After reading your note, I told my wife that we shouldn’t talk about masturbation.

She became a little puzzled that I would even make a statement like that, but she went along and asked “why” when I proclaimed, “because it is a very touchy subject”

She goes “please” then laughed.

I would say masturbation in and of itself is not a sin: Masturbation: Hands On or Hands Off?

And I would say that killing someone for telling a harmless joke is a sin. 😉

You’re right, often only the two spouses would get the humor they share. And sex can be a funny thing. A little laughter in the bedroom never hurt anyone, right? In the right context, of course.

Sex is funny as Nick P said and also profound. When I first learnt what it was as a child I couldn’t understand why God had invented such a strange way to make babies.

Another guideline I remind myself of now and then is to take what I’m doing seriously (my calling, job, relationships….) but not take myself so seriously. I am married to a minister who takes her calling very seriously, and is sometimes too hard on herself (she admits this). So there are such moments. I’d say whatever humor works for you, and not just for sex. Our little, running in-joke goes something like this: she claims I’m not funny, and it’s true I don’t want to quit my day job and try to make it as a comedian. But then she starts laughing.
“You’re not funny!”
“Then why are you laughing?”
“Because – you’re not funny!”
“That doesn’t make sense.”
“Yes it does.”
Then I’ll go on about I think I’m funny, as a man thinks in his heart, so he is – Therefore:
I-am-funny
A sarcastic “uh hah” usually follows.

Seriously though…as for sex, I appreciate the humor here. It helps, and your handling of that “touchy” subject is not the first time I’ve noticed. Sometimes we just need a break from taking it all so seriously, and whether we’re being holy enough or getting enough of it. I know I do.
Thanks for the reminder. And the humor.

Cold water causes shrinkage, happens all the time,,, haha

The male members in your family must’ve seen an old Seinfeld episode about shrinkage. Interestingly, My wife and I never watched Seinfeld until 2008, after our kids moved on. I actually like watching my wife call all the characters as being “idiots”. haha

Not an appropriate show for kids, which is why we never watched it when our kids growing up.
