Holy Sex!: A Catholic Guide to Toe-Curling, Mind-Blowing, Infallible Loving

“Holy Sex!” What were you taught about sex as a Catholic? I know that I was taught that you must be married before you can have sex, and that the said sex brings about a baby, if the time is right. Certain family members told me that sex was dirty, which was really confusing. Times have changed since I was a kid. Times have changed big-time. I think, though, that many Catholics still have their own beliefs about when sex is right and when its not. For anyone who has any questions at all in his mind about any part of this topic, “Holy Sex” is a wonderful book to read.

Gregory Popcak seems to have done his research very thoroughly. Everything that he tells us in this book is what other Catholics and I have read about in past Catholic readings. Popcak brings a lot of humor and liveliness to his writings. This is very appreciated because everyone is always so serious about the subject of church and sexual relations. He tells us that even though we are Catholics and have certain beliefs, we can still have a lot of fun and pleasure in the bedroom with our partners, without feeling guilty as sin because of what we were told.

When you’re a kid and are told one certain thing about the subject of sex, usually that is what you believe until you either run across different theory, or just learn for yourself. This book can help with that. It can help straighten out all the confusions of sexual passion, as a religious person or any other person. It can help you realize that, even though you are a very religious person, you can still enjoy sex just as anyone else in the world.

I thought this was a really good book. I would only recommend this book for adults. I surely recommend it to adult married couples. I think they will get a kick out of this book. I don’t believe that young kids should be reading on this subject as of yet. Some of the words used in this book by Popcak were very simple words and sometimes he repeated things a few times, but otherwise, I give it thumbs up!
