I always thought that women's ability to have multiple orgasms almost makes up for forty years of menstruation.
I don't think it makes a dent in the whole pregnancy/childbirth thing, though...
I think it is because sexually abstinent people run it, so they have a negaqtive view about sex.
and BTW, men can have multiples too. God only punishes SOME men by giving them only one orgasm at a time.
Protestan clergy and i think anglican clergy, and jewish "clergy" for sure, can marry and have sex.
But yeah, this really is streching to the half-full mark.
...to saying "Oh God" at particular moments...
Sex is the most wonderful gift God ever gave to Christians.
Dude, I hate to rain on this guy's parade, but if God "gave" sex at all, he gave it to everybody, not just Christians. Or do Jesus's followers have some doohickey down there that the rest of us don't know about?
Just sayin'.
Yeahhh...wonder if he refuses blood transfusions as well.

Jews take sex pretty seriously, particularly sexual satisfaction. Not sure if it's still true everywhere, but for some groups a man isn't really a man if he can't get his wife off. (I'd cite references if I had any, but I'm way too lazy to go digging that stuff up.) And while Buddhist monks abstain from sex, they think that everyone else should go and enjoy it thoroughly, just not let it run their lives. It's mostly just Christians and Muslims who have that puritanical streak.
Catholics, Evangelicals, Muslims, Puritans constitute at least 125 million Americans who are under the influence of sex hating or sex phobic religious leaders.
40% of the country.
add in all the women who hate sex too, another say 50 million.
and that brings it well over 50%.
so what is your problem?
That this minister has come foward and said sex is great ,is a great step foward.
To ask him to change all his values at once is not human.
Praise this man man Reba; praise is a form of encouragement.
Well it's time for me and Ida to get under the covers.
Ida is a Chimpanzee. Your progress on sexuality,Reba,is to be complimented.
