[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here. That was very deep. You obviously have put much thought into sex. I know my understanding of sex is very limited if I'm gonna use all that you said. Honestly, what you wrote was too deep and too surfer -like zen for me to get. But thanks for trying anyway.[/quote]

OP, they aren't my ideas that I made up.  And they are profound, but simple.  I'll try a different explanation.

Is this any easier to follow, OP?

Not OP, but how does this apply to older people? I was sterilized more than 5 years ago (wife here) when I was in my early 40s, so sex has nothing to do with procreation now for us.[/quote]

PP, the vast majority of sex during a woman's life is not procreative.  Even women who do not use contraception and are not sterilized are fertile only a few days a year.  Sex is not ONLY about procreation, but procreation is an essential aspect of understanding sex.

When spouses make love, they MUST embrace ALL of one another, completely.  Fertility or infertility.  Even if you had to have a hysterectomy, you still need to respect the procreative power of sex as part of its design for it to be what it should be.

And part of that design is that we get to enjoy it for bonding and physical pleasure without a single thought of babies for most of the time!  Already pregnant, nursing, after menopause--babies are not possible.  But we still need to acknowledge and respect sex for its full purpose in order to enjoy it properly and completely.

Theology of the Body is a coherent, complete whole.  It's about physical love at every stage of life:  single, married, parenting, elderly.  The rules apply to everyone.  Because sex is what it is.  It was designed a certain way.

There will come a time that I cannot have children anymore.  Since I am AMA, I know that time is coming soon, and I will be very sad.  But I will be at peace, because it will just be another season, another way of living the Theology of the Body, and it is all as it should be.

Another good example is infertility.  I personally hoped to have many children, but if I had been unable to, I would have found great
Comfort and peace living this theology, even though I did not get the outcome my heart desired.  ToB is just one aspect of my faith.  And the more I see the consequences of living in conflict with ToB, the more proof I have that it is true.[/quote]
