I apologize in advance: apparently I can either have paragraphs, or I can have an LJ cut. I can't have both, so I've opted for the paragraphs. But don't say I didn't warn you that this post is offensive.Well, I have gotten off on a fine tangent this evening, and have learned more than I ever needed to know about God's plan for my lady parts.
It all started with a note I was putting in the margin of a fic I'm beta-reading, suggesting that the author use a verb other than "fisting" to describe a character's innocent grasp of his spear. I did a quick Google, intending to provide her with a reference--and got completely sidetracked when this link appeared high on the list:
Fisting and God's Will
http://www.sexinchrist.com/fist.htmlWell, f-list, I could not resist. I had to know.
I learned some very interesting things. For example, did you know that when a husband fists his wife, he is symbolically reenacting the Biblical scene where Thomas thrusts his hand into the wound in Jesus' side?
I for one did not know that.
The article recommends that before engaging in fisting,
"a Christian husband and wife should pray together and ask for divine guidance. The husband should ask that God guide his hand and work through him, and for the skill and patience to fist his wife correctly and maximize her pleasure. The wife should pray for openness and readiness to receive God’s love and grace in the form of her husband’s hand."Personally, the only thing I love more than having dirty, dirty sex is praying about it beforehand. And nothing makes me quite so hot as regarding any penetrating member as a metaphor for God's love and grace.
Apparently, just about anything you do with your husband is fine with God--as long as it doesn't involve the dreaded
man-on-man homosexuality or interfere with the
natural submissive role of the wife toward her husband.It's OK, for instance,
for her to do him up the ass with a strap-on provided his submissive role doesn't extend out of the bedroom and he's not thinking about a man while she's doing it.
I am not making this up.
But wait, there's more. You won't believe this: THREESOMES ARE OK, as long as it's two women and one man, and neither of the women is very butch. Because apparently there's no proscription in the Bible against lesbianism.
And there's even more good news: fellatio is fine,
as long as she swallows. Because if she spits it out, that's onanism, and you're both in trouble then.
I'm so relieved to have found this reassuring gold mine of information about what God regards as OK for me to do, and I've only begin to explore it. I have yet to read "Bondage in Christ - BDSM in a Christian Marriage," "Viagra and God's Will," or "Bare before God - Shaving and the Bible."
I just had to share.
