and now, for the rant...

Ok, so I took a little longer getting home than expected. But anyway, I'm home now and it's story time.

I went to my grandparents for Mother's Day. I don't know how the discussion got started, but for some strange reason everyone was talking about men's underwear. My Aunt Wanda said she wouldn't want to be with a man that wore whitey tighties. My brother asked what difference it would make, since they would end up on the floor anyway, to which I agreed. My aunt gasped and held her hand to her chest like she was gonna have a heart attack. I'm like, "What? ...I mean when I'm married!" From that point on it seemed like everyone took turns making fun of me.

What the heck is wrong with people? Why is it so scandalous that I, a Christian female, am looking forward to having sex with my husband? It's not like I fantasize about it. If a man, even a Christian man, were to say what I said, there would be no fuss made. Yet that is the case when I say it, because obviously women, especially Christian women, aren't supposed to have sex drives, and if one does, she must be a whore. Note the sarcasm.

I'm sick and tired of this. I am committed to purity of heart, mind and body, but I'm not a prude. To look forward to my honeymoon is not sinful or impure. I am going to get married one day and we're going to make love and I'm very much looking forward to that. If you don't like it, I have two words for you: bite me.

Good grief. Women aren't supposed to have sex drives? Since when? o_O

Great rant :) And I agree..

Amen :) I completely agree. We females (I've noticed this being more 'extreme' among Christian women) are often under that sorry stereotype that we have nonexistance sexdrives/desires/needs/blah.

*Ramble*

Sorry. Anyway, nice rant, and again I agree.

Amen.

Amen to that. It was actually brought to my attention that the Church is so negative about sex that some people wind up having problems having sex even though they are married. I only wish I had a high sex drive and was all ready for sex. I'm sure I will be when I find the right man and get over my emotional issues. It's probably the dang church's fault! haha.

Hey, there's also nothing wrong with not wanting sex. I sure can't understand it, but it's not bad.

The church needs to wake up and realize an important truth from Scripture: the righteous will avoid all extremes. I forget where that comes from at the moment, but I'm sure you could look it up.

Well people forget about who created sex. It wasnt man. It wasnt the devil. It was God Himself. He made us to have sex drives and he wants us to enjoy it when we are married. I make no secret that i am VERY much looking forward to that once i am married to Danny.

Dont worry about what other immature, ignorant people say... most people dont know what they're talking about anyway lol.
