Pleasuring your spouse

What are the biblical guidelines for sexual exploration within a marriage? Is it appropriate for a man or woman learn how to satisfy their spouse sexually? What is the purpose of sex within a marriage?

Pastor Mark Driscoll answers this question as part of a live "Ask Anything" session in which audience members SMS questions to the pulpit to be answered in real time.

This question was answered in the broader context of a sermon entitled "Is Birth Control a Sin?" which can be found at http://www.marshillchurch.org/media/religionsaves/birth-control

@desasterz What is up with all the raging atheists muscling in on our First Amendment rights? FYI, you won't silence us; not now, not ever. Second of all, I can't possibly respect a belief that refuses to respect the beliefs of others. If you have a problem with Christianity, don't whine and cry at us. Just stay away from the videos regarding Christianity, because we don't need to hear the HATEFUL ATHEIST PREACHING!!!!

@Roac7777 I suppose your idealogies change when have your idea of evil. Okay, enlighten me, what is evil? you stated that you have an atheistic belief, so I will assume that you believe the creation of the world through evolution. (Tell me if I'm wrong) You mentioned genocide, infantcide, rape and whatnot, but to what are you comparing evil? If we are all accidents, why would it matter anyway? In the end, it's just one accident killing another, what's to become evil? Answer me this.

This preaching is just what is needed.

@RJpsyco009 Circumcision is only needed by those with the medical condition of having a foreskin too short for the erect penis, causing discomfort.

The vast majority of intact men never have any problems. If you had a problem, it's probably because in the US people don't know how to take care of the intact penis. Anyway, amputation of a healthy sexual organ is simply wrong.

Circumcision is genital mutilation, and it was always evil.

Cirumcision is NOT recommended. No medical organization recommends routine infant circumcision, and many recommend against it as a violation of human rights.

@brajamtho757 Under what standard of insanity? YOUR standard? I bet you don't even know why He commanded circumcision of Jewish men, or that it's no longer required of God because the Law only revealed how sinful man was. Jesus Fulfills the requirements of the Law in his death on the Cross.

Aside from that, I for one KNOW how being uncircumcised (until I was 8 yrs old) can be a painful and annoying situation. I won't go into details, but it IS recommended medical procedure for many.

@RJpsyco009

Only here where people believe the lies that are told about it, that it actually has benefits. Circumcision destroys an important part of the male genitalia. Most of the world isn't circumcised, and they have no problems with their normal genitals.

The point is, any god who commands people to carve up their children's genitals is a psychopathic retard.

@MegaZoe91 I am stating that Christians do not circumsize due to their religion... I do know some Christians wo are circumsized due to medical ailments, and like you said, some may be due to their culture, but it is not because the biblie calls on us to do it.

[MegaZoe91]

@dkbob1 some Christians do. its a cultural thing in Africa and Asia especially, dont try and act like u know everything

@danderson1389 Praise God! All these old fashioned people tend to forget that GOD CREATED SEX!!!!

[RJpsyco009]

@dkbob1 Yea... circumcision is more of a standard medical procedure nowadays...
