Christian Sexual Sacrifice

According to Christianity sexual purity is a treasure that should be closely guarded and highly valued. The Christian teachings proclaim that remaining pure is an act of honoring God, that every Christian should do. The gift of sex according to Christians should only be given to the spouse after and throughout marriage. However, sexual purity can be restored when one confesses their sins to God. Christians are taught to fight any and all forms of sexual temptation to uphold the values of purity.
Buddhism, in stark contrast, does not subscribe to an eternal god. Sex is not linked to any higher power or Supreme Being. Its uses focus mostly on personal pleasure and the pursuit of happiness. There is no concept of sex as a sin in Buddhism.

Rather, the adherents regard themselves as followers in pursuit of the four noble truths.
Sexual education from the Christian view starts early, usually with parents teaching their children about the differences between their bodies. This assists by providing a smooth transition as the subject of sex becomes more complex with age. Children are also taught in schools and the church. Many parents neglect this duty which leads to children receiving distorted information from peers and the media.
In Buddhism sex education is fairly open. The principle followed by Buddhists known as the middle way, doesn’t condone extreme Puritanism nor is it a proponent of promiscuity. Parents are the main source of information for their children. The public schools and most of society do not openly talk about the issues of sex.
From the perspective of the two faiths, there are observable similarities in how they both advocate for responsible sexual behavior. Christianity obtains its sexual doctrine and ethics from a higher power. With regard to Buddhism, sexual issues are just a way of life, and not necessarily orders from a supreme being.
