That's interesting. Do you believe that sex within marriage should be reserved for child-bearing only (not for the sake of sharing intimacy with one's spouse) or is it just the "ick" factor?

- James

I am not a Romanist, I do not believe sex is confined to the purpose of childbearing only.

I do not understand the "ick factor" comment. Marriage is the proper place for sex according to God's Word (For example: "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous." Hebrews 13.4 ESV).

As far as the time of a woman's period- I do not believe that is a proper for sexual contact. In the Old Testament it was made clear: "If a man lies with a woman during her menstrual period and uncovers her nakedness, he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people." (Leviticus 20.18 ESV)
