As you might expect, we here at SexIs are generally in favor of orgasms. We would be hard-pressed to think of an orgasm that would not make us at least smile. So when we saw that the Christianity Today blog for women posted yesterday about “The Cult of the Orgasm,” we were sure there was going to be something there for us to like.
The popular blog suspects that single Christian women are discovering vibrators.
“Though many of us are likely too shy or conscience-stricken to purchase a vibrator, masturbation has been a topic of debate among evangelicals, with some concluding that it’s an acceptable way to wait until marriage for sex (assuming sex requires a partner). How should Christian women respond to the vibrator trend and its broader message of sexual empowerment?”
Yes!, we’re thinking. And the writer went on to cite a number of ways in which a vibrator resembles a man, minus some of the more annoying features of many men.
However, writer and author Anna Broadway, in the end, comes down on the side of “God thinks it would be better that you not masturbate.”
And this makes us sad, because we’re just not conflicted at all about vibrators or orgasms. But we’re not the only ones here. How about it, readers?
