A Polish Catholic priest has published a book which provides married couples with a theological and practical guide to spicing up their sex lives.

In his book, Sex as you don't know it: for married couples who love God, Father Ksawery Knotz aims to sweep away the strait-laced attitudes many hold.

Sex in marriage, the Franciscan friar explains, should not be boring but "saucy, surprising and fantasy packed".

The book, which has the backing of the Polish Catholic Church, has been a hit.

The Sw. Pawel publishing house has ordered a reprint after Poles snapped up the first 5,000 copies within weeks of them going on sale.

'Sought-after caresses'

In the book that has been dubbed the "Catholic Kama Sutra", Father Knotz goes into graphic detail about a subject many in the Church consider taboo.


Some people [think married sex] has to be sad like a traditional church hymn
Father Ksawery Knotz

"Some people, when they hear about the holiness of married sex, immediately imagine that such sex has to be deprived of joy, frivolous play, fantasy and attractive positions," he writes.

"[They think] it has to be sad like a traditional church hymn.

"Every act - a type of caress, a sexual position - with the goal of arousal is permitted and pleases God. During sexual intercourse, married couples can show their love in every way, can offer one another the most sought-after caresses."

Father Knotz believes sex is an important way for a husband and wife to express their love and grow closer to God.

"Married couples celebrate their sacrament, their life with Christ also during sex," he writes.

"Calling sex a celebration of the marriage sacrament raises its dignity in an exceptional way. Such a statement shocks people who learned to look at sexuality in a bad way. It is difficult for them to understand that God is also interested in their happy sex life and in this way gives them his gift."

But Father Knotz stresses the book does not differ from the Church's view on sex. He discourages the use of contraceptives, saying they "lead a married couple outside of Catholic culture and into a completely different lifestyle".

He also dismisses those that have questioned the competency of a celibate monk to write about sex, saying his experience comes from counselling married couples and from running a website giving sexual advice for almost a year.

This is ridiculous. A priest giving sex guidance?


But it isn't, when most sex related information catholic people have gotten from their priests has been: SEX? More like MORTAL SIN!

If this just came from the Vatican, and not from some bloke in Poland, we would be one step closer to losing some of the stupid baggage most cristianism comes with.

The Church will still treat Extra-marital sex as a mortal sin. It is just too many people carry their sexual hang-ups into marriage, and wreck the relationship.

(By the way, this is lost when it leaves my brain, but the concept of "Mortal Sin" is ridiculous to me...)

Let me guess, man on top, oral sex is a no-no and anal brings you and your wife to the fiery pits of hell?

I still say that, even if it's the most ridiculously inhibited book... I sometimes think I should try to be a priest just to do this kind of stuff* from inside the church. I still find that not equating the idea that pleasure through sex with sin is something good.

*Or, you know, BETTER stuff.

Seeing that he´s a priest, which means he doesnt even have sex, might I suggest the other guides- "The blind´s guide to looking?" or "Mav´s tips on how to get a girl into bed"?

Why do you keep thinking priests don't have any sex. They have a vow of Celibacy not Chastity.

Etymology

From Latin caelibatus (“‘celibacy, a single life’”), perfect passive participle of caelibare, from caelebs (“‘unmarried’”)

[edit] Noun

Singular
celibacy


Plural
uncountable

celibacy (uncountable)

1. Abstaining from marriage; the state of being unmarried.
2. Abstaining from sexual relations.

The second definition is there because of popular confusion about the term.

That is why I wonder how does priest come up with Sex advice. It is like blind leading the blind.

Well, but I'm very much of Silver's opinion too.

It's great that priests and other people in the church that are going to be listened to say sex isn't bad, being gay isn't bad, whatever.

Still, the pope is a jackass more usually than not and the catholic dogma says he's infallible...

You realize that being a priest does not mean that person is a virgin. I mean, they weren't born priests, they became one later in life.

I actually think this guy did a pretty good thing. Is his advice going to be perfect? No, but it's also not necessarily going to be useless - it's not like you can't research this sort of thing. And it's important that this DOES come from a priest. The whole point is to give an official, church-sanctioned "Okay, look, we realize you may have gotten the message that anything fun ever is basically a sin, but seriously, it's okay for you guys to do fun kinky stuff once you're married."

I don't particularly like the Catholic Church, but there are plenty of people who do find it an important element of their lives, and it's good that some priests are trying their best to help married couples have better sex lives.

Dude's a Franciscan friar who claims he got his material from conversations with married couples.
