How do most Christians (The Church) deal with sex?

I would add that it is precisely because of that 'don't even mention the word sex' attitude that it becomes taboo and a 'forbidden fruit' in our minds, which shapes our perception of sexuality from an early age.  I come from a very conservative family in which sexuality was NEVER discussed in any way, shape, or form.  I never heard it being discussed in church in any way either.  I firmly believe that this is one of the reasons that made my discovery of porn such a strong and unhealthy impact in my life. 

I dont mean to raise a dead thread here but I think the overall topic in discussion here is important. This taboo attitude is indeed prevelant and I believe it comes out of a well placed desire to protect and safeguard the children and brethren in churches, but the approach taken utilizes the security by obscurity method which often fails rather than security by education (excuse the phraseology here I work in computer and network security). I know my foray into lust and pornography was started in innocense and curiosity and I am sure many people would concur. I believe that an open healthy biblical based approach to educating families (i.e. pastors etc educate parents whom then educate their children) is the best route to go in terms of keeping people pure and morally upright. If people, epsecially children, are taught about sex and relationships in a biblical fashion and shown how wonderfull it was intended to be in the appropriate context of marriage and that it is a physical manifestation of the love you have for your spouse coming after true spiritual and emotional connection, rather than having this impression that sex is just for procreation and that is it otherwise it isnt spoken of or mentioned then I think you will find many less people in the situation and going through the struggles we are now. And in the event that people are in this situation (and there is no denying that sin is and will still drag many down) then they will have grown up and been fostered in an open and caring environment where the effects can be mitigated starting sooner rather than it being hidden out of shame (that is what taboo yields ... taboo subject are considered so shamefull that whne one finds himself in one he doesnt want to even mention it). Openness and transparency has seldom truly hurt anyone while deciet and skeletons in the closet often come out to bite.
