Moral Erotica is considered by many as not possible. One of the oldest examples of moral erotica is the Song of Solomon in the Bible. Song of Solomon in the Bible tells of married sex in poetic words. King Solomon and his beloved shared one erotic moment after another using the common sexual language of that day,
Throughout history, Christians have shied away from moral erotica even the Song of Solomon. In fact, the Song of Solomon was translated as allegory of the relation of Christ and His church. Good reading of the Bible is not allegory reading. This book is moral erotica plain and simple. It was written to encourage and teach humans to imagine and have sensual thoughts in marriage. This was erotic literature.
Wikipedia defines erotic literature: “Erotic literature comprises fictional and factual stories and accounts of human sexual relationships which have the power to or are intended to arouse the reader sexually. ” Moral Erotica(Wikipedia)
Should Christians enjoy, read or be taught by erotica? The Bible is positive about erotic literature as long as it is moral.
A large number of Christians read “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Many Christian’s applauded the fact that the story was between one man and one woman. But much of the story would still be considered immoral because the marriage relationship was not the only God honoring place for sexuality in this story.
A Moral Erotica Revolution
More and more books are going to be published that depict moral erotica and these book will be available. Jenna’s Journal is an example of a book that celebrates moral erotica. In this story, Jenna writes her sexual fantasies in her journal. Her husband discovers the journal and the sparks fly. This novella celebrates marriage sex.
Christians face some real problems in finding moral erotica:
One problem is that most of the stories and accounts of human sexuality in today’s erotica have little imagination for the marriage bonds between one man and one woman. In fact, many times monogamous sexuality is depicted as dull and boring.
Another problem is that Christians have not embraced positive attitudes toward creating and reading stories and accounts of hot marriage sexuality. That is because erotica is often lumped into the sinful, pornographic “lusts of the flesh” category of culture. There are not many writers or resources that create moral erotica.
It is true that many Christians have viewed sexuality as suspicious and something that they should not talk about. This is despite that fact that the Bible itself is positive about marriage sexuality and the promotion of hot monogamy. This has largely removed the Christian witness in the area of sexuality to a litany of “dos and don’ts”. Moral erotica is rare in Christian circles.
Another problem is that the large amounts of pornography and immoral erotica on the web has reached such a critical mass that this has become a stumbling block for the imaginations of a large number of Christians. Many Christians do not buy and support authors of moral erotica, they support immoral erotica because they have been conditioned to consider this erotica as hotter than erotica in the marriage relationship.
Marriageheat.com has uncovered the need for moral erotica for Christians. Thousands of Christian married couples have been encouraged and helped by reading moral erotica that supports hot monogamy. MarriageHeat is seeking to publish short stories and publications that build the culture of marriage sexuality. The big test will be will Christians support the building of moral erotica into a supported enterprise? Will some of our authors write erotica and will people actually buy it? Critical mass is very important and necessary for this witness to be spread. Will stories like “Jenna’s Journal” be bought so that more stories can be written?
The opportunities for bringing a Song of Solomon world view back into our world is upon us. Writers and readers must support this new opportunity for Christians to reclaim marriage sexuality. I encourage everyone to support the authors who write moral erotica by buying their books. I challenge authors to write moral erotica. The gift of sexuality is designed to be in marriage, lets promote that where ever we can.
