Driscoll begins his book by noting the immense tragedy of our sensual culture. The shame, guilt and embarrassment from pornography and masturbation has led to spiritual paralysis. By discussing the theological and practical ramifications of sexual perversion, Discoll seeks to make the Gospel pertinent to these issues.His starting point is looking at God's intention for sex and hence man's ability to image a Triune community (which without Eve, Adam would not had such a wonderful avenue in which to image God's intimate community). However, even after Eve is created and marriage is enjoyed by man (and God), sin enters the world and perverts everything good that God intended for marriage. Hence, what once had no shame is now stifled by every sinful pervertion.
