A Spirituality of Sexuality God put sexuality within us so that we might also create life and, like God, look

k upon what we have helped create, overflow with a joy that breaks us free from selfishness. One of the fundamental tasks of spirituality is to help us understand and channel our sexuality correctly Etymology of sexuality o Sex has a Latin root, secare meaning to cut off. We sense that we are incomplete, cut off, a little piece of something that was once part of a whole. Sexuality vs. Genitality o Sexuality as drive for love, communion etc. It is not good to be alone. o Genitality, having sex, is only one aspect of sexuality, although a very important one. Christian definition: the hungers want to make us co-creators with God For a Christian, sex is sacred. Sex,b y its very nature must be linked to a covenantal commitment that is all-embracing and permanent (e.g. marriage). Sex is an inner dynamic that will lead its partners to sanctity (if followed in fidelity). Lastly, sex always needs the protection of a healthy chastity (the appropriateness of any experience). Ultimately, everyone is sexually frustrated in that we all have sexual needs that can never be met, regardless of how much sex we have. Christian perspectives on how to deal with inconsummation: understand the time we are living in and how wide sexualitys hunger is, turn it to solitude, view sexuality incompleteness as solidarity with the poor, accept the inadequacy of our love so that its real power can show through.
