Sex on the other hand, in biblical ethics, is practically commanded for married couples as finalization of the act, God even struck Onan dead for he refused to do it, and "due affection" shall not be owed to your spouse, so if you wanna talk about marriage, sex is inevitable, because in marriage two must become one flesh.

Wait, I thought you said sex was all about a man selfishly coercing his wife into doing something that a woman can't possibly enjoy? Isn't that what you've argued here before? But now you say that it's "biblically commanded" and "inevitable" in marriage.

See, I don't think about "sex" an awful a lot, I've only weaponized it to ridicule the analogy of earthly marriage and heavenly marriage, that's all, and that is my intent. Let's skip sex, let's say, married couples have and raise kids, that's like an essential component of marriage's purpose, right? Having and raising kids? Do you do that with Lord Jesus?

So, if it's not something you can do with Jesus, then don't do it on Earth? I can't read a book alongside Jesus. Does that mean I should stop reading books?

And believe it or not, I personally don't covet sex, I've never imagined myself in bed with anybody, I don't wanna get myself and anybody else traumatized for the rest of our lives.

Uh, if you think it's impossible for a married couple to have sex without being "traumatized for the rest of your life," then, yeah, I think you're better off single.

Why is sex automatically "traumatizing" for married couples?

This is about justification of sex in marriage, not enjoyment. Enjoy it or not, that's a private matter up to each individual, who are you and I to judge?

Do you read your bible at bible study or church gathering? When two or more gathered in His name, He's in their midst. Therefore you CAN read alongside Jesus.

You should ask a lady for that. They're more emotionally invested and attached, and more likely to be traumatized if it doesn't go well.
 
Except defecation is a dirty AND shameful act that must be done outside of the camp,

Well if you REALLY want to play that game, I assume you have a personal digging tool with you at all times so you can bury your waste as prescribed in Deuteronomy 23? And if you somehow feel that defecating is shameful, why are you still doing it?

It is you who came up with this game Taking a dump is merely a phisiological need, it is shameful so we do it in private, and it doesn't involve anybody else; sex on the other hand is more of a want, not need which you can't survive without; most importantly it takes another person to fulfill your own want, calling it a "need" is modern corruption as the result of the "sexual revolution". Total false equivalence. Nice try.
 
Actually...... maybe he's NOT pooping..... that would explain a LOT....
Thank you for your concern, I've actually been suffering the opposite of that, loose stool at least once a day. Still false equivalence though, when you compare it to sex, unless you can have sex with yourself. Nice try.

Hey, good point. Then why do you say things along the lines of "women can't enjoy sex"? Is that a "judgment" or no?

Do you read your bible at bible study or church gathering? When two or more gathered in His name, He's in their midst. Therefore you CAN read alongside Jesus.

What about other books? :ROFL:

You should ask a lady for that. They're more emotionally invested and attached, and more likely to be traumatized if it doesn't go well.

Oh. More likely. And if it doesn't go well. OK. That sounds more reasonable, actually.

A few tablespoons of shredded coconut might help tighten up that loose stool.

And the only "false equivalence" is the ones you are making up. My only claim was that both sex and pooping are not shameful when done in the proper context, but constantly working them into VIRTUALLY EVERY CONVERSATION YOU HAVE is weird and inappropriate.

If you can't comprehend that then there really isn't anything else to say.

You even admitted that you've weaponized the topic of sex and use it to ridicule people, which is pathetic, rude, and not what the Lord Jesus died for. But if you're comfortable with it then I don't know what else to tell ya 🤷

Time for me to tap out.... I got pulled into this when I saw you offending a new member, but by now they know not to take you seriously. No sense wasting my time further.

Thank you for staying single 🙏

Developing a taste for quality cheeses is also effective, especially if you have an Aldi nearby where you can get really good cheese at a startlingly low price. And if you get TOO tight, ease off on the cheese for a couple days.
Thank you for staying single 🙏
For REAL though!

If a woman does enjoy and share that, she'd be slut shamed, an unfortunate cultural stigma, is that a "judgment" or no?
What about other books? :ROFL:
What about less "what-aboutism?"
Oh. More likely. And if it doesn't go well. OK. That sounds more reasonable, actually.
What's more reasonable is to not use another person's body to fulfill your own desire.

Is the bible itself proper context? If it is so shameful and inappropriate, why did God design marriage to be consummated with that, as "two become one flesh"? Why is it repeatedly mentioned that who and who "knew his wife and she borne a son", as though readers have to be reminded over and over again how babies were made? Am I comfortable with it? No I'm not, your abhorrence made me uncomfortable. You don't seem to be serious by comparing sex with pooping, when the two share no common context.

A married woman would be "slut-shamed" for admitting the simple fact that sex with her husband can be pleasurable? Tell me, do you know of such an incident ever happing in real life?


What about less "what-aboutism?"

You seemed to suggest that if something's not directly related to Jesus, we shouldn't be doing it. Is that what you meant?

What's more reasonable is to not use another person's body to fulfill your own desire.

What if both people---a husband and his wife---desire to have sex and decide to do so? Or is this scenario too far-fetched for you to imagine?

If you don't know the proper context for discussing sexual things at this point then I don't think I can teach you over the internet. Sorry. But just to give you a few hints:

Asking a random woman how she would feel about a "roll in the sheets" is inappropriate.

Bringing up having sex with Jesus is VERY inappropriate.

"Weaponizing the subject and using it to ridicule" is VERY inappropriate.

You are not 12vyears old; I shouldn't have to tell you any of that. But here we are 🙄.

yes, that's why sex is a taboo topic.

doing what?

what if that's their own private matter? What if we stay out of their bedroom?
