Transitioning from Sexually Active (married) to Sexually Inactive (not married)


The transition from being sexually active to sexually inactive ... can be difficult.

Although you likely won’t be able to replace sexual intimacy, you may be able to identify ways that you can start to fill the holes that were once filled by sex.

--https://covenantintimacyconversations.byu.edu/single-after-marriage




What I'm wondering is if the author of the above is giggling about getting his/her 'joke' into 'print'. Maybe those who could have ordered the last sentence modified were afraid that knowing how it could be interpreted would be a mark against them?

"...start filling the gaps that were once filled by sex." ?

or "starting filling the gasps..." ?

I just read this to the office. They are howling a long with me. One said, "What idiots. There is a whole industry to fill those holes."

I know there is a vast divide between the advanced amateur and the true professional, but I always appreciated the drive some of the amateurs displayed.


Also, as their boss, you could read them the Google Terms of Service, and every time you arched an eyebrow they'd roar with laughter.

Hold Your Horses!


Mormons openly discussing sex & sexuality?

that's GROUND-BREAKING, especially not GA approved!!!


****** if they're not VERY CAREFUL... they'll be mentioning if not discussing sexual positions, technique, and (OMG!!) Orgasms!!!*****


What Had Gawd Wroth???

They are so uptight and naïve about sex that they say things that are unintentionally funny.

I hope they sell BYU vibrators at the bookstore soon. Those will fill the gap. Add a little cougar head and you've got a best seller.

LOL. Yup!
Then the brethren will need to scold the women about it in some vague conference talk.

"Not many people talk about sexuality in terms of
how to tend to your sexuality post-divorce or death
of a spouse. There hasn’t been much research on this
subject either. For this reason, I hope that by reading
this article, you can seek within yourself and discover
what your soul is yearning for."

There's a 2 page pdf for your amusement.

I think the church will need some new callings to do further research. lol

"What did sex make you feel phyically? Did sex make
you feel enlivened, strong or beautiful? You may
want to explore activities such as dance, yoga, or
meditation that help you feel these same feelings."

Above all else, don't watch any Cyndi Lauper She Bop music videos.

BYU is no longer filling sex holes... That they know of!

The link I posted no longer works; BYU apparently no longer cares about people's righteous jollies.

It's too bad they didn't reduce the advice about prohibited positions / modes in writing, we could wave that from the rooftops!!!

I don't really know with certainty who you love the most but I don't think you'd kick any of the Big Boys out of bed for glowing coal in the tinder box . . .


... the Union Pacific Big Boys. Built during the 1940s, the fleet of 25 locomotives certainly lacked the genteel, sleek beauty of the British steam engines.

The Big Boys were gnarled metal monsters whose brute power made them ideal for transporting freight across the craggy American landscape.

The very apt name came about spontaneously - the fleet was originally to be called "Wasatch", after the Wasatch mountain range, but an unknown worker used some chalk to scrawl the words "Big Boy" on an engine while it was under construction, and the moniker stuck.
