Thank you for your comments.
I agree with your lovely statement that "respect, honor, loyalty and affection are deep expressions of love."
Isn't sexual intercourse also "affection" and "deep expressions of love"? Is sexuality and the above values mutually exclusive of one another?
Doesn't painting "sexual intercourse" as primarily a biological function take away from it's sacredness and part of the vitality of existence?
Do we say that eating is just a biological function "fundamental to species survival, it wanes in the latter years of life"?
With respect, I don't think there is any one-size-fits-all when it comes to sexuality. I'm going on 64 and my sexuality seems to be gaining momentum as I grow older.
The Divine Principle itself teaches that "physical body" "give and take" is essential for the "vitality elements" necessary for spiritual growth.
The Divine Principle also states "love is the source of life, the key to happiness, and the essence of the ideal to which all beings aspire." It's talking about the sexual attraction between Lucifer and Eve in this section.
Do we think God's sexuality "wanes" as He/She gets older?
Is it wise for us to give young people the idea that a vibrant, alive and exuberant sexual life is somehow less than, or unprincipled?
Sexual wisdom doesn't have to be anti-sexual, does it?
Thank you again.
Respectfully and with love.

I want to say more about this series of anonymous articles, but I want to wait until the end.
