When perusing some websites recently, we stumbled upon this gem from our friend, Bruce, on his “Restless Wanderings” website (please note Bruce was drawing attention to this buffoonery, not endorsing it): Question #21: Can I perform anal sex on my wife?
This question was posted as part of a sex series from Mars Hill Church in Seattle. Below the question was this descriptor: “This set of posts comes from Pastor Mark Driscoll and his wife Grace. The sermon series The Peasant Princess brought up dozens of questions that they felt they should respond to. The result is this blog series: Christian Sex: Frank Answers to Honest Questions.”
My favorite part of the response is as follows: “When you discuss the issue, it would be helpful for both of you to express why you do or don’t wish to participate in anal sex and then pray about it for a time if there is disagreement. Most people are either for or against it, and very few people are neutral.”
Make no mistake, we are NOT neutral…
And we can just imagine the husband’s prayer: “Please, God, let her say yes… let her say yes!”
Driscoll adds this sage advice: “Many wives are not agreeable to this so do not force it on your wife as she will be tense and that will cause her pain; if you love her you would not seek to shame her or cause her pain.”
On the other hand, if you don’t love her…
For further guidance, Mark Driscoll advises readers to visit a website called…
… wait for it… wait for it…
Folks, you just can’t make this stuff up.
What ever happened to being good stewards of our bodies? I’m a christian and I believe that the body is a temple. I don’t smoke, I don’t overeat, I excercise regularly, I don’t take any RX’s or OTC meds, I don’t get out in the sun between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm, I don’t consume ETOH or illicit drugs and many other rules regarding dietary and lifestyle choices that will hopefully help me live a long and healthy life. I’m not about to take one up the dirt road just because my husband wants a thrill. The cost to me and my ideals would be too great of a sacrifice for me and he nor any other human being worth it.
