Sex in Christ, this precious gem I stumbled across, outlines, according to the authors, the stipulations of “Christian” sex.

The homepage explains the reasons for having anal sex before marriage, proclaiming that it preserves a woman’s “pure, unsullied maidenhead.”

It even makes a case for masterbation, fisting, and Christian pornography!

        This is mostly funny and noteworthy because the author is a relative
        and the recipient is a homophobic H&M employee who, obviously,
        knows and cares so much about politics that they still work at H&M.

3. “I wanted to buy you a drink but you nursed your glass of wine all evening.”
     I don’t know if I can be attracted to people who are not up to my
