s/o "giving it up" poll

last post got me thinking, and i'm not in a talkative mood but i'm curious:

How do you feel about having sex with your husband?

Re: s/o "giving it up" poll

  • I realize my confession post made it sound like i don't like having sex with MH LOL. Not the case at all, I was annoyed that he slept until 9pm and then as he was getting up I was getting ready to go to bed, the timeing of it was annoying.

    I'm sorry if you thought i was getting at something like that about you - I really wasn't. i'm just genuinely curious how people see it.  see, it's something on my mind and i would NEVER assume someone is anti-sex unless that was - all the time - but i think most of us can agree we all have times we just want to go to sleep or something.  it's on my mind b/c we've been doing a series in sunday school on men/women and sex in marriage.  one of the topics is how the world seems to portray women as not wanting it as much as, at least I, and I'm sure many women, do want it.  

    i do know some women who don't want it much at all from their husbands, and i wonder how common that is or is not.

  • I was wondering where this came from! LOL  (My Nest sorts by most recent reply so this came before Grey's confession and I thought WTF?!)

    Your Sunday school sounds WEIRD if you discuss sex topics during it. Indifferent

    I actually get really irritated because MH will say he's a typical guy and that sex is almost always on his mind... but he rarely acts like it and if I show any inkling I'm in the mood, he misses it. LOL

  • oh no I wasn't offended or anything, just wanted to clarify.

  • I was wondering where this came from too.  Although I have to admit, the choices aren't really that fair.  Because I said I can easily be swayed because I'm not trying to get in my husband's pants every night, but it's not like he really has to "Sway" me all the time. 

    And, yeah, your Sunday school sounds weird to me too.

    well we're watching a video series made at a marriage conference by a hilarious pastor.  our church confronts issues that other churches are afraid to discuss.

    if you are a believer in God, you gotta believe he invented sex too!  :)

  • I answered based on how I've been feeling the last couple of weeks...which is completely different from how I usually feel.

    I believe God created man and woman and intended for them to be together (a la Adam & Eve)... including sex.  But it's not something I think should be DISCUSSED in church... that's just kind of creepy to me. LOL  (In a private, marriage counselling setting perhaps, but in a group with dozens of other couples?)

    IMO, it's a private matter.  Saying God intends for husband & wife to have sex isn't the same as saying He meant for entire congregations to DISCUSS it together. LOL  Seems a little too Swingtown to me!

  • well it's not like we are "discussing" sex amongst ourselves.  it's a video series, the pastor in our class says a few comments, but it's based on relationship and how that relates to sex, not positions and how freaky do you like to get, LOL.  that would be totally inappropriate!

  • I am still laughing at "take me" as an option.  LOL

    I couldn't agree more with what you said Paula! It all sounds a little too freaky for my liking...especially in a church setting!

    If sex were discussed in church I would go! I don't go because it is too stuffy and uptight. People are sexual beings and there is nothing wrong with discussing it amongst adults.

  • I must be a prude for not embracing the idea of discussing sex with 40-50 of my closest couple friends while staring at a cross. Tongue Tied LOL

    I am a prude right along with you!

  • I hope this doesn't make it into hot topics, my first response is alittle embarassing Embarrassed

    I feel like I am making that face a lot today!

  • Mandy, I nearly just spat out my water.  I had this mental image of you teaching Sunday school and saying "Today, kids, we're going to talk about Mommy & Daddy and their "special time together."  They'll often say they're taking a nap, but..." and like 30 7-year olds staring at you with the Indifferent looks on their faces! ROFL
  • HAHA...Paula you CRACK me up.  The only sex discussion we've had in sunday school was in the high school class and it was a series on Respecting your body as God's gift to you (which included a lot of things, one day was on abstinance, but another was on not drinking alcohol and another on not doing drugs).  We try not to talk about Mommy and Daddy's special naps.  ;)
  • I guess I see it differently than most of you.  I'm so happy we are getting good biblical information on sex. The bible discusses sex, so why shouldn't we discuss what it says about it in church?

    If you want to see part of it, (like I said it is more geared around the marriage relationship and how that affects the sex and so on) go to you tube and search for "tale of two brains" - it's so funny!  the whole thing isn't on there though, just parts.  this guy is hilarious!

  • I think I will happily continue to live in my bubble where Church and sex remain seperate....
