Fellas, is it ‘pornified’ to want to have sex with your wife?
In an odd social media clip that begins with two married women sexually objectifying a priest, Lila Rose, a Christian conservative and ostensible proponent of marriage, provided better anti-marriage propaganda than radical left-wing feminists or the marriage-hating manosphere could ever dream of concocting.
“That’s just a cultural narrative that basically says, ‘Men are like animals; they have to be able to do this sexual thing, otherwise they’re going to go crazy,’ and the reality is there’s whole vocations that are celibate,” Rose said.
However, instead of focusing on the celibacy of Catholic priests, she went on in the video, and then on X, to say celibacy “can also be a beautiful practice within marriage,” adding that Paul the Apostle’s First Epistle to the Corinthians argues in favor of celibate marriages.
As a matter of pure biblical accuracy, Rose bastardized the New Testament. Paul makes clear that if you do marry — one of the seven wonderful sacraments in the old church — categorically denying sex to your spouse is indeed a sin. More than arguably any other social teaching of early Christianity, Paul’s guidance on marriage, specifically on the moral goodness of sex in marriage, was radical in the context of ancient Rome.
