There is a tendency to think of sex as something degrading; it is not, it is magnificent, an enormous privilege, but because of that the rules are tremendously strict and severe.
--FRANCIS DEVAS
It is with our passions, as it is with fire and water. They are good servants but bad masters.
--SIR ROGER L’ESTRANGE (1616–1704)
Sex is a very holy subject.
--GEDDES MACGREGOR (1909– )
Sex is the ersatz or substitute religion of the twentieth century.
--MALCOLM MUGGERIDGE (1903–1990)
Sex, like all else between human beings, is never perfect.
--THEODORE ISAAC RUBIN
The passions are like fire, useful in a thousand ways and dangerous only in one, through their excess.

IN CELEBRATION OF SEX
Song of Songs, one of the books in the Bible, is as a celebration of love as God intended it to be experienced by a man and woman. It is a collection of love poems that tell a story a --drama, telling the story of King Solomon falling in love with a girl from one of Israel’s northern villages. He meets her while traveling incognito, returns to the capital, and later returns in splendor to carry her back to Jerusalem.
It contains the alternating speeches of the beloved (the bride) and lover (Solomon), and infrequent refrains spoken or sung by a chorus of her friends.
This structure helps fit together the story told in the book:
Song 1-2:7 The bride longs for her bridegroom. They meet and praise each other.
Song 2:8-3:11 As their love grows, the bride praises the groom, using figures in nature.
Song 4:1-5:1 The lover comes and praises the bride.
Song 5:2-6:3 The lover has gone away and the bride expresses her longing for him.
Song 6:4-8:14 The lover returns, the marriage is consummated (Song 7:1-8:4), and the happiness of the couple celebrated.
