florida church wants married couples to have sex….

By February 19, 2008Blog

For 30 days straight. Here’s the link to the story.

It was bound to happen. A church using sex–albeit married sex–to get a little free publicity. Relevant Church (original name) wants all of their married members to have sex for 30 days straight. It’s to help improve their marriages.

OK, a couple thoughts and questions (just for fun)

1) How are they keeping score? People could lie and stuff. And what’s the proof? Oh, and if you have sex seven times in one day, does that make you cool for the week?

2) The pastors are men.

3) Um, “30 days straight” as in, right in a row? No skipping at all? Not even for, well, um, Passover?

4) 30 days–“straight”–my guess is this: the elder board definitely voted for Huckabee. Not that there’s anything wrong with it.

5) Can you imagine being a single person at this church? That would suck. I wonder if people who fly solo are allowed to participate. Just a thought.

Yay Jesus!

Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an erection and similar states when erection is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile dysfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory hard-on, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual heartiness is an substantial part of a man’s life, no matter his age etc.

    I don’t think they thought this one through completely…

    Hmmm, and then hmmmm some more. I would have such a hard time with that. There’s a whole lot of thoughts going on in my head about that one, but I think it’s better to keep them to myself 🙂 . I’m just glad that’s not my church 🙂

    Only in Florida! I can say that; I live here. Several megachurches around here have “used” sex as a selling point–billboards, newspaper ads, radio commercials that basically say come to church and talk about sex.

    Here’s a link to Relevant Church’s “sex guide” that is conveniently designed for both married and singles. You can check out the subtle (and not so subtle!) attitudes/teachings aimed toward the two distinct categories of people. (Guess who gets chastised, warned, and guilted more?)

    Oh, what about the singles who don’t have a significant other? I guess they can just skip church for the next month…that way they can stay up late on Saturday nights watching Sue Johanson with her “hot stuff” bag of tricks.

    do single people get to participate?…hahahahaha u r funny you…lol

  • I do my best, Chris. But seriously, single people would win! 🙂

  • pete says:

    As a pastor I should probably give the whole challenge a try. You know…just to see.

  • Susan Isaacs says:

    But do they ALSO have to have a CONVERSATION, 30 days in a row? Ask the wife how her day went, how she’s feeling, if she needs him to take out the trash. That kind of girlie married foreplay?

  • Joy Powell says:

    Wowza.
    It pisses me off.
    I can’t put it any other way.
    As a single person I’m CONSTANTLY reminded that I’m not part of “that special club” and this takes it to the next level in neon-sign-the-size-of-Montana form.

    Ugh. I say they should rename their church to Rela-Annoying.

    Whew.
    Sigh.
    I feel better.
    Thanks for listening;)

  • I read that this pastor says it is wrong to have sex during a woman’s time of the month. How are you supposed to have sex for 30 days straight unless you’ve already gone through menopause?

  • Thanks Joy! I LOVE your comment! Thanks for the email, too! So kind.

    And Steph, I thought that too… that’s what I was referring to when I wrote “Passover.” But maybe all of the women are on that form of birth control that allows you to skip your period if you want to. Maybe they handed some out right after passing the grape juice or something. 🙂 btw: How the heck are you?!?

  • Kristen says:

    See, I was thinking the same thing about that time of month…ew! EW! I totally caught your drift on your “passover” comment, loved it!
