The Spiritual Connotations Of LGBTQ And The Inherent Health Issues
LGBTQ And The Inherent Health Issues
Do not just think about what a certain pleasure will give, think about what it will take out of you – Ryan Holiday author of Discipline is Destiny.
Such sentiments become absolutely cogent especially on matters that border on the basic means of heredity actualization: which is coupling. Being straight is not only a healthy act of exchanging conjugal pleasantries, but a means of perpetuating humanity.
While abstinence is avoidance, restraint is a responsibility both of which gear toward self-discipline and a healthy living. No one is even condemned from practising normal (vaginal) sex which is the only vehicle through which procreation is attained. Even priests are called to be partakers of God’s only natural gift that gives back. Everything morality, therefore, equates to normality whose subset is healthy living. Hence, one can choose to abstain or restrain from everything immoral that negates self-discipline and healthy living of which homosexuality is one. Homosexuality is a component of LGBTQ that is gaining traction in the new way of life globally and the Church is seemingly and paradoxically shying away from taking a strong stand on it or – worse still – encourage it.
Some prelates’ sentiments border on giving this unnatural act clean bill of morality, seemingly, without the remotest vestige of ego that church is the citadel of divinity. It is one thing to pray for sinners as well as loving them; while it is quite another to embrace the sin itself and champion for its recognition as a way of contemporary lifestyle!
Based on the aforementioned, neither the efficiency of anal sex is scientifically supported as rewarding, nor its efficacy biblically sanctified as enjoyable and divine. If anything, it foments several underlying health risks which I would not hesitate to mention in the subsequent paragraphs.
Firstly, it is one thing to have a running stomach, but quite another to be saddled with faecal incontinence problem. While a running stomach could sometimes be restrained, the faecal incontinence is nightmarish because of the wobbling rectal tissues. The rectal tissues surrounding the anal opening are not in any way elastic, making it susceptible to tear. Once it’s torn, it loses its grip on the stools even after healing. God’s creation is such a masterpiece, so much so, that its organs and systems are capable of self regulating. Unlike anus, there are naturally occurring vaginal fluids that are involuntarily secreted at the arousal moment in readiness for the reception of Mr. Dick. This great guy will actually enjoy the unguarded up and down thrush because of the reduced friction by the fluids coupled with the elasticity of muscles surrounding the female gonad (vagina). On the contrary, subjecting anal muscles to such rigorous exercise causes more damage than good to the body.
Secondly, akin to the preceding point, anus is closer to rectum that acts as a holding area for bacteria even as it holds faeces in readiness for excretion. Anal sex is therefore, a vehicle through which harmful bacteria could be transmitted. Urinary tract infections do come about through such manner together with other more serious bacterial infections.
Lastly, engaging in anal sex encourages sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) especially human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV is rampant because it comes in 40 different strains (species). Continued proliferation of HPV not only encourages growth of warts, but may turn malignant to a point of being cancer. Anal sex is more prone to HIV transmission than vaginal sex due to the friction associated with it that causes tear and hence body fluid exchange between partners.
Whether it is a spiritual or mental malaise, is for the public to assess or the partakers who may be better acquainted to inform us can volunteer; what seems obvious is that it comes as a result of the partakers depriving themselves of conscientiousness either through pressure from peers or pleasure of mare self-indulgence; in this case, drugs being a catalystic component.
Ours is a society that has traded self-control for self-indulgence, a situation that has served to not only overrun the purpose of love making, but to override sanctity and the ecstasy that is enclaved in normal sex. The excitement that gets us into the harnessing of abnormality over normality should be a recipe for the church to retrospect so as to salvage her position in the society if at all we still yearn to catch up with the saviour Jesus Christ in the symphonic trumpet of rapture.
You can now unanimously join me in agreement that love making is not just an existential issue or a trifling mundane escapade that can be tarnished through some orthodoxy. Apart from being divine, it ensures posterity only if practised within the confines of normality. Indulging in sexual abnormality is an assault to the body and detrimental to health.
