Find out how much you're getting screwed...

[Catholic_Lady]

In Catholicism married couples are not supposed to deny each other of sex unless there is legitimate reason. "I'm not in the mood", is usually not a good enough reason unless there is something else going on. Otherwise, if you're simply just not feeling horny, try harder. For your spouse.

(Eta, those last couple sentences were not directed at you. They are directed at the People who withhold sex from their spouse simply because they're not feeling horny.)

That kind of gives me pause, given the existence of Marital Rape, but just as long as Catholic Man isn't doing shit like this:




I hope it's not too bad.

Also, while I don't do my family's taxes (my Dad does), I managed to estimate that it would appear my family is in for a $580 tax cut.

Wipe that avatar smile off your screen; if it's not for procreation, then you're in mortal sin!

Also, I went to a Catholic high school and it seems that the sin is in not being open to the possibility, at least, where the Church is concerned. Sex for pleasure seems to be fine as long as you're prepared for the possibility that it'll result in a child in nine months.

Oh my goodness, agreeing to have sex with your spouse even though we're not really feeling it at the moment isn't marital rape!   
Obviously marital rape is bad.

Though you are correct about the second part. Catholics use timed abstinence during the fertile time of the month as birth control when trying to avoid pregnancy. You don't have to be trying to have a baby every time you have sex. That's just Jehanne spreading more ignorance and misinformation about Catholicism.
