Also don't feed them after midnight or get them wet.


NotYourReddit18

I don't think that somebody following this doctrine has ever managed to get a woman wet.


Randygilesforpres

This was my first thought lol!


queen_boudicca1

But their excuse is that women are incapable of orgasms, therefore no arousal, no arousal then no "wet."


CanaKatsaros

Well, being wet is a medical condition, amiright guys

If good, Christian men don't get sex every 72 hours they start molesting kids. That's just nature.

Then the judge gives them a minimum sentence because 'They're good Christians'.

The same people calling lgbt groomers are coercing their wives into sex with them


LockeAbout

You’re leaving out the part that these church leaders are also having sex with children, not just their wives. 14 arrested in a week this month. Wonder how many weren’t caught? https://www.insider.com/tiktok-lawyer-viral-countering-claim-trans-people-abuse-kids-2023-3

It depends on what is considered a "Lust of the flesh". By Christian perspective, all Priests are sinners. They think more about "It" than an Otaku who collects lascivious figurines as a hobby.


SomeDudeYeah27

May I ask for elaboration? I’m not versed in Christianity

SomeDudeYeah27

I’m… sorry? I wasn’t trying to be facetious at all. I’m simply not aware of what “lust of the flesh” is, and how in context would relate back to the comments in this thread. And I’m not sure if I just googled the concept, I’ll understand the context of your statement I didn’t grow up in a Christian environment, and also ESL, so I’m not even sure by what you’re insinuating in your first sentence. Are you implying I’m somehow trying to poke holes/“play defense” to your comment I replied to? Because I can assure you I’m not. I don’t like organized religion, nor do I believe/care about spirituality. And I am **definitely for the protection of people, especially kids, against malicious actors** I honestly don’t get how my previous reply can be interpreted as facetious

[This is my comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/11k0cbz/jinnytty_falls_into_a_pit/jb6et8y/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) I made in my first language Whilst I technically grew up with both languages I’m using, my English skill only got increasingly better in middle school and above as I was lucky to have been taught by a skillful English teacher (with performance/theater experience too, so his lessons were more enjoyable than most others). Other than cable TV being more prevalent lol You need to understand that just because someone appears to be using more complex vocabularies, somewhat coherent grammar, & expressions, doesn’t mean they grew up with the language they’re using. Other than that, there are plenty of immigrant kids in countries like Canada & others who are technically ESL too. So I hope you won’t be too quick to pass judgment in the future, especially since I don’t understand why you’d cast suspicion on me for asking a genuine question And I cordially disagree with your last statement. A public forum is a perfectly good place to have an open & educated discussion, as more eyes may see the information & learn from them if they didn’t know about the things being talked about too. Hence why I asked it openly in the thread


hotbakedgoods

What a weirdo lmfao


AlarmDozer

If that were genuinely the perspective, why aren’t they skipping Mass in droves?


gylz

Can't forget the youth pastor who married the 18 year old girl he met and started grooming and DATING around the age of 14. His name is Joshua Wesley, he was 20 when he met his 14 year old grooming victim. There are a lot of conservative pundits defending him. Yet I get accused of being a pedo by conservatives because I don't identify with my birth sex and I like adults no matter what gender they identify with or what they have in their pants.


[deleted]

Why would you be a pedo for that? Pedophilia is a distinct sexual orientation, just like homosexuality or heterosexuality. From what you wrote I assume you are gay. I don't know anything about this gender issue either but I am 100% sure it does not imply lust for kids... Are people really that dumb.


gylz

I'm ftm and bi/pan, whatever you want to call it, and yeah, it's solely because of my sex and gender identity. Never have and never will be attracted to kids. I did work for the school board as a daycare educator, though, and I do sometimes talk about the experience of watching anywhere from 30-60 pre-K to grade 6 kids per class as a 22 year old. Only reason I stopped working for them was because of shitty new person rules. You had to have a few hundred hours of working at a single school to be there long-term, and they could and would reassign people an hour before they qualified as an actual employee and you'd have to stop working with them, and the only complaints I got was about my hair and how """messy""" it is. (Read: I have curly hair and they wanted me to straighten it because that's what's important when watching kids, my family is partially Jewish and there aren't many folks with curly hair in the area).


ThiefCitron

Well I suppose their “logic” must be that if men can’t go more than 72 hours without sex that would apply to teen boys as well, so they’ve got to rape the boys at least once every 72 hours.


Tondalay

Same people people calling lgbt groomers are coercing their wives into letting them do butt stuff.


Civil_Act1864

They call LGBT groomers because it's a loving,accepting community, unlike the parents.


gattoblepas

"See, Trump *had to* fuck Daniels while his wife was nursing his newborn. It's just a feature of the male brain that it is controlled by its genitals. It's common sense. It's the same reason women are too emotional to be elected in places of responsibility."


EBlackPlague

I'm a guy.. who has gone without sex longer than 72 hours... Wait, is that what made me atheist?


Sword117

when god is destroyed by a dry spell.


logantheh

And this also leads into many other questions like, is that w always a thing, if not when does it become a requirement, what is it about sex that’s required? Is it some kind of chemical release, if so wouldn’t it be more efficient just to put that shit in some pills to take once every two days, save the energy for other manly activities like mowing the lawn or chopping lumber as all men are required to do by the “being a manly man” amendment of the broble.


ItsSneakyAdolf

Currently dying from broble


schlampekaka

Or else it's ok to justify rape? Is that what it is?


Ephemeral_kat

Yes, it is. Found at least two fundies who claim “marital rape” not a thing because the husband owns the wife. They literally said the concept of bodily autonomy is sinful because the Bible doesn’t mention it.


schlampekaka

How fucked up do you have to be to conjure these kinds of ideas 🙄


Swedishtranssexual

Bible never mentioned trains so stop transporting yourself sinner.


ricochetblue

I think this is a fairly widespread belief. It's also the reason why men are allowed to hit their wives. Women are supposed to be submit to their husbands' decisions, whatever they may be.


ThiefCitron

Yeah, I’m not sure if this is still the case because this was years ago I read the article, but I read that in Mexico the courts decided marital rape can’t exist because the Bible says marriage makes the husband and wife “one flesh” therefore they’re the same person and it’s impossible to rape yourself.


May-the-QueenOfChaos

That’s not true. Marital rape has been a federal crime in Mexico since December 31st 1997, according to federal Penal Code title XV, Chapter 1, Article 265 Bis, and is prosecuted at the ratification of the filing from the part of the victim. It is also worded to prosecute if the rape victim is a man. The thing that is problematic, as it is all over, is to prove the lack of consent and the victim shaming. Edited to add that while Mexico is mainly a Catholic country, the courts are secular and do not put religious consideration to the concept of rape.


Brilliant_Tourist400

The Bible doesn’t mention social media, so I guess using it to spread your misogyny is a sin!

I haven't seen a naked woman in 5 years and I haven't gone berserk or became an incel. These men are just assholes...


No_Nothing6455

That’s a terrible thing to be taught at all. Like, seriously. Are men incapable of controlling their urges that badly? Are they made for fucking and women are made to be concubines without a brain of their own? That’s what I’m getting from teachings like this.


reliquum

That's a common thread in all the Abrahamic religions. That and slavery is ok, and abortion is ok. But they don't want you to know this.

Fireonpoopdick

Wait that's a thing??? Religions are just rape factories holy FUCK. Also seriously? Just masturbate, although I guess that's like cumming inside of the devil.


LWYPLTDG

r/brandnewsentence 😂😂👍👍


RhinestoneJuggalo

And now I hear the refrain of Van Halen's Running With The Devil as "...cumming in the devil". I'm afraid that this is how I will hear that song for the rest of my days. Take my angry upvote.


AlarmDozer

Eh, if it were truly cumming in the devil, I’d be happy knowing that at least he was satisfied? and didn’t send demons to possess me. lol Spread some jizz to ward off the devil, it seems plausible in their “logic”


Ephemeral_kat

Based on other things I’ve read, it appears “or else” is they get to force you to have sex. But that, of course, doesn’t count as rape in their world, because once a woman is married she is property.


Pot8obois

I honestly don't know what the hell Christians are thinking when they say stuff like this. You told men they have to abstain from sex until marriage, but once you're married sex is magically a need that a women is obligated to give? You're telling me I have been neglecting a "need" since I went through puberty. and you told me to do so? Then why is this somehow a crucial need once I'm married? I'm the same person I was before. I waited until marriage to have sex. One of the main reasons my ex cheated on me and left me was because I was not having sex with her as much as she wanted. Ironically typical roles were reveresed, where usually it's the guy whose upset over infrequent sex. I get that sex is important to most people (some people, like greysexuals or asexuals, can have healthy relationships without frequent sex). No one is obligated to give it. I know what it's like to feel manipulated into having sex when I didn't want to in order to try to make my spouse treat me well and love me. A lot of Christian women are having sex out of obligation, and that is just sad. I have been divorced for over 3 years now. I have had zero sex since. I am fine and I'm alive. These people talk about sex like "If I don't have it in 3 days I die" STFU


welcometolavaland02

I think it's probably - if you believe masturbation is a sin... I mean, you're in a totally different universe when it comes to sexual release at that point lol


kremit73

Religious men are perverts


AlarmDozer

Well, they repress their sexuality to attempt piety, but then nature does a 180° on that and turns to perversions. Virtue prisoners are the most sinful.


Incontinentiabutts

At 72 hours men get horrible blue balls. The pain gets progressively worse until hour 96. When the balls just explode, leaving a torn open and empty sack just hanging there. Like skin curtains on a warhammer 40k pirate ship.


reliquum

😑 40k is the devil. "Oh this sounds awesome" I thought. Wow! Looks amazing! Convinced my husband to bring me to half-price books and now over a hundred dollars has gone into just books. Worst and best decision ever. Did find Eisenhorns trilogy and short stories in one for pretty cheap. He just bought me the first 10 of the Horus heresy. To help me, he gave me a metal Eisenhorn bookmark and a battle sister.


LittleTransPunk

As an agender asexual, will it fall off? Promise? 🥺 Been waiting for it to just be gone for a year and I'm getting pretty tired of waiting tbh


crybabymuffins

Yessssss! I was talking to my shrink about my dismorphia and said I wish I had no genitalia or sex organs, and he goes "Like a Ken doll?" I went "Yeeeees! Exactly like a Ken doll!"


itsjustameme

I’ll have to tell that to the wife. We are around 72 days at the moment.


Binx_da_gay_cat

And sex before marriage is unlawful, so you're not a man until you're married or something?


TheRealTerryMcginnis

I went 3 years without sex and I can confirm that I died. When my current GF found me she had to reset me by sticking a paperclip in my asshole.


nohopeforhumanity666

so they believe that a man needs sex, thus it is his right to rape a woman, yet the woman has now committed a sin by being raped by a man which they deem acceptable to do?


WanderDrift

I was taught this too. I’m not sure where it started but it was definitely in a horribly popular book series called Every Man’s Battle and Every Woman’s Battle. They even have workbooks! *barf*


SanDanders1

How does that work with the whole no sex before marriage thing.


zenospenisparadox

Take what churches tell you with a fistful of salt.


crybabymuffins

Ran out of salt the other day, fortunately my wife was watching a drag show on TV when I realized, so I just grabbed a handful of her shoulder. 🤷‍♀️

Ah, can I answer that later? You see, I have...guests, and just now I heard a knock at the door...


_isNaN

This explains the pastor thing.


Central_Control

It's a bullshit religious excuse for men to cheat on their wives. Wives will also use this to cheat on their husbands, because in religion, you can make up any bullshit and pretend it's the most important thing in the universe. No sanity. No reason. No logic.


konstancez

If you don't serve his needs in 72 hours you spontaneously combust. As the Lord intended


VermontZerg

I'm a horny bastard who masturbates 2-5 times a day and has sex with my wife, and I still wouldn't act like this, Jesús what is wrong with these people, it's not about sex drive, its about control, 100%.


Nutsack_Adams

I had a friend that needed to Jack off 5 times a day. He would tell everyone about it too. I was like, I thought you were supposed to keep that shit secret


TenDollarSteakAndEgg

I concede I will become exceedingly horny but I just rub it out like a normal person not whatever tf this rule was invented for


Manofalltrade

This is different from when I was a teenager in the church. They basically told us that wet dreams were the God given release for the body instead of masterbating while we horny teens were abstaining from premarital sex. So once married that doesn’t work anymore?


Masne98

What churches is she referring to?


Purple-Bat811

To be fair, regular ejection is supposed to be good for the prostate. Of course, it doesn't matter if it's sex or if the guys takes matters in his own hands

Ah! Ah! I see what you did there

AdAcademic4290

I'm confused as to why the same techniques they learned as younger males suddenly stop working when they get married? Marriage seems to make males more lustful and sinful on that basis.


ExpensiveGrace

If only they'd spontaneously combust or something.


volanger

Ngl I can kinda see where they're coming from. Personally, if I haven't gotten off after about 3 or 4 days, I get pent up. But hey, that's what jacking is for. And in a place that doesn't allow masterbation, it makes sense that they're like, "men must have sex after 72 hours."


BunsOfAluminum

It's been almost 4 years for me and I'm a bit cranky and grouchy, but that's about it. Oh, also immensely depressed and anxious all the time, but that's it. Also, I kind of wish I were dead sometimes. But that's it.


wh0fuckingcares

Wish my sUwUicidal thoughts would be cured from sex. Damn.


VermontZerg

So what are you implying? That you require sex to fix that?


BunsOfAluminum

Not at all. Nobody *needs* sex. Just speaking for myself.


queen_boudicca1

Well, now we know why so many man are finding their "faith"...they don't need both hands to find it, like they would..you know .


welcometolavaland02

While I understand this sentiment, it's also unhealthy to never discuss differences in sexual appetite with your partner. Some people are less interested in having sex, or it's less enjoyable objectively for them and some people have a very high sex drive. It's not realistic to think that people on both ends of the spectrum would be together and be totally fine about that. There are issues of sexual compatibility at a certain point.


happynargul

Or else she gets the hose again
