beefche Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 this is ridiculous. i wish i didn't ask. some of you have horrible attitudes and need to go to church, it seems.Oh, yes...absolutely we ALL need to go to church. But, I'm not sure what attitude you are witnessing in this thread that makes you term it "horrible."If you want the official word from the Church, then I suggest you go to lds.org and do a search there. And in case you still wanted someone's opinion, I seriously doubt you will find a definitive "do" or "don't do" list of acceptable sexual practices between a husband and wife.

annewandering Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 suzie for some reason I suspect that Vort got you and me confused. I prefer to have sex with my husband alone. That also includes going to the bathroom, changing clothes or anywhere else where I dont expect an audience. So OP are you asking about sex in general or specific practices? In general the church is for married people having normal sex lives. In specific things considered abusive/demeaning are not specifically mentioned that I know of but the church is specifically against abuse. It seems likely that includes in sex.

Quite a few of us thought it was rather...umm...."uncommon" to want the presence of angels while having sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefche Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Honest question: Do you think that having sex with your spouse makes the Spirit leave? That somehow the gift of the Holy Ghost is "suspended" while having intimate relations with your husband, getting dressed, bathing, etc.?

Or listening unless theres a darn good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I've never thought of the gift of the Holy Ghost meaning that He is right there watching every thing we do, every act that we commit. He guides us, He comforts us, He helps us in our decisions...but to sit there watching? I think some may have a different perspective of the Holy Ghost than I do. Perhaps my perspective is wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just sitting here thinking this over. The Holy Ghost is a person. He cant follow us all around in person. That does not mean he cant help us or be there when we need him. During sex, I think we can generally take care of that without his presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sister_in_faith Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I'm not sexually active, so I can't do any 'experiments' on this, but I would be interested if someone would try, making love to their spouse and in the middle of it trying to 'dial in' to the spirit. Is it there as quickly as other times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yet why can't His guiding influence be there even during the most intimate of acts? It's that still small voice telling or helping us with what's right or wrong. While what goes on behind closed door is between the couple, there are some things that are still against God's standards. That to me is where the Holy Ghost can come in.I hope I'm making sense.

Dravin Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 No but I think he is not watching. Or listening unless theres a darn good reason.Well since nobody was proposing (except those making jokes) that he was sitting there watching then I'm not sure why there was the reaction there was over the topic in the past. The discussion was over the presence of the spirit. Unless you're confused over how two separate wards can have the spirit present at a meeting then the context of talking about the spirit being present is pretty clear.

Is it there as quickly as other times?Ok well I am trying to stop laughing. My husband has flat out vetoed the idea. Somehow I dont think you are going to get many researchers on that. I guess as far as I am concerned I never really paid attention to see if the Holy Ghost was there. I was rather occupied at the time.

sister_in_faith Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Actually, I think that our society has made sex out to be this dirty shameful thing. If we could see it the way Heavenly Father sees it, I don't think we would have a knee jerk reaction that it is something to hide or be embarassed about. just a thought.

Suzie Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Well, taking into consideration the amount of kids Mormons have, I don't think they see sex as "dirty" and if they do, they have no problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
