I hope you've got at least one pair of flame-retardent undies in with the edibles...FR's Morality Police Contingent should be here shortly.

ANY suggestion that sex can be just for fun sends them into a tizzy of Biblical quotations, screeds about EVIL, and cries for a resumption of the Inquisition.

I'm NOT exaggerating.

In any case, this is some funny stuff right here. God Bless 'Em I say!!!

I can vouch for that. I learned right here at FR that if you don't want children, you should never get married.

Sorry, Long Cut, but the idea that sex can be just for fun is a pagan idea, not a Christian one. The sexual act between husband and wife is much more than an orgasm race; it is a physical and spiritual joining that God intends to be used only in the context of family life. Focusing on the physical pleasure of the sexual act divorces the act from its spiritual context; having sex for pure pleasure, or for any reasons other than the ones ordained by God, is disordered and immoral. The Church teaches that it is a sin, the sin of Lust, one of the Seven Deadly Sins: “Lust is disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure. Sexual pleasure is morally disordered when sought for itself, isolated from its procreative and unitive purposes.” [See link below for source.]

God gave us the gift of sex for three reasons: first, to allow a man and a woman to become "one flesh", indivisible and inseperable; second, for purposes of reproduction; and third, for purposes of companionship, love, and family. Having sex just for the sake of experiencing pleasure is like eating just for the experience of tasting food. A person who eats for reasons other than nutrition is ultimately going to get sick. A person (or a civilization) that has sex only for fun is going to be spiritually sick.

I'm sorry if this message ruins your joy, but the idea that sex can be just another form of entertainment is pure poison. The destruction of traditional public morality starting in the 1960s has brough ruin and misery to millions of people. The Christian faith has always celebrated human sexuality as another way of glorifying God; to reduce it to a pathetic exercise in mutual masturbation is to dishonor both ourselves and Him.

These women need to reconsider their actions in light of traditional Christian morality.

Yes you are. And that's NOT an exaggeration.
