Should Sex Education Be Taught In Church?

Tonight on Paula Zahum's show on CNN, I witnessed a clip about a preacher and his wife, telling followers that sex is okay to have. A clip on this subject as it was being delivered by these two individuals was shown, and her two hosts, a Christian male, and female Moslem asked to give their opinion oabout this clip.
The Moslem woman felt that sex education is good, even in a church situation, if people are encouraged to abstain from it until marriage. And that even though it is a natural act, it also has to be indulged in responsibly.

The male Christian felt that the preacher is using this message as a ploy, to lure people to his church. And he does not have a building either to do this work. And he feels that this is only a fad that will pass, like so many others before.
This Christian failed to realize that Jesus never had any building either, when he was conducting his ministry. He used the highways, byways, open pastures, or anywhere that people will listen.

However, they both felt that marriage is the place where sex should be indulged in, and experienced for what it is, even the pleasure aspect.

CONCLUSION:

Incidentally, historically marriage is sanctioned by the church between two people. A male and a female. But it developed legality several centuries later as a necessity, to ensure commitment, legal rights after one party dies, custody rights for the children, property ownership, titles, and other personal belongings of the deceased.
