Oh, yes, it’s called sex – at least that’s what we call it. Some wonder whether it’s an invention, or a discovery? If it is an invention, who invented it? If it is a discovery, who discovered it?

If the Bible’s account of creation is correct, which I believe it is, then it’s accurate to aver that God is its unique inventor or creator.

It’s so wonderful to know that God knew in advance what His creatures would like and enjoying doing.

God is good at creating; man is good at discovering. God created fire; man discovered it. He also created electricity; Benjamin Franklin is believed to have discovered it. He created the Law of Gravity; Newton discovered it. He created the moons of Jupiter; Galileo discovered them. God created sex and, again, man thinks he’s the specific discoverer. Some might be tempted to credit Adam and Eve with its discovery. They may want to express kudos! to them for the painstaking effort they might have applied in discovering this thing called sex. I don’t buy it, though.

One paramount reason why I refuse to recognize Adam and Eve as the discoverers of sex is that other creatures engage in the practice – they do have sex. Call it mating, if you wish. Elephants and Snakes and crocodiles have sex. Crabs and crayfish and scorpions have sex. Birds and flies have sex. Worms and snails have sex. Even mosquitoes and ants have sex. Did the so-called lower-class animals learn about sex from man, or did man learn about it from animals? If no group learned about it from the other, then can we say that they are all discoverers? Or, perhaps, no discoverers?

I am aware that man is fond of taking credit for almost every good thing, or seemingly good thing, in life, but I am not convinced, and will never be convinced, that man discovered sex. In fact, it could be argued that man learned about sex from animals, since they were made first.

If we ascribe the discovery of sex to man, we may be assuming that he discovered it and all the other animals learned it from him, which I believe have no basis in fact. Fish didn’t learn about sex from man. Every creature knows instinctively that it is supposed to engage in this wonderful practice called sex, and they do it without attending any institution called the University of Sex.

But, actually, if sex were a discovery, I would strongly contend that it is the most significant discovery ever. I know some will hiss at me for this, but I say this because almost every creature not only practices sex, but also recognizes its power and usefulness in life. No other discovery enjoys such qualities.

Man may feel superior to dogs and monkeys in terms of where he lives and what he does, for example, but he can certainly not bluff dogs and monkeys, and not even flies or mosquitoes, about sex. Man has sex. All other animals have sex. By the way, plants have sex, too. Hmm! This thing called sex!

Anyway, whether sex was discovered or not, and whether it was discovered by man or not, the point to remember is that it’s one of the most significant aspects of God’s creation, and one of the most naturally significant activities of man. It’s usefulness and uniqueness are overwhelming.

Reasons for Having Sex
God never creates anything for nothing. That’s why I don’t accept the notion that the human body contains so-called vestigial organs – organs that have no functions on the body. I believe that God created sex for important reasons, many of which we may be ignorant of. However, we do know a few from experience and observation.

First of all, sex is the paramount means of reproduction. Living things have to reproduce to sustain their kinds, and sex affords them that possibility. If Adam and Eve had refused to have sex, perhaps we would not be here. People need to have sex to sustain the human race.

Second, sex is a kind of medicine or therapy. It relaxes the body. It is said that frequent sex enables one to sleep better. Besides, it helps to reduce tension or depression. When a person is stressed or depressed, it pays to have sex because it cures or reduces the stress or depression. Moreover, it’s believed that sex helps to relieve headache. Sex is also known to immunize the body against cold or flu, as well as provide it with warmth, especially during cold seasons. Yes, this thing called sex!

Third, sex serves as a peace formula – it settles disputes and manages conflict between a man and his wife, or a couple. Once sex occurs between a couple after a dispute, it is usually a sign that the problem has been solved. It helps partners to mend fences with each other. Yes, that’s the power of sex!

Fourth, sex is a unique form of exercise. The kinds of strains and movements one subjects his body to during sex help the body to burn some calories and keep it fit. In fact, it is said that thirty minutes of active sex can cause a person to burn 200 calories. Can you imagine? So, the more a person has sex, the fitter he becomes. In other words, sex improves his health. If one doesn’t have time to go to the gym or go jogging every morning, the best option is to turn to sex.

Fifth, it is said that sex ensures longevity. A lot of studies indicate that those who have sex regularly or actively live longer than those who don’t. One might want to consider why Methuselah lived about 969 years, and why Adam lived 950 years. If a person wants to live longer, let him have sex regularly. If he wants to die before his time, let him avoid sex.

Sixth, sex strengthens relationships. It has been proven that a relationship in which the partners willingly and happily have sex regularly is livelier and stronger than the one in which they refuse to sexually engage each other frequently. There is bound to be numerous problems in the latter – anger, quarrelling, unfaithfulness, etc.

Finally, sex is so essential and useful that the Bible advices partners not to refuse to have sex with each other. I Corinthians 7:5 says that partners should not deprive each other of sex. In other words, if lady’s partner wants to have sex, she should agree to satisfy his need, and if she needs sex, he, too, should be willing to let her enjoy herself. Isn’t I Corinthians 7:5 a wonderful Bible passage? Hmm! This thing called sex!

Indeed, sex is a wonderful activity. Although we don’t usually talk about it openly and freely, we know that it is something worth doing. Young people do it; old people do it. Human beings do it; animals do it. It is so satisfying and needed that many Catholic priests who publicly eschew it privately engage in it. Yes, this thing called sex!

Before publishing this article, I called my dad to hear his view on the importance of having sex regularly. He cleared his throat and remarked, “Son, haven’t you read Proverbs 31:3a, which says that you should not spend your strength on women?”

“Oh! Really?” I asked astonishingly.

Hmm! Let’s face it, folks. There’s something in this to think about.

	Lust to Sex Once again paul always bring forth things that he never contributes to WHY.    1. by the way there is two line when it comes to sex, one is the positive and negative.    2. (positive) when sex is used for our reproduction and maintain our family unit for the purposed made by God.    3. (Negative) when sex is used for COMMERCE and LUST, for example; PROSTITUTION and HOMOSEXUALITY.

	removed all hurdles Old married couple and the husband is rummaging under the bed where he finds a cardboard box containing two eggs and five thousand pounds.    He goes downstairs to the wife and says, "I've just found this box under the bed with two eggs and five thousand pounds, what's going on?"    "Well" she says "every time I was unfaithful to you, I put an egg in that box."  The old man weighs the situation up and thinks, "Two eggs after 50 years of marriage, I can forgive her that"    "O.K." he says and what about the five thousand pounds?"  "Well" she says, “every time I had a dozen, I sold them!!!!

	removed all hurdles Somali woman stoned for adultery    A 20-year-old woman divorcee accused of committing adultery in Somalia has been stoned to death by Islamic in front of a crowd of about 200 people.    A judge working for the militant group al-Shabab said she had had an affair with an unmarried 29-year-old man.    He said she gave birth to a still-born baby and was found guilty of adultery. Her boyfriend was given 100 lashes.    It is thought to be the second time a woman has been stoned to death for adultery by al-Shabab.    The group controls large swathes of southern Somalia where they have imposed a strict interpretation of Islamic law which has been unpopular with many Somalis.    'Lenient'    According to reports from a small village near the town of Wajid, 250 miles (400km) north-west of the capital, Mogadishu, the woman was taken to the public grounds where she was buried up to her waist.    She was then stoned to death in front of the crowds on Tuesday afternoon.    The judge, Sheikh Ibrahim Abdirahman, said her unmarried boyfriend was given 100 lashes at the same venue.    Under al-Shabab's interpretation of Sharia law, anyone who has ever been married - even a divorcee - who has an affair is liable to be found guilty of adultery, punishable by stoning to death.    An unmarried person who has sex before marriage is liable to be given 100 lashes.    BBC East Africa correspondent Will Ross says the stoning is at least the fourth for adultery in Somalia over the last year.    Earlier this month, a man was stoned to death for adultery in the port town of Merka, south of Mogadishu.    His pregnant girlfriend was spared, until she gives birth.    Last month, two men were stoned to death in Merka after being accused of spying.    President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, a moderate Islamic, was sworn in as president after UN-brokered peace talks in January.    Although he says he also wants to implement Sharia, al-Shabab says his version of Islamic law would be too lenient.    The country has not had a functioning national government for 18 years.  Story from BBC NEWS:

	Revolation#21 6He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

	an affairs Affairs are not always premeditated; sometimes they just happen. Affairs can happen almost anywhere. They happen with people you meet at work, people you meet at the gym, or people you meet at the local bar. They can happen with people you have known for years, or with someone you have just met. The nagging question in my mind is, "Why do affairs happen at all?"    I am sure you have all been at a social gathering, like the office Christmas party, where the wine is flowing freely, people are flirting with one another, and everyone is having a grand old time. With this freely flowing alcohol, everyone is feeling great after that third or fourth drink, when all of a sudden, the flirting gets a little out of hand. One thing leads to another, and before you know it, two co-workers end up in bed together. It could be just a one-night stand, or it could be the beginning of an affair
