Meet Ed Young. He's a Baptist minister in Texas and not only does he have an incredible tan, he wants you to have more sex! Young also has a church in Miami, which could explain the tan, but why the sex?
Unfortunately, it's not as exciting as it sounds. Young only wants you to have more sex if you're in a married couple, and then only to your spouse. So the gays and single folk of the world are out. For those who've exchanged rings, however, Young has launched a teaching seminar called "Leaving Lust Vegas" (a title not quite as clever as his book "Rating Your Dating While Waiting for Mating") which encourages couples to have more sex with each other, so they don't go and have it with other people.
"We want to turn whining into whoopi!" said Young. "With the current financial crises, moral debates on marriage, growing divorce rates, and rampant marital infidelity, marriages and families are under siege; there is a lot of whining going on. We want married people to see their bedroom for what it is - a magnet of stability, something that draws them away from the dangerous pull of lust that derails so many couples. We want couples to intentionally walk, even run, toward the marriage bed and away from sin city. By experiencing a sexual relationship the way God intended it, we hope couples will begin to see things with greater clarity. I often say, 'so goes marriage, so goes the family. And ultimately, so goes our decisions and choices in this uncertain world.' I know it is radical, but it's all about building stronger marriages," Young explains.
So, sex is radical, but a sermon titled "Why Gay is Not O.K" is not? What the hell is going on in Texas?
