People who believe what the Bible teaches about sexuality are sometimes viewed as killjoys, as those who won't let others have any fun. That's not it at all! We want people to have the most pleasure with the least regret. We want people to be more than beasts, more than dogs or donkeys. We want people to have more than physical trysts that cheapen, demean, and dehumanize. We want people to enjoy the comprehensive interpersonal union of soul and body in the exclusive, permanent, monogamous, life-producing covenant of marriage.
James M. Hamilton, "Song of Songs," pg. 61
