Hmmm…I think you’ve got a good idea with this graph, but it’s arranged a bit wrong for me. The proportion of sex between films and real life is right, but the relationships between real life and real life is off. By that I mean, looking at your graph, it shows that married people have more sex than dating people (or more than everyone actually). I don’t think that’s accurate at all.

>>Honestly, the only reason Christians think this graph is accurate is because nobody could tolerate their nonsense long enough to sleep with them before they got married.

Wait, so you’re saying nobody wants to have sex with us, just commit to having sex with us for the rest of their lives? I’m confused.

Sometimes health issues or antidepressants come into the picture after marriage and wreck the lovin’ party. We were pretty darned active before that happened.

Well, it’s not like you have to choose between marrying for religious reasons and not marrying. If you want to have kids, than marriage (a stable, two-parent relationship, essentially, Gay or Straight) is best.

“Wanted to say it is nice to see another Christian out there in the world”
Christians make up a third of mankind; you’re bound to run into one sometime! It’s like like y’all are in danger or anything.
Unless, of course, by “Christian” you actually mean “Christian who shares my views”
Don’t want to hate, but I’s just saying…

why people are afraid to open to each other when it comes to sex because sex is like game for married people and unmaried

My wife and I have been married for almost ten years, and abstained from sex for our nearly three-year engagement. We are both dedicated Christians and are happy with our decision of waiting. I’m a lucky guy too, because she generally wants sex far more often than I do. An average week is about twice, but if it were up to her, it would be every day, and possibly multiple times in a day. (*Possibly… who am I kidding!*)

Those that get married for and stay dedicated to God’s plan will never be disappointed. If you want to find a faithful lover who will satisfy your every non-adulterous fantasy, marry a Christian.

Oh we dated 2 years, lived w/engaged about 2 yrs, married almost 6 yrs, no kids. Different schedules. He works nights I work days.
Oh and side note I didnt give oral until we were married. Maybe that why theres more. LOL

My husband and I have more sex married then we did when we were dating. I was actually kinda worried that I wouldnt be happy w/ the frequency before we got married. But its good now. Before we were married it was 2-4 times a month, now its 4-8 times a month. I would be happy w/ more but this graph isnt about wifes who want more sex its about frequency over status.

I’m going to disagree marriage is a joke. I don’t see what the hell the big deal is. I have been with my g/f for 4 years and have absolutely no plans what so ever of marrying her. First off tax breaks not worth the cost of marriage and I’m definantly not getting married becuase it’s what good christian would do because that is the biggest joke in the whole wide world.

“sadly the Catholic church is great at keeping people afraid of God by teaching them bogus crap.”

*rolls eyes*
yeah, it’s a good thing other sects of christianity (or religions in general) are NOTHING like those wacky papists, then they might start doing stuff like speaking in gibberish, dunking each other in water, drinking symbolic blood of their deity’s kid, and playing hot potato with rattlesnakes.

Honestly, the only reason Christians think this graph is accurate is because nobody could tolerate their nonsense long enough to sleep with them before they got married.

I have no idea why people think Christians don’t like sex either. Studies have shown that people who go to church and pray together have happier marriages and happier sex lives! I think the world is bound and determined to believe every silly thing about religions they hear b/c it is the cool thing to do these days. And b/c of the religious wackos that tell everyone they are going to Hell. The only person that can tell you that you belong in Hell is God. Anyway, I’m rambling. Wanted to say it is nice to see another Christian out there in the world and I admire that you can back up what you say with scripture. God bless

By: slightlycoolchick

slightlycoolchick — Fri, 01 May 2009 07:31:01 +0000

Oh it all makes sense now. Sorry, but I don’t really think Catholic or Roman Catholic when I think Christian. Mainly b/c where I am from there are hardly any Catholics, and b/c they pray to the saints, which is something I don’t think is a Christian idea, just a Catholic one. And yes, sadly the Catholic church is great at keeping people afraid of God by teaching them bogus crap. It says in the Bible that marriage is for life, but Jesus taught to forgive and forget. If someone wants a divorce, sure it may be a sin, but so what? They are human, forgive them and forget about it. There are no such things are cardinal sins. The only unforgivable sin is the rejection of the Holy Spirit. I really wish people would just read the Bible (and other holy books) for themselves and have their own interpretation of it instead of listening to whatever junk falls out of other people’s mouths. You are very eloquent with your argument. I always enjoy some intelligent conversation.

I live in Poland, so Roman Catholicism is the only strand of Christianity I know. Let me tell you: in Roman Catholic doctrine it’s not only “not OK” to divorce, it is impossible. Once you marry, you stay married as long as both partners are alive, no matter that the spouse may do to you. The only thing you could do is to separate and pray for the other person to mend their ways.

In a very limited number of cases a marriage may be annulled by a court of canonical law – esp. when of the partners concealed important facts making them unfit to enter into marriage like being married to someone else of being mentally ill. Whatever happens after valid marriage is formed, like one the partners cheating or going crazy or violent, does not provide grounds for annulling the marriage.

In my personal opinion this is not mandated by divine law, but simply is an invention of man which is very effective at generating enormous amounts of guilt, along with other restrictions on sexuality imposed by Roman Catholic church, like prohibition of effective methods of birth control. Guilt in turn is what fuels the dependence of the followers on the Church – the sole distributor of divine forgiveness, and indirectly generates revenue for the institution. A tremendously effective mechanism, as evidenced by the financial success of the Roman Catholic Church over the centuries.

I find the religions that promote direct personal relationship with the Divine so much more humane…

I don’t know what kind of Christians you know. All of the Christians I know think it is ok to get divorced, under the right circumstances. You can’t get divorced for just any reason, but if there is violence in the relationship, or one spouse cheats on the other, then divorce is ok. Christians just discourage divorce because they believe that you shouldn’t get married unless you pray about it and you believe God wants you to marry that person. You need to be absolutely sure before you get married.

The Bible actually encourages sex in a married relationship. I don’t know why people think Christians don’t like or can’t have sex. The belief that sex is only for reproduction is a Catholic one, and is not commonly held among Christians (or even commonly adhered to by Catholics themselves).

The Bible explicitly implies that sex is for both pleasure and reproduction. The only caveat is that sex is specifically for married relationships only. So yes, the graph is pretty much correct. I have been married for 3 years, and my wife and I have sex all the time, with one kid and another on the way (and yes only with each other).

You may want to look at Song of Solomon in the bible. The whole book is about sex, a woman and her lover, and waiting until marriage for sex.

By: no really

It’s not a total myth. This happens to way to many couples for various reasons. And since it’s unlikely that two people with no sexual drive would marry in the first place, it’s a major problem for the relationship.

It’s particularly sad for followers of Christianity – the only major religion that does not provide a way to undo a marriage, which leaves lots of people miserable for life. Either because they are stuck in a relationship with a person that does not want to have sex with them (or vice versa) or because they split and form new relationships in which they have sex and this means adultery, a grave sin in the view of their religion.

Then unquestionably I sucked big time. Married a virgin (she wouldn’t before the big day). Found out she never really liked sex. Once our family was as large as we wanted, it didn’t matter (to her) if we ever had sex again. In more than 10 years of marriage, I don’t think our ‘all the way’ counter hit triple digits.

She’s not my wife anymore.
