Collars & Calluses: Episode 31 - Q&A - Pleasure, Procreation, & The Talk

In this Collars and Calluses episode, Bill and Rich answer listener questions about sex in marriage, emphasizing that Scripture treats procreation and pleasure as a unified “package deal,” with marriage requiring openness to children and a high view of children as blessing and duty under the creation mandate. They warn against adopting the world’s anti-child mindset and argue contraception must be evaluated by motives and methods, rejecting abortion as “birth control” and opposing hormonal birth control due to possible abortifacient effects and health risks, while allowing natural family planning and condoms as potentially lawful. They also discuss cultural propaganda against motherhood and the importance of disciplined parenting. A second question addresses how to talk to children about sex, urging ongoing age-appropriate conversations, trust, parent-led instruction, and guarding against pornography and cultural sexual confusion.
