Healthy Sexuality 305 Book Review / Critic
Liberty University
Spring 2011

Rosetta Melton
Introduction 2 From the beginning of time as we know it, man has been preoccupied with the act of sex and his own sexuality. In the Garden, Adam and Eve, after their consumption of the forbidden fruit their eyes were opened and they realized they were naked. Much to their shock, their sexual organs were exposed causing them to hide from God. The emotions of shame and guilt were their first response Adam and Eve expressed. God asked them ‘who told you were naked’.
God gave Adam & Eve fig leaves to cover their nakedness. From this point to now the stigma surrounding sexuality has remained mostly negative in most arenas, but our sexuality is a gift from God. During the period of creation, God created and it was good, this was also the same when God created man and women And God blessed them. There are approximately over a billion nerves in the human body and the penis possesses 4,000 nerves while the clitoris only has half as many as the penis. These statics are all estimates because it is impossible to accurately count how many nerve endings exist in a human body at one time. Our bodies are constantly changing, old nerves are dying and new ones are being formed and clustering together to transmit our senses. Our nerves give us a sense of expressions to feel love, joy, and sexual pleasure. Taking a walk through the park with your spouse, a stroll along the beach, holding hands as you two cuddle on the couch are good ways to have fun. Spending quality time together will allow you and your mate to feel free with each other and provide time to tackle barriers that make prevent you from being

    In Genesis, the story of Adam and Eve is set in the Garden of Eden. In the garden there was no sin, suffering or pain. Everyone was happy and had everything they wanted. The one thing God told Adam and Eve was to stay away from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and to not eat the fruit from that tree, yet that was too much to ask. “When the woman saw the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he also ate it” (Genesis 3:6). This sin had grave consequences such as “the eyes of both of them were opened and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig-leaves together and made coverings for themselves” (Genesis 3:7). Gene’s sin had similar results from when he shook the tree and Finny fell, his life changed largely. The impact of his actions struck him extremely hard and at once he became ashamed and embarrassed of what he did, just as Adam and Eve were of their nakedness so they…

    Adam 's sin, as recounted in the Book of Genesis is sometimes called in Hebrew (translated: the first sin of man, or Adam). The account in Genesis (2-3), implies that Adam and Eve initially in communion with God. God warned Adam not to eat the fruit of "the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" (Genesis 2:15-17). The serpent persuaded Eve, who in turn persuaded Adam, to disobey this commandment. After eating of the fruit, they realised the mistake they had…

    The story of Adam and Eve is one of the most culturally important and known stories in the Bible regarding the origin of mankind. It’s generally followed by Judeo-Christians but is also grasped by other religious views, though many tend to overlook minor key details that may alter the whole interpretation. First, God created a man named Adam to primarily tend to the garden he planted in Eden. There were many trees in the garden that happened to contain two special types of trees. God allowed Adam to eat from any tree he wished, except from one specific tree. Then, God created a woman to accompany Adam who automatically became his wife. The woman came across a serpent she claimed to have deceived her. In actuality, the serpent simply told her a fact that is later proven correct with the help of her temptation. After Adam and the woman both consumed fruit from the forbidden tree, they realized that they were naked and tried to hide from God. God came to find that Adam and the woman ate from the forbidden tree because they suddenly were full of knowledge. God punished the serpent, Adam, and the woman for their disobedience. He then banished them not as another punishment but to help them avoid temptation again. Within the controversial context of the story lie theoretical themes that can be analyzed by existentialism and the Post-Freudian psychoanalytic theory of eros, thanatos, and the Oedipal Conflict. The story can be viewed using the Oedipal Conflict as God plays the role of both the mother and father figure while Adam and Eve play the role of the rebellious children. Along with this conflict, the characters of the story demonstrate existentialism qualities and carry out actions that they are either eros or thanatos.…
