Lusting after another while being with your mate, that's like Righteousness 101
True. And I believe that anyone who has engaged in that behaviour, pretty well, knows that they are wrong. Hopefully, we know and understand that we have an advocate with the Father and He is ever merciful.

That advocate wouldn't justify continual sin.

The most deadly sins do not leap upon us, they creep up on us.
I agree. But, I also believe that not all sins are easy to walk away from - especially sexual sin or a strong attraction. You have to keep coming back to the Father - no matter how long it takes and no matter how many times you have already said you were sorry - keep coming back and confessing your sin, asking Him to help you overcome it.
That's retarded to think that "role playing" is the only way to illicit day dreams from my husband. 'Cause I know that isn't true.
No one said it's the "only way." Who has made that argument?
If I lust after him simply because of sexual pleasure? Nothing wrong with that. To lust after him to fulfill lustful fantasies and other memories? Not a good thing. That is the door I was speaking of.
Not sure I understand what you're saying here.
I agree with Romans 14. I don't agree with your last statement - "most of the time" - as that is a "broadbrush" statement and cannot apply in every case. Sure it's a broadbrush. Is it untrue in your neck of the woods? Your church speaks of sex often, in vibrant positives? Or is sex usually in the context of correct?
Seriously, I don't see how being coquettish is "role playing".
I think I posted about a church, not UPC, that had a married couples meeting and displayed various "lingerie" articles that were not allowed in the bedroom. That's pushing the "No" factor, in my opinion.
I agree with Bratti when she said, "Best to cover it from a biblical, principled point of view, and leave the specifics to the couple."
Why are you so against role playing? Not getting it. All you've argued is that "it's not the only way to spice things up." No one has suggested otherwise or disagreed with that. So what's your beef with believers participating in this in the marriage bed?
what about those who have to think about something else in order to, mmmmmmmm, last longer? Aka, baseball?
Of course the way my brewers are playing (either great or horrid), if i think about them, it just makes me want to roll over and start whimpering. The moment is gone!
