How far (spiritually) can you go with multiple wives?

Post by _zeezrom »

On another thread, Just Me said,
[Polygamy] is still practiced in the church. You just can't have sex with anyone other than your legal wife. There are living men who are sealed to as many as 3 or 4 LIVING women all at the same time. The only difference is that only one wife is a legal wife.


Let's say you are a Mormon guy who is sealed to more than one woman. We know you can't have sex with anyone other than your current, legal spouse. But what about spiritual sex? Can you do that with your other wives? I don't know of any LDS doctrine that would prevent you from doing so.

Seems rather unfair that a man can have multiple spiritual wives for "spiritual sex," while a woman can't.

Sort of opposite to the religious prohibition against men "spilling seed," while the woman is not wasting any of her fertility potential by self-stimulation.

I don't think this is mentioned in the Bishop's Handbook. So I think you would be okay to park the spiritual plymouth into the garage of love.

This all reminds me of this:

What the eff is spiritual sex? I need to know if I'm getting my fair share or not.

A good way to look at this is by considering how we deal with other spiritual things like

1. spiritual witness
2. spiritual knowledge
3. spiritual eyes
4. spiritual sacrifices

See? It can't get much clearer than that!

I had the same question. Maybe Nightlion can help us out?

What is "spiritual wifery"?

Has anyone ever asked, "What the eff is spiritual wifery?"

Spiritual sex is the same thing as physical sex except you don't do it physically. Why is this so hard to understand?

Is the orgasm physical or spiritual?

Just Me,

This is the way I look at it.

You know how when you read the Book of Mormon and pray about it, you gain a spiritual confirmation of it's truthfulness? There is a spiritual confirmation (the truth) and a physical component (the feelings you get). There is a swelling motion in your breast that is completely physical. God does this as a way to confirm the spiritual aspect to the truth so you (as a physical being) can understand. It is one of the many blessings of having a physical body. Nightlion, Droopy, and others might be able to share a plethora of scripture in this regard.

Now, regarding spiritual sex. There must be a physical component in order to tie the spiritual side to the truth of the matter (intimacy with the spirit wife).

So, a different kind of burning. Sounds hot.


This takes "safe sex" to a whole new level.
