Penetrating a woman's vagina with your penis isn't sex if the woman has gone through menopause.

[BK] Women should be divorced when they reach menopause, and the husband should marry a younger woman because marriage is for having babies [/BK]

The oldest woman I've dated was 36, so I wouldn't know from experience. However, I've heard that post-menopausal women can have quite the desire.

[The Mad Monk]

Well, if they're not, you're gonna get zapped with a lightning bolt.

That brings up a pet peeve of mine. When did we start confusing YHWH with Jove?

[SlowwHand]

Penetrating a woman's vagina with your penis isn't sex if the woman has gone through menopause.

That kind of sounds like a Bill Clinton definition of sex.

[Ben Kenobi]

Nope, wrong again.

So you don't believe that sex is about the unitive aspect?

[Ben Kenobi]

I seriously doubt they would ever speak candidly on this

So we've gone from saying that "people who believe X do Y", to saying that "people who lie and say that they believe X do Y."

Maybe they should stop lying to themselves and everyone else and actually believe X and do X.

We don't fault people for incapacity to have children through infertility.

Sex does not require both, procreation and unity.

Sex does not require both, procreation and unity.

So which part do you reject, Mr. Fun?

[Kidlicious]

We don't fault people for incapacity to have children through infertility.

Of course not, only for being gay.

[MrFun]

I reject neither. You can have sex for procreation and unity. You can also have sex without procreation, that satisfies the unity part.

In your post above, you seemed to have claimed that sex requires both, procreation and unity.

No babies, no sex. Those are the rules. I didn't make them. Stop having sex if you're infertile because sex that is only "unitive" and not "procreative" is evil and wrong.

[Ben Kenobi]

Of course not, only for being gay.

It applies to folks procreating outside of marriage too.

There's nothing wrong with having sex if you are infertile - because that is something that you have control over. Engaging in contraception on the other hand is denying the procreative aspect of sex.
