You’re missing the point about Abishag. She was to try to arouse King David sexually in order to have him rally his failing will to live. There’s a concept in traditional medicine called shumanitism. It’s considered a treatment for this sort of thing. So, no, it was definitely using sexuality (and King David was of course very highly sexed) for medicinal purposes.

“You’re missing the point about Abishag. She was to try to arouse King David sexually in order to have him rally his failing will to live.”

The scripture is painfully clear that she was nothing more than a glorified hot water bottle to keep a very old man warm....and NOT in the sexual manner. However, there are those perverse enough to suggest otherwise. Whatever, it certainly is NOT a sanction for polygamy. I think you have well named yourself in that your words are asinine.
