Are there limits to marital intimacy in Mormonism?

[_Hades]

Correct Mormon sex is missionary position only. Pull down the garments just enough to get 'er done. What ever you do don't enjoy it. Only have sexual relations when trying to get pregnant. Remember it is our duty as Mormons to multiply and replenish the Earth. You really can't have too many kids.

I totally forgot about the "sex with garments on" rule! OMG!

There is a general principle to avoid unnatural, impure or unholy practices, but that principle is wide open to interpretation.

No, it's not.

Good grief.

Please provide proof of a definitive interpretation.

I would double check with BC Space to see if that is doctrine.

If you need an itemized list of sex acts you can and can't do then you're doing sex wrong.

If you think that having sex is a pain in the ass, then you're doing it wrong.

Spencer W. Kimball (when Prophet) seems to think there are:
The union of the sexes, husband and wife (and only husband and wife), was for the principal purpose of bringing children into the world. Sexual experiences were never intended by the Lord to be a mere plaything or merely to satisfy passions and lusts. We know of no directive from the Lord that proper sexual experience between husbands and wives need be limited totally to the procreation of children, but we find much evidence from Adam until now that no provision was ever made by the Lord for indiscriminate sex.

Or does he:
President Kimball has observed: “The Bible celebrates sex and its proper use, presenting it as God-created, God-ordained, God-blessed. It makes plain that God himself implanted the physical magnetism between the sexes for two reasons: for the propagation of the human race, and for the expression of that kind of love between man and wife that makes for true oneness. His commandment to the first man and woman to be ‘one flesh’ was as important as his command to ‘be fruitful and multiply.’”

He sounds like a lot of fun in bed. I imagine his wife got this same lecture when she tried to get frisky with him.

I'm pretty sure Spencer W. was gay. He's the guy who thought that too much masturbation makes you gay. I can't imagine a straight man thinking that. Also, I've heard he had a reputation for being very affectionate with men.
