I’m here to make a case for a counter-narrative where it makes perfect sense to say that the only kind of sex conducive to human flourishing is that between a man and a woman joined in a marital relationship. Neither the” live and let live” view of sex, nor the Christian view stands alone. Both are a part of larger narratives about what it means to be a sexual person, in a real body, living in an imperfect world, and longing for real connection—real love and intimacy.
