Let's not get going too strongly here. I can be guilty of that myself too, so I'm not trying to be a hypocrite. So long as everyone understands we are talking about opinions and interpretations, we shouldn't let ourselves get too excited. Nobody has started claiming that others are going to hell or anything like that yet, so we are still cool.

I have to say that from your own description you did not "lovingly meet the legitimate sexual needs of your spouse". The desire for sex and sexuality in marriage is seen in most major religions as a method by which couples both bond AND have children.
The issue of fetish vs "normal" sexuality and what God intends for people is a whole different issue than whether you or any of us for that matter is "lovingly meeting the sexual needs of our spouse".
I am very sorry that this issue causes you such pain. I am very sorry that the pain that you feel about determining what is right for YOU as a sexual being and child of God is so difficult. I will say that most of the people on this forum love their spouse, want good, happy, satisfying marriages AND aren't asking their spouses for anything that the other person finds distasteful, repugnant, unclean or anything else. They are merely trying to resurrect a sexual connection that was once there in their relationship or to navigate their way through relational issues that are affecting their sex life.
No worries I am done with the subject. Just had to put my 1 cents in. I value all opinions and beliefs I just don't stomach it when people cannot own there own opinions and hide behind God as a means to express there own view points.
But Chrissy is now jumping off the band wagon. And sure would like to see the thread turned back over to Nicky and her life!
Geez...the server comes crashing down at work today, missed all this interesting "stuff" that went on here today.
Anyway...I think it best to just end this thread...it's left a bad taste in my mouth.

I'll be glad to talk to you this time instead of people who muck up your thread with stuff that is better discussed elsewhere. Sorry for the hijack - couldn't let it go.
