Sex for Reproduction


Many couples fear that they may not be able to have children. To achieve conception, you must:


(a) Have sex regularly and frequently––at least every other day.


If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for YIELDING
pacifieth great offences.

Ecclesiastes 10:4

(b) Have sex scientifically using your knowledge of the times of ovulation.
(c) Improve sperm count by abstaining 2 - 3 days before ovulation. Men should not
wear tight or nylon pants.
(d) The woman should avoid post-coital douche or getting up immediately after
coitus.
(e) Seek medical attention when necessary. It is the duty of BOTH the husband and
wife to seek medical care if required and to go through every test or examination
necessary to achieve a pregnancy. This is not the time to apportion blame but
rather to draw closer to each other.
(f) Understand that a couple is not infertile unless they have been living together for
more than a year and having regular sexual intercourse (at least every other day)
without any form of contraception whatsoever.
(g) Know that most people are fertile.
(h) Be aware that the commonest cause of infertility is blocked tubes following
infected abortions and sexually transmitted diseases. Hence if the above history
is non-existent, there is very little to fear.
(i) Trust GOD. But if you have the above history, you should be open and frank to
each other about it and be aware that such a problem is possible.
