Just Do It Already
Wow!! Just found this site back in January. Again, Wow! The timing is amazing. Providence?
Sex has always been good for my husband and me, but life has been busy. We’ve been married a few years. Just this past month, my husband and I found and are settling into a place where we feel we can begin raising kids at last. It’s way out on the edge of town. The huge backyard has a tall fence, and the back gate butts up against a few square miles of public land. Now, given what we have found on MH, I felt the need to say something, if for no other reason than what I read in Gal 6:6: “The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.” (NASV).
We’re still working through the last few months’ articles. There is so much here. I hope to start digging backward soon. Did I mention, Wow!? Specifically, as I was looking through the list of all the different categories, I came across one called “Holy Sex” and just had to look. Not a lot of articles but what I found amazed me. Of course, we both knew that God gave us one another and sex and all, but there is a lot more here to ground a sex life in the Word than I had ever seen before, just laid out. I read them all, and they were all great and offered a lot of food for thought. Most immediate to us was “You are Beautiful: a Study of the Song of Solomon for Two.”
I’m not trying to flatter anyone here, but the old saying about imitation being the sincerest form seems to fit. That, along with Gal 6:6, got me to write. The author’s introductory homily or exhortation to just do what the Word, in general, and the Song, in particular, says struck a chord. I’d read the Song once or twice in the past and found it interesting in a kind of quaint historical way. I had heard the usual spiritual metaphors drawn from it, but never anything like this. I showed it to my husband, and it hit him much as it had me. So we sort of followed the suggested instructions and printed off a pair of copies. A cup of tea and a half hour’s reading later, we both looked up from where we were sitting, and I said, of course, “Wow!” and my husband said, “Yeah.”
Then looking straight at me, he didn’t ask but stated, “Hon, we’re gonna do this. Together. With all the Lord had given us to do it.” The intensity of his statement and gaze sent a shiver right through me. I could only nod my agreement.
You know, it’s a good thing we took the time to read through it completely, just sitting there with our clothes on that first time. For us at least, the instructions given in the article haven’t quite worked. We tried, did just what was suggested. Stripped, sat side by side, and started reading our parts. When we got to the scene where the beloved tastes his fruit, we dropped everything, and I sucked him dry. That evening, we had a great time in bed, too.
A couple of nights later, we tried again. We got to the first references to her Stag on the mountain and had to drop everything right there. My Stag took his Doe bent over and with her head butting into the nearest recliner as she held onto the armrests. Wow! We’d never tried it that way before.
Who knew the Bible could be so hot? His Word is truly full of good things for us. We aren’t even trying to make it all the way through in one pass. We’re just looking at each other as we read our parts and seeing what happens.
There weren’t many comments on this Bible study—maybe because it’s so long; I don’t know. But the more I think about what we have here, I want to encourage every married couple to take the Word at its word. Take the time to print a copy or two and just haul off and DO IT.
In the meantime, the article “Leap” has added a wonderful new level to the call for my Stag. If it hadn’t been for really looking at the Song and finding your Outdoor Sex category, who knows how long it would have taken us to realize what we have, now that we actually have an outdoors. It’s also spring, and as we start our first real garden, we’ll naturally have to put things like “It All Started In the Garden“, and “Spring Planting” into practice. As soon as we can get some good paths out through the public land, I fully expect this Hind to have her own tale of giving her Hart a chase.
There is so much good advice and many amazing stories to take and make our own as we do them. If I’m not pregnant before this summer is out, it surely won’t be from lack of trying out all that we’ve discovered. I’ll try to write more when I feel I can describe some of our hoped-for escapades well enough to give back some of what I’ve been given. Thanks, MH, and oh yes… did I say it? WOW!!
It’s great that you’ve caught the spirit of the purpose of MH! You write very well. We look forward to your stories!
Nice Story. We've been doing it for 42 years. (If you think this site is neat. Try SOTB.)
Oh wow! It's you. Thanks so much for the encouragement but also for the inspiration. My very first comment on MH was for your story about the quickie at the health club. I do have a second story approved and scheduled for a couple of weeks from now as a result of our following up on that comment. Though it went down a little different path than yours once we got into it it was sure a wonderful eye opener for me. I look forward to knowing how it strikes you when it comes out.
Beth we (my wife & I) are glad you were inspired enough by our fun time at the health club to give it a try yourselves! You & your husband should certainly do things “on your own path” as you put it. I hope you remembered to lock the door in the family or handicapped changing room! I suspect that we are not the only married couple who have taken advantage of the private family & handicapped changing rooms in that sexy unique way! We are glad you two found a way too!
Well you've made my day. You two did exactly what I had hoped to inspire folks to do with the Song, live it. The word is supposed to abide in us and us in it. We need to remember the Song is part of that revealed word for our good. We are to walk in it and you sure did. As we find in Eph 2 it gives us as couples good works prepared in advance for us as His workmanship to do.
When I put together that sort of amplified version of the Song I had one severe limitation that could not be overcome. I'm a guy, nothing to be done about it. So I really couldn't do much of anything but place emphasis with what was almost certainly a male bias. What I'd really like to see is one or more of the wonderful ladies here at MH tackle that. As a guy I''m sure I'd find something like that very enlightening. Any takers?
Anyway, thanks beth, you go girl!!
beth, this post makes my heart swell up with joy for the discoveries that you and your husband have made and will continue to make! Praise God for giving you this avenue to connect passionately and fulfill one another's needs. Remember to communicate as you explore, expressing how you feel and listening for each other's concerns as well as desires. I can't wait to read your next story!
Great story Beth! Please write more. Thanks for sharing and stay horny for your spouse always! God bless.
