They raised a sex offender.

No, I don't think the number of kids says much about their sex life at all (other than they're at least having a sex a couple times a month, which describes most married couples, I'd think).

Mostly in this extreme case it's about 1) not using birth control and 2) very high fertility. In particular, that nursing doesn't stop (or potentially even really decrease) her fertility, which is fairly unusual. While nursing is not 100% effective as birth control, it definitely helps promote longer child spacing. Generally, a woman who nurses all her kids will have kids roughly 2 years apart (or more), but the reason they have so many kids is that she had one basically every year. Other people with their belief system (no birth control) tend to top out at more like 8-12 kids depending on age of marriage and fertility, and families like that are a dime a dozen in fundamentalist circles.

They are trying to have as many kids as possible. It’s what their imaginary man in the sky instructs them to do. They feel it is their duty to procreate as much as possible.

In addition to throwing out the birth control, you need to convince the older kids to parent the younger ones and/or seriously lower your standards for parenting. If I had 13 kids instead of 2, I can’t imagine having the time or energy to make #14.

+1 they were damn lucky that they had a few older girls to sister-mom the younger boys. I’ve noticed the families with a bunch of boys tend to be smaller even in fundie circles. There’s a semi-famous influencer couple who have 8 kids and “lives on a bus,” they have 7 boys and 1 girl and haven’t announced another pregnancy despite the youngest already being about a year and a half.

What a dumb, simplistic take, OP. She's in a cult that sexually abuses women.

And there was a whole episode on Jim Bob's tonsil stones, so... 🤢

This. Less of a sex Addict and more of a free use hole with no autonomy.

I don't know but if you watch Shiny happy people and you are a normal human you will think they are evil "christians". I was disgusted by them and their "church" watching that documentary.

I don't think they are - but I think she is available for sex whenever he wants it, which is probably a few times a week. I know a sex addict, and the couple is having sex 3x a week, often on drugs, and seek out adventurous sex etc., outside of the home.

Be less concerned about them and more concerned about wasting your brain cells and time watching shows like that.
