sex is only for the creation of a child

[thesaintman]

can you say me it...

respect your brothers and sisters

 

[evenifigoalone]

Hi saintman. Now I'm not interested in sex myself (I'm asexual), but it actually does have a purpose between a married couple besides only having a baby. It helps to bond them closer together. God created sex as a good thing. It is people who have made it dirty.

 

[D-D-W]

"sex is only for the creation of a child"

If you will notice, the Song of Solomon is a book that on the surface is all about sex. (yes, I know there are allegorical and symbolic meanings, but I am not talking about that here) There are descriptions (mostly veiled in the erotic poetic images of the day) of all kinds of sexual activity, most of which are non-procreative.
Plus, even with the possibly-procreative regular intercourse, there is still NOT ONE WORD about getting pregnant or child birth.

On that basis alone I have to disagree with the above statement.

"respect your brothers and sisters"

That I can completely agree with.

 

[Who Me]

Sorry but you have been missinformed.

Sex between Husband and Wife is an expression of love, of tenderness and of vunerability.

It is a means of giving and of receiving pleasure.

Yes it is a way of creating babies.

No where in the bible is sex between married couples banned or forbiddened.

True - in general. However, it is forbidden during menses - her period. That IS in the bible, in Leviticus.
You can decide for yourself if that is applicable in the New Covenant or not.

Yes because blood has a special meaning as it looks forward to the shedding of Jesus's blood.

Well, God had to make it so it feels real good otherwise it would be a chore and no one would do it...and the goal was, be fruitful and multiply, so there you go.

 

[for_his_glory]

There are many verses in the OT and NT about being conjugal between a husband and a wife that address pleasuring each other and has nothing to do with only making babies.

1Cor 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
1Cor 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
1Cor 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
1Cor 7:4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
1Cor 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
