Thanks, y'all for such interesting answers!

The Bible is pretty clear about women submitting to men and men treasuring and caring for them. I have no issues with what I do with my husband, because it's consensual, but I do know there are those with, shall we say, less conventional situations.

I would ask that this thread be kept clear of "religion is irrelevant or useless or unnecessary" sorts of comments. That's not the topic at hand. Feel free to open another topic about that, but please keep it from this thread.
