Why so superficial?
Why do you think that most churches are so reluctant to discuss sexual topics from the pulpit except for in a very superficial way when the tv shows and the movies and the literature and the culture the church members live and function in are talking about these issues regularly? Aren't we pretending that a large part of who we are does not actually exist? How is it honest and truthful and Biblical to basically ignore something that is so much a part of our everyday lives? The Bible deals with it throughout. Why do you think most churches are so reluctant of publicly going there, even in a tactful yet relevant way? Why so superficial?
It's easier to "fit in" than to "stand out". Churches and leaders don't have any problem talking about things everyone is talking about, but if they're the only ones talking about it, then they are more reluctant.
I recently watched the movie "Doubt", with Philip Seymour Hoffman, where he played a catholic priest. When he preached on something "edgy" certain members of the congregation immediately wondered "Why is he preaching on this? He must be struggling with this..." That's more than enough reason for many people to stay quiet about issues they should be talking about.

Because to discuss SEX at church is consider unclean and not church. Yet men and women are in bondage and no one is helping them. The issue is many pastors are struggling with this issue so they are not sure how to address it when they don't have an answer or an outlet.
