That's how our online relationship began about 10 years ago.As your wife helped you to understand the body image issue, either she's not as comfortable with it as you think, or she realizes that she's an exception and wants you to understand that.
My wife would only be upset if I was looking at porn and didn't invite her to partake.
Quote:Agreed. Men can be taught what is and is not appropriate ways of flirting with or wooing women. Men can be taught to respect sexual boundaries. Society can do a better job of punishing sexually predatory behaviors.Can men be taught to enjoy games that don't feature young, slender, scantily clad women?
Quote:Sorry you're so repressed. Maybe that's your problem.It's not a problem to find your wife to be the most amazingly sexy woman on earth, even though she's not as young or slender as she once was.
Quote:Only for procreation purposes. Celibacy is the preferred lifestyle. Marriage is only the second option grudgingly offered. Shall I quote you chapter and verse?Sure. You know it tells married people not to forego sex, and doesn't limit it to procreation, or you would have quoted chapter and verse already.
Heck, I'll do it for you:
1 Cor 7
1 Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment. 7 For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.
You're correct that if someone has the gift of celibacy, that is considered preferable. However, it clearly says that others should marry and have a regular sex life. There is nothing there about procreation only.
