Citing companionship, closeness
and intimacy as people’s biggest
emotional desires, Dick Purnell
progressed into his speech by saying
people want all the good things in life
but don’t know how to obtain them.
People stood along the wall, sat in
the aisles, and crowded onto the
stage behind him as he spoke on “Sex
and Its Need for Intimacy” Thursday
night in the Memorial Student
Center.
The Christian speaker defined in
timacy as a total life sharing. He said
everyone desires it but hesitates be
cause they fear pain.
“All of us have emotional scars
where we’ve been hurt by someone
of the opposite sex; therefore we are
afraid of the very thing we want-
intimacy,” said Purnell.
“There is no such thing as painless
love,” he said. “The closer you are to
a person emotionally the closer you
are to pain. Love is not a feeling but a
commitment and relationship that
has its ups and downs.”
Purnell said people are basically
self-centered and want to be number
one. He said that is the cause of re
lationship problems.
“We protect ourselves from pain
by building a wall around ourselves
for protection,” he said. “The only
problem is we keep people out and
ourselves in and we become lonely.”
Purnell said Americans are also
impatient. He said they desire ev
erything today or tomorrow and look
for shortcuts.
He said sex is the easiest and
quickest shortcut to becoming inti
mate with a person. He said people
enter into sex because they are look
ing for things to give them a thrilling
feeling. He said the more one has sex
the less thrilling and satisfying it is.
“Once you go all the way that is all
there is and there is no more,” said
Purnell.
“Sex in a relationship is not the
cement, it is the explosives. It des
troys a relationship,” said Purnell.
“We want so much to be close to
somebody but don’t want to wait to
fulfill all areas of our lives,” he said.
Purnell said people are made up of
five types of characteristics: physical,
emotiona, social, mental, and spir
itual.
He said when one characteristic is
overemphasized the others cry out
for fulfillment and dissatisfaction be
gins to gnaw at a person,
“1 believe in love and believe!
covers al 1 five areas of a person,”Pn ie ^
nell said.
Purnell was on a three-daysj
ing engagement and was sponson
