[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

I remember when I was in high school, I had this friend (an atheist) who literally thought that the Bible forbade people to have sex (even married couples).

Boy, would he be surprised to find out that the Bible actually commands married couples to have sex regularly and often (I Corinthians 7:3-5)!

Bible actually commands married couples to have sex regularly and often ................. Of course, you have to increase the size of the tribe for their own protection. They didn’t have to deal with a population of 6 Billion in those days. Unfortunately the greatest drive humans have is the sexual drive, its God’s/nature’s way of telling us to keep producing. If we lose that drive its time for another species to take over. Put 5 woman and one man alone on an island and I don’t think marriage would come into play.

I think the media has a strong hand in picturing married Christians as a bunch of stodgy virgins.

the less sex the better...it is meant to pro-create and enjoy it at the same time. It becomes perverted even in marriage when it is done just for pleasure. Just try having more sex more often and see how your wife will not respect you much for it and may even hate you.
