Christian Blogger: A Woman Not in the Mood Can't "Deprive Her Husband Sexually"

Christian Blogger: A Woman Not in the Mood Can’t “Deprive Her Husband Sexually”
By Hemant Mehta, March 25, 2019

Lori Alexander, the fundamentalist Christian mommy blogger, says that women who aren’t in the mood should always have sex with their husbands because God is watching and it would make Him happy.

In fact, the only reason women wouldn’t want to have sex with their spouses, she suggests, is because they had sex before marriage with other men who they eventually broke up with, and that ruined them, which is why sex isn’t always pure joy anymore.

… it’s a strong woman who isn’t being led by her moods and emotions but instead is living in obedience to God’s command to not deprive her husband sexually. This takes strength whereas doing as you please takes no strength at all.

Why do women act so profoundly disgusted at the thought of giving themselves freely to their husbands sexually even if they’re not in the mood?…


Uh… because they’re not in the mood. They said that.

Or maybe because good sex involves making sure your partner is happy, and it wouldn’t be fun sleeping with someone who’s not into it.

Or maybe because consent matters, even in marriage.

not human beings whose wants and needs matter. What a noxious bunch of crap. How about this: your wife doesn't want to have sex with you, leave your fucking hands off her and take a cold shower or go for a walk, or otherwise take care of yourself.

So, God wants men to have sex whenever they wish, regardless of the consent of the other person? Really?

This is one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever seen, and it comes from a woman, of all things.

Decent men don't insist on having sex with someone else. Sex is not a requirement of life. It is a mutual interaction when another person is involved.

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Ephesians 5:22-24

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake


Santa, only sees you when sleeping, and apparently only some sort of on/off indicator when awake and or bad/good.
