Solomon on Sex: Lessons on Love, Sex and Marriage from the Song of Solomon

by Kurt Trucksess

Sex dominates our identity.  Planted within us is a burning desire to passionately enjoy the opposite sex.  Unfortunately, for many, that burning desire is a fire raging out of control.The average individual has their first sexual experience at age 16.  One-third of all children are aborted.  Of the children not aborted, one-third are born out of wedlock.  More money is spent each year by Americans on pornography than the combined revenues of ABC, NBC and CBS.  10% of Americans admit internet pornography addiction.Since sex is out of control, the church often talks about sex as if it is an evil to be tamed rather than a pleasure to be enjoyed.  In church, when was the last time you heard sex portrayed in a positive light?Wouldn’t it be great if God gave us an instruction manual on how to enjoy sex to God’s glory?  Thankfully, he did!  It is a book of the Bible called, the Song of Solomon.  The Song of Solomon is a collection of short poems that give us windows into the relationship between King Solomon and his first wife, the Shulammite.In the Solomon on Sex book, we study this book line by line to unlock God’s plan for maximum sexual pleasure.We also answer thirty-two common questions on sex and marital intimacy.

[Jeffrey McDowell · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars. Basically, this book is a compilation of a 13 week sermon series on the book of Song of Solomon transposed into book format. It reads like sermon notes. However, the beauty of the book is that it delves into a biblical view of the beauty and joy of sex in marriage as opposed to the common belief that sex is "dirty." As the author notes, the Bible is the inspired word of God, and God put Song of Solomon in the Bible. He has something He wants us to learn from the book. The book also contains a helpful appendix with dozens of commonly asked questions related to sex and marriage answered in a straightforward and kosher way.

Much Needed Sermon in the Church

I found this series of sermons so helpful. Unfortunately, many churches will not be open minded enough to teach these lessons. This is a good book and I recommend you read it before you judge by the title. God's plan and purpose for sex in marriage is to be enjoyed.

This book provided me with a lot of guidance concerning marriage.

The author was very direct in answering questions we all had about sex and marriage from a biblical point of view, but were too afraid to ask.

It's dictation of his sermon series plus a Q & A from Internet it seems? Though some good information in there, like all of what I've read from Christian perspective on sex/marriage, it's focused on the male side of things not female. This was presented as both but I didn't see that it was both.
