For May, I&#8217;m going back to some basics and I&#8217;ll be looking at the connections between sexuality and spirituality with a more spiritual focus.

		<description><![CDATA[Continuing down the list&#8230; 8. Dressing up/roleplay This one is actually surprisingly tricky. As Rob Bell was fond of saying in his book ‘Sex God’, “This is about that.” Sexual fantasies, God love them, have a sometimes bafflingly broad spectrum. Any appetite is like to inspire some daydreaming. Sex fantasies are equivalent to food cravings; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=askthemonk.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2629816&amp;post=25&amp;subd=askthemonk&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Sexy toys/vibrators Most anyone that would disapprove of these will base their decision on one of two things.

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so lacking any inspirations of late, I’ve decided to address kinky sex and where I think Christians ought to land on the subject. Put quite simply, I’m for it. On the mystic level, sex is the wedding vow. You can’t get more physically intimate than the good old missionary position, you really can’t (unless [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=askthemonk.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2629816&amp;post=23&amp;subd=askthemonk&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sin is a really tricky subject. Many people shy away from Christianity, specifically, because of this supposed list of “don’ts” that churches wave about. I mean, there’s some really fun stuff on those lists. When one is dedicated to the avoidance of sin, it is very easy to make for yourself a religion of guilt, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=askthemonk.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2629816&amp;post=20&amp;subd=askthemonk&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On a number of occasions, people have asked for me to give my thoughts on Leviticus 15. It is a problematic chapter for them, specifically the latter half. Basically, what it says is that if a man ejaculates, everything the semen touches is &#8220;unclean&#8221;. If a couple have sex, they are &#8220;unclean&#8221;. And a woman [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=askthemonk.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2629816&amp;post=19&amp;subd=askthemonk&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
