about it all the time and do weirder and weirder things, yet according to research, they’re not having better sex.

#10

Sex is about connection, not cleavage. It is not just about our attitudes towards our bodies, but also our attitudes towards God and our husbands. Sex is a relational thing that happens to involve our bodies more than it does a physical thing that impacts our relationship.

#11

Sex is a deep desire for connection. It is not something you can have on your own, but only in relationship with another person. Sexuality is properly understood and experienced in relationship, not in isolation and not with a mirror and a bunch of aging hippie women.

#12

Sex was created to be a physical connection, but it can also be so much more than that. It can help us truly know each other, in every sense of the word. God wants us to know each other physically, but he also wants us to know each other’s heart, mind, and soul.

#13

Christians have long understood the threefold nature of sex, and how it can be used to reaffirm marriage. The physical aspect of sex is to make two become one flesh, but the spiritual aspect of sex goes beyond this.

#14

The two will become one flesh refers to a spiritual union, not just a physical one. When we participate in the making of that union, sex becomes something very precious.

#15

The three areas of sex are physical, emotional, and spiritual. You know how to have a great sex life, but what makes sex truly amazing is not only the physical fireworks, but a true union in every way.

#16

The key to a man’s heart is to be naked and bring food. Men look, men see, and men want. As females, it’s easy to look at guys who would like nothing better than to have their wives greet them at the door in Saran Wrap and wonder what’s wrong with them.

#17

When girls read that God created sex for relationship, we want to cheer right along. We understand that men desire sex so much because they are closer to the lizards than the angels.

#18

Men’s bodies are designed to desire sex in a far more basic way than women’s bodies are. Men’s bodies are more willing to suffer until they reach climax, while women are more content with not reaching climax.

#19

Sex is a doorway into intimacy, which is a doorway into sex. Men produce oxytocin after they have an orgasm, which helps them feel loved. Women need to feel loved to make love. It’s a complete disaster for men and women to want the same things from sex.

#20

Men and women are different, and that is what makes the combination work. However, this also causes conflict and frustration, so don’t get mad at your husband for being a man. He’s just the way he is.

#21

Sex is far more in a woman’s head than it is between her legs. Because of this, headaches can actually hinder a woman’s sex drive. If she can’t concentrate, she won’t become aroused.

#22

We must engage with the process of getting ourselves aroused. We must let our guard down and allow ourselves to be vulnerable, which is what makes sex so powerful.

#23

A man’s self-esteem when it comes to sex is largely based on whether he can make his partner feel good. A Good Girl doesn’t just let her man make love to her. She doesn’t just lie there and think of England. She jumps in with both feet.

#24

Sex should be something to look forward to, and for most men, it is. However, women are not guaranteed anything during sex. Our arousal level has little to do with whether sex can actually take place.

#25

Men know that a woman can physically make love without being at all turned on, and the only way to tell whether she wants to or not is whether she is actually aroused. Most men want their wives to feel pleasure, and they want to feel capable of giving that pleasure.

#26

A Good Girl knows that in order to be a Good Girl, you have to be a girl, not a boy. Men are aroused by sight, so it makes sense to try to attract them with scantily clad women. But what attracts women to that Cosmo cover is not the thought of sex, but the thought of being that woman, being the one everyone wants.

#27

The sexual liberation movement is not about women’s rights or advancement, but about erasing God from our culture. We have to remove any vestiges of morality so that we can stop feeling guilty about everything and start doing what we want to do.

#28

The first thing that happened when God created Eve was that Adam was blown away by her. She was created to attract him, to fulfill him, and to have him yearn for her.
