Absolute sex - Definition

Absolute sex is a religiously inspired vision of true love between husband and wife in the Unificationist tradition, as declared by Rev. Sun Myung Moon.

"In your relationship as husband and wife do you want to just sit and look at one another and smile? Or would you rather have a love relationship that is so tight, so sweet, so strong that you would become totally one like a rubber ball, and roll around together? Once you become totally one and begin rolling together like a round ball, when you roll too fast you will shout and scream and God will hear you and come down and enjoy watching you. Interesting? Exciting?"

—Sun Myung Moon, from The Palace of True Love

The concept of absolute sex has both theological and practical aspects. In order to restore free sex, a man and woman ought to seek God's Blessing on their union first, and refrain from sexual relations unless and until that Blessing is given. But within the marriage relationship, the man and woman actually have complete freedom.

A physical advantage is that the couple needn't worry about contracting a sexually transmitted disease if they are faithful to one another (see abstinence education).

The movement advocating absolute sex is in conflict with the worldwide advocacy of sex as mere pleasure and/or a source a enormous profit:

Sustaining movements against AIDS opens a great business for condom and media companies. It is the best time to promote the 'culture of absolute sex' instead of 'safe sex culture' through effective use media and ICT opportunities. I believe, sex is the most divine and joyful act of this universe by which human being come to the world. It should be practiced with its absolute standard. But nowadays it is contaminated and negatively influenced by the unethical media influence and too much emphasis on physical desires.
