Sex is For Bunnies…But Not Only Them

In my initial post inviting questions from readers (Q&A with J at HHH), I mentioned a few rules. Among them was the following:

No protesters will be allowed the microphone. Yes, that means you in the back there with the big sign that says, “SEX IS FOR BUNNIES ONLY.” I am tired of your Rabbit-Centered Group harassing me day and night. Security will now be escorting you out of the building. Thank you very much.

Paul Byerly of one of my favorite marriage blogs, The Generous Husband, presented his question in the comments: “My bunny is single, but I think she is having inappropriate thoughts about her tennis ball. Any advice?”

Well, in keeping with my personal commitment to discuss anything and everything regarding sexuality with a biblical perspective and practical approach, I am answering this question!

First, Paul, the secular world is likely to suggest that your bunny do one of two things: (1) find another bunny in short order and set up a rendezvous or (2) take care of business with that tennis ball. In fact, you might see articles in Bunny Babes Magazine such as “Finding Furry Friends with Benefits” or “10 Ways to Make a Buck’s Bunny Ears Curl.” Moreover, the people who brought you and your dog the Hot Doll would probably be happy to design a tennis-ball shaped sex toy for your randy rabbit. But you and your bunny shouldn’t settle for anything less than God’s design for intimacy.

Rabbits mate for reproduction, not to say that they aren’t having a good time. However, God designed your bunny to engage in intimate activity with someone who will be the father of her bunny babies. Don’t let her get talked into some romp in the woods with no possibility of a litter of floppy-eared cuties coming from this act.

That said, the tennis ball isn’t going to do it. It may provide a temporary release of sexual tension, but not the deep satisfying intimacy that a better bunny can have by holding out for the real thing.

The Bible is clear that we should “flee from sexual immorality” (1 Corinthians 6:18). When Joseph found himself tempted by Potiphar’s wife (Genesis 39), he literally ran from her. In Matthew 18:9, Jesus says that “if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.” Indeed, that is what you need to do for your bunny.

No! Don’t gouge out her eye. It’s much easier in this case to simply remove the temptation. Get rid of that sultry tennis ball. Whatever is causing her mind to wander into dangerous territory needs to be tossed out the door.

That isn’t the end of it, though. The Apostle Paul gives advice about the unmarried in 1 Corinthians 7:9: “But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.” It sounds like your bunny is indeed having a hard time controlling her passions. Maybe it’s time to think about getting another bunny? Your doe might need a buck in the house to establish a relationship, get her jollies, and spread their gene pool. Bunnies are particularly good at heeding God’s commandment to “Be fruitful and increase in number” (Genesis 1:22).

Be forewarned, however. You might want to know what to expect if you bring a handsome buck into the home to satisfy your tennis-ball-obsessed bunny doe. The mating ritual involves the male mounting the female and wig-wagging quite a bit. It’s not a loud affair; bunnies are quiet. But you will know the male is done when he suddenly stops and falls over. (I kid you not. I looked it up.)

Sounds a little like some human husbands.

Unlike human hubbies, however, male bunnies only need a minute or so, and then they can go back at it. When the female bunny is “done,” I don’t know. I think she simply hops away.

I hope my answer helps you and your bunny in the quest for godly intimacy for all species. We could learn a little ourselves from this post, I think.

In short, for all the bunnies and non-bunnies out there:

  • If something is causing you sexual temptation, get some distance from it.
  • Your desire for sex is natural and God-given. It just needs to be in the right context — a committed marriage.
  • If you are married, get busy like a bunny. But try not to fall over when you’re done.

  1. Re: last three bullet points — A great way to summarize biblical sexuality! I wish I’d had this in mind when, after I shared why I’m passionate about it, my doctor recently asked: “what /is/ biblical sexuality?”

    BTW, I think you’ve just invented a new line to be added to the marriage vow:

    “I now pronounce you man and wife. Now get busy like a bunny!”

    1. Thanks, Greg! That new wedding line would have been awkward…since my father performed the ceremony. LOL!

    1. I surprise me sometimes too. My internal conversations are often like this: “You’re going to write about THAT?” “Yep, I am.” “Sheesh.” Thanks, Sis!

  2. If you do it right, you can’t help but falling over afterwards. Most guys are in way too big a hurry to get it done, sex feels good, why rush it?

    1. I laughed out loud when I read this! My husband seemed to agree with the done-and-fall-over approach. Hilarious, John.

  3. I feel slow today. It took me until the end to realize that this wasn’t a euphemism for a problem a dad was seeing in his daughter (or some other such thing). Ha!

  4. J – Brilliant, love it. Thanks for the laugh and the good advise.

    As to “Ivy” it’s gone from bad to worse, as she is now more interested in the pine cone than the tennis ball. As rabbits don’t see colour, there is certainly a “50 shades of grey” joke in there.

    Blessings!

    1. Perhaps Ivy needs to sign up with the online dating site, Hare-mony.com. They can probably find her a compatible buck.
