Ed Young, Jr., the pastor of Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas, has recently released a book emphasizing the importance of intimacy and sex in marriage. Kayt Sukel's controversial new publication, Dirty Minds, supports Ed Young's assertion that intimacy is about more than sex.
GRAPEVINE, Texas, Jan. 12, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sex has been a topic of interest since the beginning of humanity. From why people have sex to how their bodies respond to physical intimacy, researchers have studied every angle of intercourse possible. Kayt Sukel, whose recently released Dirty Minds has stirred up some controversy, reports that sex is more than a physical activity. Pastor Ed Young, Jr., whose latest book, Sexperiment: 7 Days to Lasting Intimacy with Your Spouse, also delves into this topic, agrees that there is more to intimacy than the physical reaction of the body.
Ed Young has preached a healthy sex life as an important component of a lasting marriage for years. Through his latest publication, which he co-authored with his wife, he provides readers with instruction on how to build a stronger level of intimacy with their spouses through the act of sex. "Popular culture has degraded sexual intimacy, turning it into both a common activity and a spousal obligation. These ideas about sex are wrong," Ed Young, Jr. says, "as sex should be seen as an important part of a strong, healthy relationship."
In Dirty Minds, Sukel supports Ed Young's theory by asserting that sex affects more than just the body parts involved. Through her research, she has discovered that the brain plays an important role in deriving pleasure from intercourse. Furthermore, as an article on ABCNews.com reports, she found that, '"There is a lot more variation within any given sex than between them [...] There are more differences between 100 women in their brains than between men and women.'"
These differences between the members of the same sex, which dictate how an individual's body and brain will respond to intercourse, indicate that achieving a meaningful level of intimacy with a spouse will take an individualized effort. In his book, Ed Young teaches couples how to approach sex in a way that will allow this intimacy to develop.
