Some are rare (e.g. inability to achieve normal intercourse), some are rarer (sickness/hospitalization of one or both spouses) and one is so rare as to be singular (your wife is God's baby-mama.)

The Roman Catholic Church has turned the beautiful, blessed lady of Scripture into an asexual, frigid Jewish wife; who withheld her favors from Joseph for no rational reason.

1 Corinthians 7:1-40 ESV

... each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband.

For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does.

Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer;

but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

Catholics really have some SICK ideas about Mary and Joseph's NON-existance sex life!!!

So you don’t think Joseph was also chosen? Who do you suppose put the notion into Joseph’s head whilst he slept that it was ok to take Mary as his wife? It’s not possible that they mutually agreed on abstinence? It has to be that Joseph couldn’t keep his pants up and Mary was just denying him his marital rights?

You never answered me as to why this belief seems to get your panties in a serious wad. Why do you care so much? Why can’t it just be that scripture is silent on the issue because it doesn’t really matter in the whole scheme of Salvation and we should all be free to believe what we wish?

You did not respond to the point I made that abstinence from sex in marriage is --- not often--- but sometimes, rarely, appropriate:

Rare: because of inability to achieve normal intercourse,
Rarer: because of sickness/hospitalization of one or both spouses,
Rarest: because your wife is God's baby-mama.

That doesn't indicate there's something intrinsically wrong with marital sex. Far from it. It means that there can exist exceptional circumstances.

Or don't you think these are exceptional circumstances?
