Call To Action: Pastor Issuing 7-day Sex Challenge

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/11/12/ap/strange/main4596614.shtml

DALLAS, Nov. 12, 2008
(AP) The pastor of a mega-church says he will challenge married congregants during his sermon Sunday
to have sex for seven straight days _ and he plans to practice what he preaches.

"We're going to give it a try," said the Rev. Ed Young, who has four children with his wife of 26 years.

Young, 47, said he believes society promotes promiscuity and he wants to reclaim sex for married couples.
Sex should be a nurturing, spiritual act that strengthens marriages, he said.

"God says sex should be between a married man and a woman," Young said. "I think it's one of the greatest
things you can do for your kids because so goes the marriage, so goes the family."

Young said he will deliver his seven-day sex challenge while sitting on a bed in front of his Dallas-area
church campus.

He is founder of the nondenominational Fellowship Church, which draws about 20,000 people each Sunday
and also has campuses in Fort Worth, Plano and Miami.

Earlier this year, a southwest Florida pastor, perhaps having more faith in his congregants' stamina,
issued a 30-day sex challenge.

1. "God says sex should be between a married man and a woman."

Not a married woman? Just a woman? hmmm. Anyway, yeah he is an asshole.

[hootinholler]

40. Yeah, but married to each other?

:rofl:

-Hoot

[Breeze54]

41. I don't think that's what "the pastor" had in mind....

:P

Sex out in front of the church? That's what he's selling.

Can we get a camera crew to Dallas, ASAP?!

:P

[Lint Head]

2. Forced sex promoted by a so called Christian?

Technically a wife or husband can prosecute their spouse for rape. Forced sex is not a joke. Sex is a private act between two consenting adults. Consent is something that is defined by law. Ignorant ministers are one of my major pet peeves. :dem:

[Breeze54]

5. "Technically a wife or husband can prosecute their spouse for rape" ... It's the LAW NOW!!

Finally!!!! :grr:

But I understand what you're saying.

[trof]

3. Any live demos planned?

:rofl:

[Breeze54]

6. "Young said he will deliver his seven-day sex challenge while sitting on a bed in front of his Dalla

"Young said he will deliver his seven-day sex challenge while sitting on a bed in front of his Dallas-area
church campus."

:P

:rofl:

[av8rdave]

20. He needs to have long hair and granny glasses for the full effect

[WritersBlock]

4. Aren't you supposed to call a doctor after four hours, though? I mean, seven DAYS?? n/t

[Breeze54]

8. If that Pastor isn't doing the Big 'V'; then he's just bragging!!

:P

[atommom]

21. Just don't drink the whole vial.

:wow:

[RedLetterRev]

13. Damn! Won't he stop when he smells smoke?

All I need is four good minutes.

I know what I'm doing.

:rofl:

Edit: Never type while rofl.

[QC]

7. Fundamentalist sex! n/t

[Starry Messenger]

9. I saw this posted on FR yesterday.

The responses were...well...ugh. Yes you can have too much information about the love lives of freepers.

[cayuga]

10. Like Groucho Marx said:

"I love my cigar, too...but I take it out of my mouth every once in a while".

[Ganja Ninja]

11. What a pathetic way to get laid.

Sounds like Reverend Puddy.

[fed_up_mother]

28. Actually, it's not that pathetic

Married folks with two jobs and kids tend to put sex on the back burner. And for a good reason - they're tired. He's reminding folks to make some time for sex.

It's a stunt, but it's not a bad stunt.

It's only bad if one person is forced.

[Warren DeMontague]

31. Yeah, the implied dig at all sex that isn't hetero and married is bad.

But, really, I'm not overly concerned with what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedrooms, and that goes for these folks too.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

12. First of all, all things are sacred

sex among them. As such, it is something that should not be forced, but rather spontaneously enjoyed when both partners are in the mood.

[RedLetterRev]

14. You KNEW this was, uh, coming

Every Sperm is Sacred

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

15. Well, they are,

but then so is the right of every women to tell that sperm where to go :)

[RedLetterRev]

17. Or not to!

And "no" means "no". And "not now" isn't "not ever", it's "not now" and also a perfectly valid response. I think either partner can reserve that right.

Yeah, we definitely cool on that one!

[Kalyke]

16. Nothing new in my household.

Thankfully. :loveya:

I love my husband. Sigh.

[RedLetterRev]

18. Even after nearly 13 years

hooyeah. We still chase each other around, but we don't run TOO fast :D

Ain't it great! :loveya:

[Kalyke]

34. Ain't nothing like some slap and tickle.

Now I have to go call him and talk "dirty" to him. :)

[peace frog]

19. Gotta be makin' them white Christian babies, ya'll

?v=0

[Bertha Venation]

22. "he wants to reclaim sex for married couples" - WTF?

Why are fundies obsessed with sex?

~~~

Why don't Baptists make love standing up?
They're afraid someone will think they're dancing.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

38. How does he propose "reclaiming" sex for married couples?

Who or what is he suggesting that married couples need to "reclaim" sex from? Unmarried straights and gays, lesbians, and bisexuals? WTF does it mean to "reclaim" sex and if married couples are having more sex does that mean that unmarried straights, gays, lesbians, and bisexuals will be having less sex or be unable to do it altogether?


Well, that article wins my :wtf: moment of the day to be sure!

[Breeze54]

39. Maybe they just toss the house keys in a bowl and swing!

They are pathetic, that's for sure and he plans on having sex with his wife (so he says)
out in front of the church!!! Can we get a video crew there ASAP!?! I have to see this!!!

:wtf:

[Ishoutandscream2]

23. Ah, what if it's that time of the month for a woman?

I'm glad they're seeing the women's side in this.:sarcasm:

[Gwendolyn]

25. What about women's side in this? That's quite the sexist remark.

[Ishoutandscream2]

26. That's EXACTLY what I meant concerning the woman's side

I know my wife and I can't have relations with her when she is having her period. She has a very heavy flow. Point being - the woman is supposed to have sex with her husband every day for a week. What if the woman was like my wife, and unable to perform. What would the church say about that? That was the point.

[Gwendolyn]

27. Scuza! I thought you were making a blanket statement regarding "purity"

in OT terms. During the time of the gift, women are considered unclean. Which is sexist.

It's really a matter of personal taste, and recently the Dobsons publically announced that while the regular way is best, all forms of love are okay. So that doesn't let fundie wives off the hook.

And I believe Jesus said that thinking about it is as good as doing it, so there's no excuse whatsoever not to take part in this historical event. :)

The more they promote sex for fun rather than for procreation, the better for everyone is my motto.

[anigbrowl]

29. Then you put a towel down first. That's what we do, anyway.

[yurbud]

24. It's harder to stray when your tool is recharging--or should I say limper

[Warren DeMontague]

30. They're trying desperately to make Wackjob Xtianity look "fun". I guess it'll keep em out of trouble

for a week, at least. :shrug:

[Gwendolyn]

32. There's that aspect.

:)

This dude is just selling fundie-ism like anyone would sell a car. With sex.

The more these people disassociate sex with procreation the less the argument holds that others shouldn't enjoy marriage even if the primary function isn't producing progeny. So I hope they market this ad infinitum.

[Warren DeMontague]

35. And I get a real "methinks they doth protest too much" vibe from all these things.

See, we LOVE sex! We enjoy our sex lives! We do it all the time!

Really!

I have trouble believing that folks indoctrinated with large dollops of guilt, fear and shame around sexuality in general just cast off the chains and start having hot, steamy, deeply enjoyable coitus the minute they get into the safe confines of a Christ-centric marriage.

Particularly if they're not lying about the whole "abstinence-until" deal, I would imagine most of them don't have much of a clue as to what they're doing with their partners.
