There's pr0n in the Bible! (kind of)

One preacher's message: Have hotter sex - America Unzipped - MSNBC.com

I realize that a lot of people outside of mainstream Christianity would probably find it strange that ANYONE Christian would encourage "hotter sex" in any way, shape or form, but it's not unheard of. In fact, there's a whole book in the Bible that is essentially three-thousand year old (for a lack of better words) literary porn. Example, if I may:

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—
for your love is more delightful than wine.

3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;
your name is like perfume poured out.
No wonder the maidens love you!

4 Take me away with you—let us hurry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers.


That's from Song of Solomon 1:2-4. Here's a few others, just for shits and giggles:

3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest
is my lover among the young men.
I delight to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste. (SoS 2:3)


7 Your stature is like that of the palm,
and your breasts like clusters of fruit.

8 I said, "I will climb the palm tree;
I will take hold of its fruit." (dude!)
May your breasts be like the clusters of the vine,
the fragrance of your breath like apples,

9 and your mouth like the best wine. (SoS 7:7-9)


Well, I could go on. But I think you get the gist of it. The Bible has one book completely devoted to innuendo (of the romantic sort), even though it's only eight chapters.

I wonder how many people are truly aware of this little gem...
