There have been a few threads over last couple of days on Wendy Watson Nelson's ridiculous book, "The Not Even Once Club." The reviews on Amazon are humorous.

Well it turns out Wendy Watson Nelson doesn't just write psychologically damaging stuff for children. She has written a couple of books (before she polygamously married Elder Nelson) about sex and intimacy.

In particular, she has written about God-Ordained Marital Intimacy (GOMI). The stuff would be hilarious if not so psychologically damaging to the Mormons who read it.

Here's the link to the summary of GOMI v. "Wordly Sex": http://web.archive.org/web/20090407122306/http://ce.byu.edu/cw/fuf/archives/2001/WatsonWendy.pdf

This stuff was obviously written by a virgin. I really like the part about how prayer, fasting, and scripture reading are involved in GOMI and how personal revelation and sacred language is involved.

I think we may need to write some reviews on the book, especially those of us who can bear testimony of having practiced "god-ordained sex."

Oh gawd, I believe it was she that opined that her and Brother Nelson prayed before the deed to invite the spirit into the encounter.

Gotta love this tid bit from your link, there was this one that stood out to me:

"Exquisite care taken that activities don’t offend the Spirit"

Yeah, okay Wendy, you obvioulsy are one french short of a happy meal, "Exquisite care taken", really? Like what for example,

"oh Russey, not so hard, easy boy, um, well (out of breath), well maybe just a little harder, Russy, I think I'm going to pray now, but but but but keep going...oh Heavenly Father, we dedicate act of love uuuuuunto thee, oh JESUS CHRIST..and I mean that in a respectful way..."

Sounds a lot like what Warren Jeffs teaches.

I have the feeling that this sort of thing could
be traced back to Nauvoo, at least.

Also, among Reorganized LDS of the 19th and
20th century, it was not uncommon for the couple
to pray for a child, before engaging in intimacies.
Probably some fundamentalist Christians do this
nowadays as well.

A threesome with the spirit? That sounds so worldly! On the other hand, maybe that's what she meant by "under the influence of the spirit" and "spirit-enhanced passions."

Never thought of it that was (3some) but I may have experienced that too.

ON several occasions I've had women scream out Oh God! while making the beast with two backs.

Gross!

GOMI is perhaps better known as an acronym for Get Off My Internets, a website dedicated to ridiculing the ridiculous found on the interwebs.
This would be a prime candidate if she had a website instead of books.

If she was a virgin when she married Elder Nelson, I'm betting she is one sexually unfulfilled lady!

Just wrote a review of her book:

After reading Sister Nelson's book, I was really excited to incorporate some of her ideas into my marriage. I especially liked how she suggested incorporating prayer, fasting, and scripture study into God-Ordained Marital Intimacy.© I also tried incorporating the "sacred language" into my marital intimacy. However, my spouse just looked at me weird when I said, "Wouldest though like to knowest me after thou hath committed prelude?" (prelude is sacred language for foreplay).

Although I took "exquisite care" to ensure our "activities don't offend the spirit," my spouse did not have "a grand and glorious experience that will continue eternally." My spouse suggested that next time we stick to having "worldly sex" even if involves "carnal, sensual, and devilish passions."

I commend Sister Watson for these excellent suggestions but since she has never been married, perhaps the actual experience of making love is more valuable than her PhD in Family Therapy.

Is it just me or does it seem the women really appreciate this book, and the men despise it?

(Not trying to be sexist, that's just what I saw from the comments.)

Gag! Retch! Choke!

Wendy's book would be a major buzzkill in the bedroom for this female.

It's obvious she had no sexual experience of any kind when she wrote this $**t.

I think maybe her reasoning was that the Mormon temple marriage ceremony somehow infused Mormon marital sex with all kinds of qualities and attributes it didn't have before -- like boredom, ridiculousness, self-consciousness (unless you really enjoy threesomes with the Holy Spirit), pompousness, and utter lack of orgasms (especially for women).

I can't imagine a man being able to do the deed without at least a little bit of lust and carnal sensuality.

Wendy has reduced sex to a set of religious abstractions and platitudes that have nothing to do with, well, SEX.

By Godly command, Wendy Watson Nelson and her Anointed-One Husband are THE CHOSEN ONES who true own sex!

The rest of us are poor, unworthy simulators.

We should all abide by their counsel.

We must subtract lust from sex ...

... and see what's left.

That was the most hilarious and depressing thing I've ever read. These Mormons and their sex issues. Experimentation vs care ccinsiderstion not to offend the spirit? Translation=boring missionary sex for all eternity!

She wrote this before she'd ever had sex I'm assuming since she wasn't a Nelson then.

I've never skydived. Maybe I should write a handbook about sacred vs. worldly skydiving.

I'm guessing she's still a virgin since getting married, and that she has never had an orgasm in her life. It was obviously an arranged marriage. She just wanted to be able to punch her ticket to the CK. He just wanted to begin adding to his harem when he gets his own world. They'll work out the details of sex in the next life. I doubt that he has seen her naked, or in anything but church approved outer wear. Separate bedrooms, etc.

To me, all this stuff goes all the way back to the culty digusting belief that Mary and God had sex, therefore she gave birh to Jesus who was born with godly attributes. They don't openly say it, but in the church such is the belief. And that is really one of the many problems with the lds, that they let people so much stuff to their imagination. Too many rumors and never a plain open explanation to the so called "profound doctrines" understood only by the the very and special "few". "Oh, it is so sacred to talk about it".

Such belief creates in many women the distorded idea of the perfect sex act, one that no man on earth would never be able to match. In fact some girld told me once "I can't imagine how special would have been for Mary, to have God come down to her and get her pregnant... It must have been sooo special".

On the contrary, such act to me, would have been the must disgusting sex act, because we are talking here, father having sex with a virgin daughter, who knows how old he is, daughter is probably a teen. Let's leave alone poor Joseph having to keep up with that.

Yes that's how sick this religion can be.

Although I will say that Mrs. Exmofo will tell you that the 60 seconds (2 minutes on a good day) that I have to offer is some of the best she's ever had...so she says.

I don't appreciate how they say that one is "loving" whilst the other is "lustful." What gives them the right to judge this? It's like the time back in 2008 or 2009 that a GA at conference was talking about being in a store and seeing so many people who outwardly seemed happy, but he knew they were not because they didn't have "the Gospel." What the f*ck does he know about how happy people are? It was so arrogant.

+1..Wendy is extremely arrogant in her discourse, just like her hubby, just like the Q15, just like them all. Course, they are God's in the making. Have to laugh and gag at them at the same time.

My person favorite from the list, Under the "Worldly Sex" catagory: "A total obsession; men and women wish they could have sex forever."

Umm, am I wrong, but isn't that the very definition of the CK? And the Church as total obsession in order to get there (and you want to get there in order to have sex forever, of course). I'm so confused.

I have never invited Jesus into my marital bed. I really don't want an audience, it just ruins the ambience. Wanting to have sex forever? News for the young; Sex remains interesting into old age, but is no longer an all-encompassing urge. Our society is sex-crazed, and boomers like me are all worried and popping Viagra like crazy. I rather think they ought to let nature take it's course. Not being so GD horny all the time is actually a good thing.
