Is Sex only meant for reproduction?
Years ago I met several ladies who wanted nothing to do with Christianity. They felt that Christians believed that sex is wrong. Today I met a Christian lady who believes that Sex is only meant for reproduction. In her view sex should be avoided in both married and unmarried people unless a married couple wishes to have a kid. I think this view point is a little messed up. Yes sex does create Children but Children are also a gift from the Lord. Meaning just cause a married couple makes love doesn't mean God will grant them kids. Which is one of the reasons I think her view is flawed. In a perfect world. A world before Sin came into the world, it seems to me that God had someone for everyone and He wanted everyone to be fruitful and multiply. But after Sin came into the world, things got messed up and because of that not everything is natural in the purest sense. I think God allows a married couple to choose if they want to have kids or not. But it is a limited choice, in that God can override that choosing whenever He pleases. As well as He can give us kids He and only He reserves the right to take them away. What is your view? Is Sex within marriage only meant for reproduction?

Absolutely - NO!!! Sex is for enjoyment and reproduction.
We are encourage in the bible to have all the sex we can and want in the marriage context.

I think sex is truly beautiful as it joins a couple together in every way.
As christians, we know sex withinin marriage is permitable, and truly, how can we only think of haiving sex for reproduction, where is the joy and love when you only think of "it is my fertile time and I need to have sex now" won't it look like we are machines trying to multiply just because God said multiply for his kingdom. To have kids or not to have kids is not our will, but God's will....can you imagine couples who yearn of kids and never manage to produce them and vice versa for couples who don't want kids by they produce so easily and we ask God why....so it is solely up to God, he put us in this earth for his reason..

Hey gregory,
Sex is not for the purpose of only having children. Within the context of a loving married couple it is a beautiful necessary important aspect of the relationship.
I think the enemy would like to implant that thought into peoples minds because lack of intimacy in a marriage will eventually tear that marriage apart. Sex is something that is to be so special between two people who are married for the purpose of 'becoming 'One'...Married couples need that specialness between them that has nothing to do with anyone else.
Additionally, once a married couple has kids...it can sometimes be difficult to keep the intimacy connection alive and well.. Each person needs to make a special effort . It's a crucial part of the marriage...and should be reserved and kept special to protect it from becoming 'ordinary' or 'unspecial'.
I feel sad for this women who says it's for children only....Not all married couples are able to have kids.

The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 1 Corinthians 7: 3-5

So she stopped short of the rest of the chapter and picks and chooses that which she wants to read/believe in. And if she reads further, she'll find Paul says that not marrying is HIS idea, not something God told him. It's what HE feels is best for those who CAN. So she's exalting Paul's words over God. Hmmmmm

Well as Paul put it, if she can do without it, then that is how she should be. But she should never ever push her views upon others.

She sounds like a flippin' nun to me. Was she married? Or was she? I wouldn't have stayed with her. Sorry, I know that is no grounds for divorce but her body was no longer hers. Sheesh, can I say it LT? She's an idiot.

I've not posted this but I must admit it's hilarious. If it offends anyone LT, I totally understand if you take it down. One night Tim & I had went to bed & yes we locked the doors but it's double doors & not a lot can stop my boys if they want to get in something. Me & Tim jumped up & did our best to cover up the scene within. Seth said sorry & went to watch TV. Nothing else was said. Now, this is my little preacher man Seth that did this. He walked up to me the next day & said "Mama, are you wanting more kids?" I wanted to cuss & say ***** No!!!!!! But I calmly said no. He said can you have any more? I said no because when you guys (twins) were born, I took care of that. He so calmly turned to me & said "Well Mama, why are you still practicing having them?" Needless to say, I laughed till I peed. I told him to ask his daddy. That's my opinion about sex just being used to reproduce.
