Preachers do not preach very often about sex.
In fairness, there are a lot of topics which need to be covered and only one Sunday a week. However, we should talk about it more. Our sex-saturated culture needs to hear what the Bible has to say about healthy sexuality.
In 1 Corinthians, Paul confronted two sexual sins taking place in the church: some saw nothing wrong with having sex with everyone while others saw nothing wrong with avoiding sex with their own spouse. Both mindsets were corrupting the church and injuring individuals.
Here is a sermon from 1 Corinthians 7.1-5. (If the video doesn’t work, click here.)

I am 68 years old and hearing about SEX in the pulpit is long over due. Many years of seeing relationships fail because their pastor just would approach this subject boldly. I appreciate your sermon Kevin for your insight to take on this taboo subject and portray it Biblical. I pray that this sermon is listened to more than once and forwarded to all our friends and family members all over the world.

Talking about sex in a sermon when there are young children and teens attending is inappropriate. It should be left for marriage counseling or sex education class.
Karen, We have children’s classes. As for teenagers, anything heard in this sermon should have long been told to the teenagers by their parents.
