I have a question for you paul. more a comment actually. you say that sex is only for reproduction and that is why you are waiting until you get married. but how you say it then after you had all the kids you want are you just going to stop having sex with your wife. and what if your wife cant have children will you never have sex. what if you dont want to have children to you are married a few years...are you suppose to wait until then even if you are married. i mean i support what you are saying, but i dont believe sex is suppose to be for reproduction only. i have so much more to say but i dont think any of it is right to say right now.

as sick as it is, my step dad and mom have been married for almost eleven years, and trust me, they have a lot of sex...

and I'm still an only child.

i cant have kids so am i never suppose to have sex even if i find someone i love ...i am also waiting until i get married, and i just posed the question cause the way you said all sex that doesnt occur with the purpose to reproduce is a sin. thats the only part i dont believ...but i was directing it to those who are married not everyone who is having sex

i know. the idea is to spakr your mind a bit, think about it for a while, that's the idea. i'm not being literal in any of this, it's just human nature to presume so. that's why chris went out on a tangent, i made him think.
