The Big 'O'
What is the point of a woman's orgasm, and why would a dedicated Christian woman ever have them?
In Christian theology, it is understood that sex is only for procreation, and any other uses of the sexual function is rooted in lust and hedonism. To propagate the race the man must ejaculate his seed deep into the woman' s body, therefore it is imperative that the man have an orgasm, as this is how it works. However, the woman need not experience such a base lust-filled feeling at all.
We all know this is how people are made. But there is absolutely no reason for the woman to enjoy any of it. She must submit to her husband as the good book says, of course. We need to continue the race until the Second Coming of Christ, after all. But, are base lustful waves of orgasm something a Christian woman should seek?
Hedonism is the pursuit of pleasure for its own sake. Masturbation is a sin, because it is not the proper use of the sexual function for procreation, it is seeking to feel good by climaxing. So, it stands to reason that having an orgasm, when unnecessary, is nothing more than a fancy form of masturbation.
Let's look at it another way.
So, since stroking my erect penis to climax is considered "Onanism", or perhaps pure hedonistic sin, then it can be argued by using the same logic, that touching or stimulating a clitoris just to achieve base lustful pleasure is likewise unadulterated hedonistic sin seeking.
What do you think?`
Howie, I completely agree with you.
ReplyDeleteHowever, for nearly two millennia, Christianity has taught it differently. In fact, only in the last couple of generations has the idea that having a "Big O" is A-O-K.
Read your history -- either Christianity was wrong for a couple of thousand years, or it's changed. And if it's changed, why was it wrong to begin with?
There are (at least) 2 flaws in your post :
ReplyDelete1) the Bible doesn't view sex as being solely for procreation. You might want to read "song of songs" to see how Solomon sees it.
Jacob loved Rachel more than Lea, yet Rachel was originally barren. If sex had only be for procreation, he should have stayed away from her as soon as he knew she was barren...
2) woman's orgasm is NOT useless. Latest research indicate that it coincide with a sucking by the uterus of what my be available in the vagina, in other words it directly serves in bringing sperm and egg together.
Incidently a common mistake is being made about onanism. The sin of Onan wasn't to masturbate, but to chose not to give a posterity to his brother's wife on behalf of his brother ( as was the custom back then ).
I believe the Christian church completely overlooks female sexuality and many young married couples neglect the basic sexual needs of women. However, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that women have sex drive and the Bible also talks about BOTH men and women being equally submissive. Although this is not even meant in a sexual sense, submissiveness also means placing the needs of your spouse over you own: selflessness. I am confident my future husband will learn how andwant to learn how to making his wife sexually satisfied.
