I can't say I've given much thought to the sex life of ANY person in the Bible.

Not obsessed with sex, just showing that Mary being a virgin until she died is utter rubbish and goes against the command to be fruitful and multiply.

Why would Joseph even marry her if he knew he would never be able to get sex from his own wife.


Genesis 35:11
New King James Version (NKJV)
11 Also God said to him: “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.


The very first command in the Torah and they followed the Torah, so its safe to assume mary was having sex with her husband.


Think people!

"And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of compassion and supplication, so that, when they look on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a first-born."

John 19:37 refers this verse to Jesus. John says that he and Jesus' mother were there at the cross, along with Mary of Clopas and Mary Magdalene. We know that Jesus was a first-born, and no one mourns or weeps over the death of a first-born as much as his mother. Why, then, do you want to ignore the rest of the prophesy?
No smuttyness here, just pointing out Mary had sex with her husband like any married woman would.

Thanks for pointing out that married people DONT have sex, even 2000 years ago.

I think virginity is easier to believe than people living to be over 900 years old.

Good on you, RD, and a fair question.

The question does not deserve an answer.

It is highly unlikely that any person in the planet could think the church calls married women slutty. It is very hard for me to believe that another person could actually think that. Therefore, this is just a an empty question that needs no answer.
