Sex is everywhere. It's used to sell the most unusual range of products and services. Sensual images and stories inundate our daily lives. Sex promises us one of life's greatest pleasures as well as a taste of transcendence. Yet nearly half a century ago, C.S. Lewis observed that men and women have an "ever-increasing appetite for ever-decreasing pleasure." Despite all the venues available for sexual expression, the deeper fulfillment we crave is growing even more elusive.

Sex has become everything and nothing. The late Allan Bloom captured best the challenge Boundless readers face in a highly sexualized culture. In The Closing of the American Mind, he wrote:

There is a long road to adulthood, the condition in which they are able to govern themselves and be true mothers and fathers. This road is the serious part of education where instinct gives way to choice with regard to the true, the good and the beautiful. Puberty doesn't provide man, as it does other animals, with all that he needs to leave behind others of his kind. This means that the animal part of his sexuality is intertwined in the most complex way with the higher reaches of his soul, which must inform the desires with insight.

Boundless articles on sexuality seek to reconnect sex and the soul -- our desires with a love of the true, good and beautiful. We step into the confusion and disappointment of soulless sexuality with a vision for restored purpose and fulfillment for what our hearts crave.
