The canard that conservative Christians believe sex is only for procreation is explicitly refuted by several writers. Citing scripture, they identify numerous reasons God created sex. Procreation is one, but the Bible also encourages sex as a way to strengthen marital bonds, as a defense against indiscriminate lust, and as a means for dispensing comfort. And judging by the allocation of space, the main reason God invented sex is pleasure. Sexual pleasure gets an entire book of the Bible: the Song of Solomon.

Hey baby. What’s your name? Can I buy you a drink? Great.
Are you religious? Me too.
Yes, I do carry around a bible with me.
Why are all the pages torn out except for the Song of Solomon? Baby, I got into an accident on the way over here. Why don’t you read some of it to me and then we’ll talk about spirituality?
