LISTEN TO THE PLUGGED IN SHOW, EPISODE 272
Sex is a gift. God designed husband and wife to draw closer together via physical intimacy. That form of contact allows greater emotional and even spiritual intimacy as well. Sex is intended to be special. In some ways, it’s designed to be sacred.
But the entertainment industry doesn’t always see it that way. On one hand, it can tell us that sex is meaningless—a pastime to enjoy as often as possible and to quickly forget. On the other, it can tell us that sex is the most important thing: Our sexual identities define us. Our sexual preferences shape us. Sex is the answer to all of our problems, the cure to all our woes. And if you’re not having it, well, you’re not experiencing life itself.
How did we get to this point? Where sex is simultaneously secularism’s holy grail and as throwaway as a used candy wrapper? And what can we—especially we parents—do to combat those lies the culture is tossing our way? We dive into that tricky conversation today with Jonathan McKee, Adam Holz and Bob Hoose.
And once we’re done talking about the games that culture’s playing with our sexuality, we’ll turn our attention to another sort of game: the video game. The year will see plenty of big titles hit the digital shelves. Mr. Hoose and I will give you a preview of what you and your family might be playing this year—and what you might not want to touch.
Do you have any video games that you’re looking forward to playing? Are you tired of the games that Hollywood plays with sexual morals? We’d love to hear your thoughts. Talk to us on Facebook and Instagram. Leave us a message on our Plugged In Show homepage. Or send us an email at team@theshow.com. Join in the fun.
And be sure to join us next week when we talk about Paddington in Peru.
