Kicking the tires

We were drawn into the world of The Duggars..much to our chagrin. There is something about this 18 child family that makes you gawk and stare. You want to turn off the tv and say, "I have no interest in this." Try as you may though, you can't. Once you have seen two minutes of the show it spreads like cancer through your brain untill it is all encompassing.

Last night was the reshowing of Josh Duggar's wedding. (the oldest boy) Moments before his wedding his dad, JimBob, pulls him aside to teach him the birds and the bees. That's right. He is on the precipice of having sex for the first time in his life and his father decides that that was the very moment to give him a few tips on the act. Except, he doesn't give him the real facts...he gives him a video and a book called, Intended for Pleasure. It is a book designed for virgins on their wedding day. Of course I am a curious person and I just had to read some reviews on this book. Here are a few:

"Six months after we were married, I was wondering if all men wanted sex ALL the time. It seemed like it was exhausting work with no equal payoff for the wife."

"My husband learned that I may not have an orgasm every time and it's OK."

"According to Dr. Wheat the only way to bring a woman to orgasm is from clitoral stimulation. Which is a crock many women have G-spot orgasms during intercourse, but according to Dr. Wheat intercourse is not pleasurable to the wife only to the husband and he should "manually stimulate her" after his own orgasm."

"The Wheats are against oral sex calling it a short cut and not the way "God would have designed" it in part because it "limits the amount of loving verbal communication that husband and wife can have as they make love."

And now a segment from the book:

"If you think your husband seems to require a lot more sex than you do, ponder this illustration: If you were in the desert and you were thirsty, you'd think about a glass of water, wouldn't you? But if you're standing by the refrigerator, and there's an opportunity to push the button and get it any time you want to, the need for a drink is not nearly so urgent. Maybe the reason your husband seems never to think of anything besides sex is that he's "in the desert" and "thirsty" "Sometimes you will be very tired and feeling as sexy as an old sock, but your husband will approach you with desire. Secular therapists say a wife should be able to respond, "Sorry, but I'm just not up to it tonight." My own opinion as a Christian wife is that we can depend on the Lord to give us the strength and ability to be as warm and responsive as our husband desires, no matter how tired we are... ..."Most important, a wise wife will not argue. She will keep her husband peaceful and satisfied and happy by gracefully conceding to his wishes, or deferring to his opinions...A husband usually welcomes the thoughtful opinions of his wife..."(157-159, Third Ed.)

Well hoorah and kudos to JimBob for passing on this knowledge to his son. I am sure his wife will appreciate it.
