So, how often do we pass judgment before we have all the facts? Like, all the time. I just had a conversation regarding someone's opinion about the Vagina Monologues who didn't have all the facts because they didn't see the show, only read the critical reviews. I was even put out and offended when I read the reviews...and not to say they were not correct, they were. However, they missed the point. The whole premise of the message of the Vagina Monologues was about women being sexually abused and assaulted. A couple of monologues were for comic relief. Were they vulgar? Perhaps, that is if you consider talking about orgasms as vulgar. Religious of any sort? Definitely not. Pure female human sexuality, as it is in today's western culture. For adult audiences only.
Frankly, I think expressing our sexuality openly is a sign of maturity. But some would like to keep it sacred. Surely, our intimacy is sacred, created by God for our pure pleasure and oneness. It is indeed the most spiritual human interaction of our existence. I can not wait to meet the Creator of this wonderment face to face and thank him for such a beautiful act of love and oneness. What an amazing God to give us such an amazing gift!! It is sacred, for sure. However, when it's stolen, used against women and girls, hated, and made more than dirty then we have a real problem. Women have been abused and assaulted sexually and then are told such things are not to be talked about, therefore we suffer in silence. Breaking the silence is what the Vagina Monologues are all about.
Breaking the silence, however it's done, is always good.
I just saw this and I am so proud of you my friend. We are healed so we can bring healing and sometimes healing looks like a ripping good time laughing about orgasms with your female friends. I don't know of anything more sacred than community and true friendship.
