Pastor Carnell Borden and his wife have created an online sex shop for married couples who need to spice up their intimacy. They sell sex toys, lubes, massage kits, books etc. with an emphasis on the teachings of the bible. Here's an article with some more information.
"We pray about things before we add them to our site," she says. "We live our lives very openly in front of Jesus, so we just kind of pray for direction about which way he would have us go."
When I took a look at their site, I felt kind of conflicted. In one sense, it's kind of unsettling that they only condone certain sexual practices but not others, but on the other hand, they're opening up a space for individuals of the christian faith to challenge the sex*** taboo (even if it's only for those who are married). In any case, I hope that they have inspired and continue to inspire individuals to embrace their sex***!
***I use the term sex to refer to any sexually pleasurable activity that includes but is not limited to heterosexual intercourse (ie: masturbation, oral stimulation etc. are all sex in my books).
