Description
Whether you are married or single, having great sex or no sex, your sexuality is inseparable from your spirituality.
Many Christian women are confused and even devastated by the area of sexuality. In the silence of the church, they are left to sort through harrowing experiences like sexual abuse, exposure to porn, raging temptation, homosexual thoughts, and betrayal in marriage-all on their own.
Having nowhere to go to ask the hard questions about sexuality can be spiritually dangerous. Women need the truth.
In 25 Questions You're Afraid to Ask About Love, Sex, and Intimacy, Dr. Juli Slattery addresses some of the most common questions women have on sexuality from a biblical perspective, such as:
- What if I don't like sex?
- If I'm single, how far is too far?
- Is ______ok in the bedroom?
- How do I get past my shame?
- What if I want sex more than my husband does?
These are the type of questions that thousands of women have been asking Dr. Slattery. She answers them with rare candor, grace, and wisdom.
We desperately need God's perspective on sexuality. And fortunately, the Bible has a lot to say on the topic. Some of it might surprise you.

Clever, insightful and taking a stand without being offensive.
This book is written from the female perspective for women, but men can gain some valuable insights there, too.
While these days the topic of sex is included into the Christian debate, there still are lots of misunderstandings about it-because this is a very emotional and private matter, because sex is compartmentalized and not being considered as a part of the whole picture of an individual Christian life and maybe because simply not enough (or not deep enough) understanding the biblical message.
Sex, when within marriage, is beautiful and holy. But that does not mean there will be no troubles! And that does not mean that the singles are not sexual beings yearning for intimacy, too!
Dr. Slattery takes 25 questions (not required to be read in the given order) and tackles them honestly and wisely. The chapter generally takes 6-8 pages, so the answers can not cover every aspect of every given issue (my rare complaint here, as I need more elaboration for some topics), but the authoress works hard in giving the frank, if maybe unpopular, but wise insights and answers.
And I like very much that she shares the Bible-based stand on homosexuality.
While I would like to have more issues covered and some of the issues here tackled more thoroughly, I get that this book is based on another approach. And I very much appreciate the insights and (practical) wisdom here.
Recommended read for any Christian female (or even male).
