I would also like to make a comment, referring to intimacy. While I agree that the quantity of sexual intimacy depends on the couple, as each couple is different, I disagree where one Anon said:
"If so, we would need to connect with God in material ways EVERY SINGLE OPPORTUNITY we have. And we don’t do it. And we don’t lose intimacy even if we dont spend every single day in fasting praying studying the Word in a deep relational way."
You're right, we don't take every single opportunity we have... but is that because we shouldn't or because we choose not to? Of course, we should look forward to spending time with God, and we should look forward to every opportunity we have to spend time with him. He should be a part of everything we do, meaning that he is with us every minute of the day. And while I know some days are busy in this earthly life, and we will not lose our relationship with God by going a day or two without a devotion, we do lose intimacy with God when we go for periods of time without praying or spending time in His word. We stay intimate with someone, whether God or a human relationship, by regularly spending time with them and sharing ourselves with them.

Having period sex is just gross and painful too. I don’t see where is the problem with having clean sex with a clean vagina. there are a lot of interesting positions. It doesn’t have to be bloody and gross 🙂

married sex is good anytime. And i definitely believe women use their periods like headaches to not engage in intimacy (while killing the deepest, best part of marriage)…

Haha, this is where early menopause is a blessing! I’m under fifty, in menopause, and I can tell you it’s better than ever!

Softcups work great for us! I just put one in before bed or when we start feeling frisky. I don’t feel it and my guy says sometimes he does but it doesn’t affect his enjoyment. I only recently discovered this product and am so thankful! During my period, especially after the first day or 2, I am easily aroused which, in turn, is such a huge turn on for him. We were both pretty excited (ha! no pun intended) to find that they actually work.

In reply to Kliphton Miller. Really? I have never heard that before. And that wasn't true for me. Interesting.

I grew up with all girl cousins, and had a few frisky women in my life time. And all of them said, if you take a bath during your cycle, the flo will stop for 30 minutes, so if your man lasts longer than that, then it will get messy. Other than that, get busy!

It’s on my NO list. See http://hotholyhumorous.blogspot.com/2011/06/uh-no.html.

One of the restrictions, I believe, is no sexual activity that causes injury to your partner. Anal sex has a high potential for injury. There are also Bible verses which make me question its advisability from God’s standpoint.

Some Christian experts disagree with me. For any couple who is considering this practice, I would suggest thoroughly researching it. My understanding is also that some husbands suggest anal sex because the opening is tighter and provides more pressure on the penis; if that is the issue, there are ways to provide greater pressure with vaginal penetration and anal sex isn’t necessary.

What about anal sex? Not even on your period, just in general?

In reply to Anonymous. My hubby liked that last comment: "You just can't unfry the egg." There may be comparisons of marriage to scrambled eggs in our future. Great stuff!

As to the 1st (or 2nd?) Anon, we disagree. I also never said that married couples must engage daily. Perhaps we're talking matters of degree here. I'm reminded of George Carlin's bit about how everyone driving faster than you is a maniac and everyone driving slower than you is an idiot. :) Inasmuch as possible, marriages should have both quantity and quality sexual intimacy, however that is measured for each individual marriage. How much is up to the couple to decide between themselves and before God.
