*#3 The best sex you’ll ever have*
*/Opening:/*
*ILL**:* A couple months ago, one of our wonderful Adventureland volunteers was helping out with the three year-olds.
They were gathered around a table covered with butcher paper and were drawing with crayons.
One little 3 year-old had drawn two people pressed tightly together.
The volunteer asked who that was, and the 3 year-old said, “That’s mommy and daddy in the bedroom having family time.”
Family time…I like it!
Today we’re going to talk about family time.
This is part 3 of our series, “Pure Sex”, and we’re going to talk about the best sex you’ll ever have.

*/Introduction:/*
I’m not even going to ask how many of you can identify with that!
Joel Achenbach wrote an article for Redbook magazine entitled /What men secretly love about marriage./
One of several things that men love about marriage is sizzling sex!
He writes,
“Sex within the confines of a marriage can get hot!
In my household the opportunities are severely restricted by the constant presence of the little Achenbachs, so when we get a chance, it’s not a pretty sight.
Smoke billows from the chimney.
And this happens when we’re still undressing.
(A man) knows that he knows he has better sex with his wife than he would with anyone else—because he and his wife have practiced.
They know all the sweet spots…”
The best sex happens in marriage…sizzling sex…because you’ve learned over time how to please each other.
God made sex for marriage.
And the best sex happens in marriage because it’s there that we learn how to make love, not just have sex.
Don’t take my word
\\ for it; this has been shown repeatedly in study after study.
*ILL**: *A comprehensive sexual survey done by the University of Chicago in 1994 revealed that monogamous couples are significantly happier in their sexual relationships.
By contrast, a Harris poll commissioned by Playboy Enterprises and conducted in 1976-77 found that men who followed the playboy approach on sex had less satisfying sex than any other group to which they were compared.
(Dr.
Daniel Heimbach, True Sexual Morality,)
In other words, contrary to what you see on TV and in the movies and hear about in popular culture, doing it whenever you want with whomever you want is the worst sex of all, the least satisfying.
Married couples have the best sex ever!
There’s a common-sense reason for this.
Did you notice I said that we learn how to make love?
It’s a learned activity.
How many of you went on your honeymoon expecting sexual fireworks and got a dud?
After months of mounting sexual desire and anticipation, did your honeymoon fizzle instead of sizzle?
I've discovered that the honeymoon letdown is incredibly common, for a couple reasons.
First, because we over-plan our honeymoons, and fill them with so much activity that we're exhausted by bedtime.
I always advise couples to go where they can be alone and relax, and save that explore-the-world sight-seeing tour for another time.
Even more, honeymoons fizzle instead of sizzle because making love is a learned activity.
*ILL**: *Laina and I enjoyed our honeymoon, but I think both of us agree that sex wasn't all we anticipated, simply because we were beginners--which you are supposed to be.
Before you're married, when you're burning with passion and are struggling to wait, you imagine that on the first night, you'll rip each other's clothes off and proceed straight to sexual ecstasy.
It never occurred to me that making love is a learned activity; I thought it just happened--boom!
Sex is like golf.
I remember the first time I played golf.
I thought, "How hard can this be?
Hit a little white ball with a great big stick—it’s easy!"
I was awful.
But the more you practice and play, the better you get.
Making love is like that; the more you do it together, the more you learn what the other enjoys.
You learn how to bring pleasure to your mate, which is what it's all about.
Laina and I enjoyed the adventure of learning together on our honeymoon; it was fun!
But it was a learning experience.
We've gotten better and better at understanding what each other likes and wants, and at meeting each other's sexual needs.
Marriage provides a couple the security to safely learn together how to make love, which is much more than just having sex.
That’s why the best sex happens in marriages.
Here are some ideas that can help you have the best sex ever.
*1.
Develop the right attitude.*
The most powerful sexual organ in your body is your mind.
Having the proper attitude toward your spouse and his~/her sexual needs is the first step to sexual fulfillment.
Here are two attitudes that are absolutely essential.
*A.
**God wants you to be faithful to your spouse.
*
*Hebrews 13:4 *"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."
Marriage should be honored by all.
The marriage relationship is to be valued and protected.
*ILL**: *If you have something valuable, you protect it.
My motorcycle is parked in my garage.
Not only that, it is carefully covered—inside my garage.
I don’t want it to get dusty, or the cats to climb and claw on it.
I protect my motorcycle.
