"Whatever you do, never step past that line." One of my friends told me before he taught me how to use a handgun at the shooting range yesterday, "Even if you drop your gun, don't go get it. Just leave it there."
I understood the reason why instinctively: doing so would get me seriously injured or killed.
A gun is a powerful tool which can either be used for good (hunting for food and self-defense) or evil (murdering innocent people). Likewise, sex is a powerful tool, which can either be used for good (forming a lifelong friendship with your wife/husband, and, even better, experiencing the joy of raising children) or evil (crushing other people's hearts for your own personal gain, or worse, torturing people through unwanted, violent attacks). Like a shooting range, when it comes to our sexuality, there is a certain line we
should never cross. That line is a Christ-centered marriage to a loyal,
God-fearing, opposite-gender spouse. If you stay on the right side of that line (within marriage), you get the excitement and thrill of training with one of the most powerful tools God has given you. If you step "out onto the range" (i.e. outside of marriage, and this includes premarital "banging", pun intended), then you risk getting your head blown off. Most of us know instinctively that this will happen, but we temporarily "lose our crap" when we run into either:
A) A stacked 18-year-old babe with a "badonkadonk."
B) A ripped 27-year-old stud with the full "package" deal
Then we cross the line at the sexual shooting range, anyway, and become the headless horseman's long lost sibling.
The scariest part is that, with a gun, the consequences are immediate (you die). With sex, that's not necessarily the case: medical technology may prevent baby mama drama and biological MMA fighters known as "STDs" opening a can of whoop-tushy on your genitalia. But it will not prevent:
1) Divorce
2) Psycho exes
3) Jail time if your young hottie turns out to be a psycho and nails you with a phony rape charge, hoping to get Big Bubba to do her dirty work for her.
4) PTSD if your handsome, older crush gets mad that you won't do "those things" he has seen in hardcore porn and makes you do them anyway by raping you.
5) Spouses with guns if you are the "other man/woman"
Do not get riddled with the bullets of drama at the sexual shooting range! Stay on the right side of the line, and enjoy a lifetime of safe thrills by banging your lifelong best friend: your spouse!
"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." (Hebrews 13:4)
