WHEN SEX IS UNDERVALUED TO A COMMODITY

We undervalue sex by treating it like a commodity. This is what casual sex does, it treats sex like a commodity, and it does it in two ways. First it causes you to treat your body like a commodity. Our culture teaches us to view sex as something that’s simply physical, it’s a part of your natural physical desires. So, like food if you’re hungry, then eat. If you’re hormones are racing, then have sex.

We see this happing with the porn industry commodifying sex to profit off our sexual appetites.  The porn industry makes more money than pro basketball, baseball, and football combined. It makes more money than ABC, NBC, and CBS combined. It makes over $97 billion a year, which proves we’ve turned sex into a profitable commodity. 

But if sex is meant to be a commodity, meant to be simply casual and physical, then why does somebody cheating or committing adultery hurt so badly? If sex is meant to be simply casual and physical, then why wouldn’t you be okay with your spouse having casual sex with somebody else? The fact that it’d bother you tells you sex is more than physical, it’s emotional and spiritual. It’s two people becoming one flesh, two people mingling their souls together.

Its why sex is meant to be reserved for marriage, it’s because everything you have becomes one. It isn’t this is mine and that’s yours; it’s this is ours! It’s our income, our house, our family. Why? It’s because the two have become one, you’ve joined your bodies together, you’ve mingled your souls.

Sexual intimacy outside of marriage isn’t committed to that oneness, it’s committed to physical pleasure, which causes you to treat the human body like a commodity. But casual sex also causes you to treat your relationship like a commodity. It causes you to treat people like a product to be consumed and moved on from when you’re done. “Yeah, but what if we love each other?”

I’m not doubting your love for each other, I’m doubting your level of love and commitment to each other, because you might have given your body up sexually, but you haven’t given your life up fully. You haven’t fully committed to sharing all their problems, burdens, debts, flaws, and needs. You haven’t fully committed to saying the vows, to promising to love them for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health.

You haven’t fully committed your love and life to them maritally. You’re pretending to be married by giving your body up sexually, but you’re not married because you’re not giving your life up fully. You’re still holding onto the right to walk away from the relationship if they’re not meeting your needs. You’re willing to exchange your goods, but not your life.

You’re saying “I want the goods, I want the product, but I don’t fully want you, or everything that comes with you. I don’t want to fully commit my life to you.” Casual sex, sexual intimacy outside of marriage ‘undervalues’ sex, by treating your body and relationships like a commodity.
