The Ninth Sin Is Lack Of Sexual Intimacy

Mother Nature gave us sex organs for a purpose. She gave them to us so we can use them. It is not a sin to have sex, it is not a sin to want sex, it is not a sin to like sex. Sex is normal and natural.

Everyone should have sex. The only caveat is that when we have sex it needs to be with someone who has consented to it. It is important to know what sexual assault is so we don’t commit it.

Sexual assault is touching someone in a sexual manner without their consent. Any form of touch meant to convey sexual attraction that makes the other person uncomfortable is sexual assault; it's not about what you do. It's about how the other person feels when you do it.

Sex should also be with someone who is in your age group. Age is important. That’s why we keep track of it. We need to make sure sexual intimacy doesn't happen in situations where there is a power imbalance even if both parties agree to the sexual encounter. One of them may not know enough about power imbalances to say no.

Sex also has to be with another human being. Animals cannot consent to sex. It is a sin to have sex with an animal. It is a sin to have sex with a non human being.

The ninth sin is lack of sex is to remind us that we are allowed to have sex, to enjoy sex and to be sexual. It also reminds us that just because wanting sex is natural, it doesn't mean we coerce others into being intimate with us. If you want sex, then masturbate. It is not up to other people to fulfill your sexual desires.
