She probably was not interested, just liek an adult is not interested in playing with rattles and toy trucks.”

No, but adults ARE interested in sex. God made them that way. I'll betcha Joseph was interested. Too bad for him.

I'll bet he was pretty unhappy after God told him to not be afraid to take Mary AS HIS WIFE, when he found out what came with the package (according to Catholicism).

Joseph should be considered a better saint than Mary after finding out she had a headache every night of their married life.

Weird. Just weird. No wonder Sigmund Freud came up with the theories he did in the fertile ground of Catholic Vienna.

Catholicism just can't make up its collective mind what to do concerning sex. It's good, except when it's bad, except when it's good again.....

The recent priest sex scandals would bear that out.

Yes, and in my 3061 I explain why:

We enjoy sex because through marital sex we learn something about God Who is the Creator (and sex creates) and Who is Love (and sex loves). But Mary learned about God directly and not through model substitution of sex. She probably was not interested

This is not a unique circumstance. Monks and nuns are not interested in sex either, and for the same reason.
