All this talking about sex (see prior post) has me hot and bothered...But NOT in a sexual way.

I grew up in the Midwest and spent many years entrenched in a religious community that believed men were the kings of the house (as God was the master of man) and that it was a woman's job to please him. And there was/is some pretty strong scripture to back up this belief.

"The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband also gives authority over his body to his wife. So do not deprive each other of sexual relations." (1 Corinthians 7:4-5)
