Introduction to Sexual HappinessSexometer
- Regular sex prevents adultery:
(a) When you have sex, as with all other physical needs, your desire for sex goes
down, since you are well satisfied. For example, if you eat well at home, you
will not have the desire to buy food outside your home since you are well-
satisfied at home. The same applies to sex.
(b) Wives must realize that it is in their own interest to have sex regularly with their
husbands so that they will not be interested in other girls they meet outside the
home everyday. - A way of expressing your love to your wife or husband:
(a) There are different ways of expressing love, such as buying a gift, cooking a
nice meal etc. Another way of expressing love is having sex with your wife or
husband.
(b) Romantic behaviour such as kissing, petting, fondling is not meant for sinful
boyfriend and girlfriend relationships but for properly married couples. Couples
are encouraged to behave romantically. - Sex can be a happy ending to some quarrels:
(a) There is a saying that there is no problem that cannot be solved in the bed.
(b) After problems have been sorted out by discussions and rendition of apolo-
gies, sex can be a very happy ending.
(c) Sex is not a substitute for discussing the issue.
(d) A wife who wants to calm her husband down can have sex with him. - Sex can be a way of releasing tension.
Sexual activity releases endorphins or causes relaxation that can be useful for a pastor
preparing to preach, or for a footballer who is tensed up for a match; or for a student going to
write an exam, or for someone attending an interview.
