Relief Society Sisters gossiping about their sex lives

[BYUTexan]

So I hear often how sisters in the family wards will often talk to one another about their sex lives in their marriages. Is it just me or does thi seem wrong? Isn't part of being faithful and honoring your marriag covenants, keeping the sex life between husband and wife and not discussing it with others?

Another example: my sister in law had a lady in her ward have a party for some sisters in the ward where they checkedout and discussed sex toys. Is it ust me or is in't that wrong as well?

Yes, I think Mormon women are far too open about sex.

[Coastal Ute]

Well, it certainly is squirrely. I would say that this is a matter to be discussed between a husband and wife, not on a public message board. But thats just me.

Good one Sooner. The ones that like it need to be sharing with the ones that don't some tips on what goes where and why. Honestly what do they talk about? Do they complain because they aren't getting enough or that sex is all he wants and he's asking to do things that she is not quite comfortable doing. Just looking at the woman in our ward if they had some conversations about sex i bet it would be very boring.

To me it just seems that the Lord would not approve of a wife discussing her marital sex life with other members of the relief society?

Sex is natural, sex is good. Not everybody does it, but everybody should.

This is a good thing, if it's happening. As long, of course, as you're not an inadequate man, in which case, it's a bad thing.

double standard

While there are in many cases, I think you've made a big assumption in this case.

Glad to see you didn't take the paid holiday today, but worked right through it. I think it was Eve that said "The path to equality is working everyday."

In BYUTexan's case? This thread isn't particularly specific so I'm assuming that neither of us are claiming that what has been said here applies to all Mormons.

This thread or BYUTexan, it seems that you're assuming Mormon men talk about their sex-lives. I think that is a big and inaccurate assumption.

How depressing . Instead, however, you get onto sites like CUF and discuss sex in your cool "manly" way. You could hardly expect women to joke about it the way many men do here. We have a different approach that ought not to be squelched by those who misunderstand it because it's foreign to them.

Of course.... I'm not saying that women can't take talking to each other about their sex lives too far and I'm not surprised that men might get sensitive about info. that is shared. In my experience, however, most women (LDS and non) try to spare their husbands public humiliation unless something else is wrong in their relationships.

Sounds to me like you are really over thinking this sex thing. I bet if you cleared your head and took a more normal approach you may enjoy it more.
