I'm glad my children were too little to understand a word he was saying. He certainly didn't give fair warning as to the content of his Sunday sermon!
There are parents who don't teach their kids properly (my parents were in that group), and so maybe the church feels the need to step in. That's fine. But my children are already learning about it in a healthy way, and so I'm going to keep it on my terms for now.

We had a local church, not affiliated with us, bring all manner of lingerie to a couple's meeting. The pastor and his wife wanted to show them what NOT to wear.  I wonder what they did with the items after the meeting? I'd ask if I could have them. Just to remind me, you know!

LOL!!!!!
I'm probably not being fair to my own pastor, here. I'm sure that if he DID address sex, it would be in an appropriate way. I...just...don't want to know, though. LOL!!!! If he thinks something weird, I just don't want to know about it.

All he could bring up is to NOT defraud each other and then drop it. It's not anyone's business.

OK, you guys are changing my mind on this topic. So much for AFF not changing minds. THIS JUST MAKES ME MAD!!! What kind of sick person wants to stop people from having God ordained fun with their spouse?

My husband and I discuss the perimeters in our intimacy. Some things can turn sex into ugly, base acts and not lovely and satisfying. That's our personal business and I don't discuss that with anyone.

That is too funny!
Look at this, want it, but CAN'T HAVE IT!!!! Silly.
I agree that things like that do not need to be discussed from the pulpit.
Remember the thread about the pastor here in Memphis that had the bed on his platform and him and his wife wore their nightwear while he spoke. THAT was over the line!
