the bible might not explicitly prohibit premarital sex, but it does describe sex as a spiritual act – and this is backed up by science

the bible uses the phrase “the two become one flesh”. perhaps this implies premarital sex is reserved for two people becoming one in marriage, but perhaps two becoming one is just the union of souls. sex is sacred. this post isn’t examining the morality of premarital sex, but rather illustrating the sacredness of sex.

“Casual sex is one of the biggest scams of the 21st century. During sex, your body releases oxytocin, which makes you subconsciously bond with your partner. Brief attachments with many people leave you feeling empty. It also damages your trust, empathy, and ability to feel intimacy.”

This message taps into a deeper truth about human connection. While culture may promote freedom and detachment in relationships, biology often doesn’t cooperate. Oxytocin—the so-called “bonding hormone”—is released during sex, and it plays a powerful role in emotional attachment, particularly in women, though it affects all genders.

When intimate moments are treated as casual, the body may still interpret them as meaningful, leading to internal conflict. Over time, repeated short-term encounters can blunt a person’s capacity to form deeper trust and emotional intimacy. It’s like overusing a spiritual or emotional glue stick—eventually, it stops sticking.

This isn’t a moral condemnation—it’s more of an invitation to reflection. If we treat intimacy as sacred, it can serve as a bridge to lasting emotional fulfillment, rather than a fleeting pleasure followed by emptiness. True connection often flourishes where vulnerability, trust, and commitment are honored.
