My father explained to me that "sex" is accepted as a sharing between two people, and that the pleasure is a part of that sharing.... but he blew it for me when he said that he prays with his wife before and after.....????
I have heard of prayin' FOR sex.... but not BEFORE sex.... seems like it would be "hard"...no pun intended... to stay in the mood. I mean,,,, what does one pray about?
Our father in heaven

amen
he prays with his wife before and after.....????
Eewwwwww...
what does one pray about?
Before: Please don't let her have a headache, please let me get a hard-on, please let the society change the no-oral-sex rule, please let it be a little more exciting this time...
After: Thanks, anyway.
I really feel sad to see the way a very serious issue has been treated on this thread. There can be no doubt that sex between a male and a female can and frequently does bring about procreation. But no sensible person besides the pope seems to think that that is the only reason for sex, and I doubt if even he does. Another reason for sex is to fulfill a healthy need and to develop a close relationship with a partner in life. Were this not the case, I would imagine that intercourse between a couple would end when the woman reached a point where she could no longer have children. While the Watchtower's view of sex is a curious one based largely on its concept of the nearness of the end and a desire to make more converts, the idea that a couple may decide not to have children for certain specific reasons is not illegitimate. Sometimes not having children may be for health reasons or for genetic reasons. Sometimes it may be for economic reasons. Also, it may be legitimate because a couple want to serve others in a positive and loving way. While Rutherford and his heirs had a rather sick view of sex and marriage, that is not to say that everything about JW thinking is wrong.
To me, as a person who has been married for many years to the same partner, has children, grandchildren and a coming great grandchild, sex is a wonderful and beautiful thing. Therefore, I cannot treat it lightly, nor can I treat an evaluation of it lightly or childishly. Human sexuality has profund moral, psychological and sociological ramifications, and I think it very sad indeed that, as Malcolm Muggeridge has said, "In our era the orgasm has replaced the cross as the prime article of worship."
Genesis 38
8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
KJV

Boy some people are so polite here! Welcome to the board Irenaeus.
Actually until recent centuries the life expectancy was about the age the a woman ceased menstruating. Purpose? Sex feels good because those who enjoyed it did it more and their genes dominated. This selection process has accumulated till we have orgasms that blow the mind. Female orgasm is aparently a fairly recent evolutionary leap, a nice one.
