"Let's Talk about Sex Baby"

"Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife and they were not ashamed"

I really don't understand it. Why the stigma about sex? It seems like it is such a fired up topic. It's like there is a shame stigma that everyone has attached to sex, and fighting that stigma is a way to rebel and express your individuality (just like most everyone else). The media uses sex and sexual issues to draw in consumers. Many times people who view themselves or want to be be seen as "counter cultural", "bucking the system", "being their own (wo)man", "fighting social acceptabilities", etc. attempt to do so with sexual issues. There seems to be this issue of shame when looking at sex that shouldn't or doesn't need to be there.
One of the things i find especially amusing when i talk to someone who has outspoken liberal views or listen to the liberal media and they attack Christians or the Bible by making it appear that Christianity & the Bible believe & teach that sex = sin. But that is far from the truth.

There is a world of information in these last three verses of Genesis 2. What happens when Adam and Eve meet for the first time? What is the reaction and response? How does this all play out? I am convinced that when God brought this yet unnamed creature to him, Adam was in awe and amazement . So here's how it plays out...
"He brought her to the man. And Adam said: 'This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh'" (1) He recognizes that she comes from and is wholly a part of him)
"She shall be called Woman because she was taken out of man." (2) He also recognizes that she is very distinct and different from him as well)
At this point we have a recognition / command "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall be one flesh" Thus sex becomes not just acceptable, but instruction and a command. "And they were both naked, the man and his wife and they were not ashamed." Sex is not a sin. The fact is that we have been designed and formed with sex as a part of our very core. Sex, in and of itself, is not a sin. In the proper context it has no need of shame. Of the stigma most people place on it.
