Sex comes from the human attic, not the basement.
an approach which does not hide sex under a veil of secrecy. Don't make it something wrong or to be embarrassed about. But rather like atomic energy which can be used properly or improperly.
The subject of sex deserves a thorough treatment. The first place to look is at Yaakov Emden's sidur. There he goes into great length about the idea that sex to bring children into the world has to be on the night of Shabat after midnight. And it is clear that the man and wife have to sanctify themselves in thought and action in order to bring holy children into the world. You can see that this treatment of sex is very different than what you find in the secular world.
Just like sex within the right framework brings holy souls into the world so when it is done wrong does the opposite. At any rate this deserves a longer treatment than what i can do for it right now.
