LovedOne:
You are making the incorrect assumption that thinking of ANYTHING sexual within the context of married love requires “self-mastery” and is an “occasion which might provoke or encourage SIN.”
I agree with the poster who said you are rigid and suffer from scupulosity.
And it concerns me that the thousands of posters who read the threads here and are interested in the truth and beauty of the Catholic faith will be TURNED OFF because of your narrow and innaccurate take on what constitutes “lust” and what constitutes rightly ordered desire and passion that God placed in the pure hearts of men and women.
To you - ALL passion and desire is lust.
And readers who are reading here - please do not think that.
Lust is a disordered desire for another seeing them only as an object and a means to an end.
Hardly the case of a betrothed beloved about to enter into the sacrament of matrimony and joyfully anticipating it.

For those readers so curious, please read Pope John Paul II’s “Theology of the Body” and also Christopher West’s “Good News About Sex & Marriage” which explains in wonderful language easy to read the beauty of married love.

Actually, no, you are incorrect in your statements of what I think and believe. Ridiculous distortions of what I said, confusing the beauty of the marital embrace with the problems of its misuse. I have to keep coming to clarify what I said every time someone twists it around because I feel like I am responsible for what I say, since, like I mentioned, it was what I learned while I was getting ready for marriage, in 2004. This isn’t an opinion I came up with, it is what I learned in research and talking with good priests. I thought it would be of benefit to others, but not if people keep changing it and making it sound like I’m saying I learned that sex is always lust or whatever else is being said.

Nevertheless, I do agree that JPII’s “Theology of the Body” and Christopher West’s “Good News About Sex & Marriage” are great books on love and marriage. (The latter actually addresses the subject of “spicing up” your relationship very well)
