In this monologue Dr. John A. King describes why he wrote his book Let's Talk About Sex. He says he was repeatedly asked questions about sexuality that pastors, counselors, friends, or parents could not answer honestly or were too hesitant to address. The book is intended to fill that gap by providing candid answers, especially in a culture that is both highly sexualized and deeply conservative. King emphasizes the need to examine what the Bible actually says, compare it with real‑world experience, and seek common ground without imposing unwarranted interpretations. To cover a wide range of topics, he gathered contributions from people of diverse backgrounds, creating a collection of perspectives. His ultimate goal is to spark conversation, encourage readers to think critically, ask their own questions, and find personal answers. He invites listeners to email him or connect online for further discussion.

Chapters

When I first wrote Let's Talk About Sex, I did so out of a need. I kept on having people ask me questions that either their pastor or their counselor or their friends or their parents just weren't prepared to answer honestly or unable to answer honestly. So really the whole book is written to answer questions that other people are just too scared to or too hesitant to. I'm surprised at how much of our view of sexuality is taken out of a very conservative culture in a time where sex is so prevalent. People are just too concerned or too conservative to deal with it honestly and openly. So my attempt with the book was to start a conversation with people. Look at what the Bible does say, look at what real-world experience is, and then try and find the common ground and not impose upon the Bible what's not there. And I find a lot of people do that based upon their preferences or what they're comfortable with. They seem to be uncomfortable to say, well, this isn't in the Bible, so I really can't have an opinion on that. What I've tried to do is come up with some guidelines and outlines for you. Now, I've drawn on a lot of different people from a lot of different backgrounds to try and answer the questions, questions that I might not have had particular knowledge or experience in, or rather questions that they were better suited to answer. So it's a collection of works from different people, and I hope above all things that it's a catalyst for you. You start to think, you start to ask, you start to drill down yourself and try and find your own answers for the questions that you're asking. Anyway, hope you enjoy it. Drop me an email. I'd love to hear from you or hop online, catch up. All right, thank you.
