Homosexual intercourse
ARTICLE
The health effects of same-sex sexual deed are many. The general, government, and judiciary are being lead to have faith that same-sex sexuality is a normal variant with interactions and results corresponding to heterosexual sexuality. However, this position runs hostile to professional literature and the track record of history.
By any repeatable measure, the percentage of the population identifying as homosexual, lesbian, bisexual, or trans person (GLBT) is small. The United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that men having sex with men (MSM) comprise approximately two percent of the population, or four percent of the U.S male population.1 The University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center has conducted surveys regarding homosexuality since the sdelayed s and deems that approximately two percent of the U.S. population identifies as either gay, queer woman , or bisexual.2 The National Survey of Family Expansion conducted by the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics found that among women ages 18 to 44, percent identified as bisexual with
How do same-sex couples have sex? How can they training safer sex?
People who identify as woman loving woman, gay, bi or heterosexual can grant and express pleasure in many ways. There isn’t just one way for two people to have sex, no matter what sex or sexual orientation they are.
What two people of the same sex execute to have sex together depends on what feels fine for them. Often, people think that sex is only putting a penis into a vagina, but that may not be the activity that brings the most pleasure to the two people. This is true for heterosexual, bisexual, lesbian and gay people.
Males who identify as male lover, bisexual or just do sexual things with other males may use their fingers (manual stimulation), mouths (oral sex) and various body parts to donate and receive pleasure. They may brush , touch each other’s bodies or contact the penis and other areas including the scrotum or the anus. Sometimes they use penises to penetrate the anal opening (anal sex).
Females who distinguish as lesbian, pansexual or just complete sexual things with other females may touch each other’s genitals by using their finger
The Bible on Homosexual Behavior
One way to argue against these passages is to make what I call the “shellfish objection.” Keith Sharpe puts it this way: “Until Christian fundamentalists boycott shellfish restaurants, stop wearing poly-cotton T-shirts, and stone to death their wayward offspring, there is no obligation to listen to their diatribes about homosexuality being a sin” (The Gay Gospels, 21).
In other words, if we can disregard rules like the forbid on eating shellfish in Leviticus , then we should be allowed to disobey other prohibitions from the Old Testament. But this argument confuses the Vintage Testament’s temporary ceremonial laws with its permanent moral laws.
Here’s an analogy to help understand this distinction.
I remember two rules my mom gave me when I was young: hold her hand when I cross the lane and don’t drink what’s under the sink. Today, I hold to follow only the latter rule, since the former is no longer needed to shield me. In fact, it would now do me more impair than good.
Old Testament ritual/ceremonial laws were like mom’s handholding command. The rea

The relationship of homosexuality to Christianity is one of the main topics of discussion in our culture today. In the fall of last year I wrote a review of books by Wesley Hill and Sam Allberry that take the historic Christian view, in Hill’s words: “that homosexuality was not God’s original innovative intention for humanity and therefore that homosexual rehearse goes against God’s state will for all human beings, especially those who trust in Christ.”
There are a number of other books that seize the opposite view, namely that the Bible either allows for or supports same sex relationships. Over the last year or so I (and other pastors at Redeemer) possess been regularly asked for responses to their arguments. The two most study volumes taking this position seem to be those by Matthew Vines and Ken Wilson. The review of these
