Fairly regularly, I run into people that struggle in resolving their religious convictions with their sexual urges.  Sometimes, it’s apparent that their choice is to shut down the sexual side of their life.  Or at least to try to – in an effort that rarely proves both healthy and successful.

Having talked to the number of people I have, and having read as much as I have on the topic, I think that the struggle is widespread, deeply entrenched in myth, and so unnecessary.

I’m always refreshed to read stories of hope for the affected masses.  CNN published a piece from OPRAH.COM on this topic yesterday, which can be found here.

Church offers sex education program for adults (from OPRAH.COM)

The story chronicles the initiative of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) and the United Church of Christ (UCC).  The program is aptly named Our Whole Lives (OWL): Sexuality Education for Adults.  The PR director for one of the churches declared: “We see sexuality as a very important part of the human experience that is lifelong.  It is who we are in our core. We feel it has to be integrated into our spirituality because, for us, spirituality is about wholeness.”

Fantastic.

Instigating fear and ignorance in people about sex is a great way to control them, but it does them more harm than good.  It’s good to see churches choosing another path toward serving their congregations.

If you read the whole piece, you’ll see that the content in the course is very smart and sophisticated – not just for those who have been sheltered all their lives.

It’s a great start.  Maybe one day all religions will broadly embrace this approach.

I think the idea is fairly obvious:  design a refuge, an enclosure, that helps to protect lovers / sleepers from the distractions and annoyances of the outside world.  Make it wonderful to behold.  Make it even more wonderful to dwell within.  And offer it to a world starved for tranquility.

The creative minds at Lomme have done it. They’ve created a small and very intimate sanctuary. It combines light, sound, and massage therapies in a designed environment that enhances all the senses.

The form is designed to reduce the intrusion of outside noise.  A discretely built-in iPod and sound system allows the user to add relaxing sounds and music. The Lomme mattress is available with embedded massage functions that can be edited by the user. Surprisingly, the bed shell encloses an antimagnetic field that blocks ambient electromagnetic waves and radiation.

Making the experience even more exotic, the Lomme bed is equipped with lighting that can simulate sunrise and sunset. It really seems they didn’t miss a thing.

At 42,000 Euros, the Lomme bed is high end.  But if you’re on the market for a major investment in your intimate life, this could be it.

We desperately hope to be able to offer it to you!
