Have you considered buying her self lubricating razor heads? I buy those on and off (they tend to be on sale for some reason). There is a kind of Venus these days that has two huge bars of moisturizer stuff, and it actually lathers up when you use it. At most I need a little extra soap suds. The heads themselves might be a little more expensive than the plain ones, but it's a huge savings in shave gel.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've never used them myself but they would solve the problem.  See, FJ people help each other with tips & hints. With no judgement, unlike certain fondues we could name....

Brian got back through to point out same thing I noticed.  The Lori one ups...

I Would like to see the footnote for that info. I know a Dr will be able to cite properly.

LOL, I daydream about sex!!

Count me in the daydream catagory and I also have full REM dreams about sex. Sex dreams at night often are mixes of different men, all who I've never had sex with IRL. Hell there isn't any romance in my sex dreams

I would also like to know how a student is able to support a family of four, especially at this stage. Diapers alone are expensive. Preparing for a new baby - even the second one - can be expensive just because of the prenatal care. I hope Lori's daughter IS receiving pre-natal care. 

I think this is the daughter that we all believe is being supported by Ken and Lori?? I have always wondered ( if this is true) how Lori believes that matches with her idea that a man is to work hard to be a provider. Receiving a monthly allowance from your in-laws is not "providing."  

I think Lori said something that she and Ken are helping Cassi and her husband Ryan out. I wondered if that had caused conflict because Ken said here on FJ or one of the blogs(can't remember which one) that he was against helping out adult children. Maybe, Ken had a change of heart and is ok helping Cassi and Ryan out because he figures Ryan will eventually have a dental career granted that nothing happens. 

I know a few people who supported a spouse and/or children while the spouse was attending grad school. A friend of mine supported her her husband and two sons while he attended pharmacy school. My friend isn't a fundie who believes that women should never work and she had no issues telling people that she was the breadwinner while her hubby was in school. Lori would be the type to not want to admit that her daughter works while the SIL is in school.

I'm pretty sure I would happily even have angry sex. Which would horrify Mr. bc he is very much a person who needs to have his mind and heart settled before he can even think about heading to the bedroom.

I'm trying to find something on this stuff Lori's been quoting without having to buy a book published in 1991.

This place has what I would call a more nuanced review of the book.  The book actually sounds pretty reasonable they way it is reviewed here.

https://billmuehlenberg.com/1991/03/10/a-review-of-home-by-choice-facing-the-effects-of-mothers-absence-by-brenda-hunter/

This is a quote from the review:

Quote

Women can have it all, says Hunter, “but not all at once”. Women who defer careers to give young children the nurture and support they need will live to rejoice over their decision – and with their children and grandchildren as well.

So it sounds like Hunter thinks woman should stay at home when their children are young, to give them a good safety net/psychology well-being/etc, but that doesn't mean a woman HAS to stay out of the workforce her entire life. 

That seems like a pretty reasonable position to hold, if children MUST HAVE a SAHM is your line of thinking.

edited to remove comment about the site looking interesting.  After some more reading, I found he was quoting Richard Spencer    I still think his review of the book is probably closer to what the book says than Lori's usual cherry picking

Her male commenters keep getting creepier.

[WhatWouldJohnCrichtonDo?]

Ugh. I just had the song "16 going on 17" from The Sound of Music running through my head. A sweet, silly, innocent song. These lines caught my attention:

Quote

Totally unprepared am I

To face a world of men

Timid and shy and scared am I 

Of things beyond my ken

 

I need someone

Older and wiser

Telling me what to do

You are 17 going on 18 

I'll depend on you

Then I thought of Lori's post on young marriage and Vaughn Ohlman (IS A PEDOPHILLIC PIMP!!!) and suddenly I wasn't enjoying having this song run through my head. Sickos.

[BlackSheep]

I went to Dr. Swenson' website. He lives in Wisconsin. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not.

@foreign fundieLOL, right. They can't fathom at all why things like 50 shades were popular. 

Well, to be honest, neither can I, but I doubt that their confusion is because it's badly-written.

(Sorry to anyone here who likes it, but I alternated between wanting to take a red pen to it and telling the main character to run far, far away. If it hadn't been a library book I'd have sent it flying more than once.)

Isn't the whole reason she hates that Jesus Calling book is because the female author claims to hear God's voice, that he speaks to her directly?

[crawfishgirl]

Didn't Cassi's husband quit dental school and transfer to pharmacy school before they got married?  Pharmacy school takes 4 years (according to Google), so if they've been married long enough to have one child and another on the way, he may have recently graduated, or at the least is about to graduate.  I thought that Lori mentioned that Cassi stopped working after the first child, and even before then only worked part time.  Hopefully he is out of school now since we know that Lori will raise hell if her daughter has to work to help support two kids (Ken, get out your checkbook!).

OMG, here we go again. A guest post written by trey on how women can help men not to lust!

Ken adds commentary to today's post:

Quote

Trey is speaking of an important Biblical truth that has been lost in many Christian marriages. Regular intimacy two to three times a week is God’s prescription to vaccinate a marriage against infidelity and porn. The gift of a sex drive that God has been given to create closeness between husband and wife is often trampled upon by long hours at work, stress, and the challenges of every day life. For this reason, the spouse who wants sex needs to say so, and the other spouse oblige in as timely a manner as possible, just as God has proscribed.

Wow, I am really vaccinated then as we do it at least once a day, sometimes twice.  Where does he come up with that number anyway? It doesn't say that in the bible but he says its God's prescription. 

[Loveday]

A sex post written by Trey. TREY!  A man whose comments tend to make my skin crawl. 

Jesus wept. If we needed any more evidence that Lori is trying to go viral again, well, here we have it.

 

[Red Hair, Black Dress]

Is "Thou shalt have regular intimacy 2 or 3 times a week " a Commandment that only appears in LoriKen's Bible?  Because I can't find it in mine.  But then -- ebil Catholic so... yeah.

I though LoriKen were all about 5 minutes and some lube Every. Day.  Does this mean that Ken is extra sooper speshul vaccinated?

How does this commandment work for spouses who are literally physically unable to have sex or who are incapacitated by a brain injury/ illness.

I have a friend whose wife has very early onset Alzheimers.  She is physically fine, but has no idea who he is. Should he just have sex with her because he needs to get vaccinated?  Or .... perhaps ... Oh I don't know  . . . maybe he should just continue to be the loving, caring, faithful spouse that he is -- who takes the "in sickness and in health" part of his vows seriously.

No, he quit pharmacy school to go to dental school. He started dental school in the fall of 2014. He will entering his fourth and final year this fall.

Am I the only one who sees the irony in touting 'vaccinations' against infidelity and porn, but railing against actual vaccinations for actual diseases such as polio and measles?

You can't find it in yours because you are Catholic and, thus, do not have or ever read a Bible. Obviously, you are looking at some random book about saint-worshipping or something like that.

Today's post is one of the many reasons why fundie me was so scared when I got married. 

[BlackSheep]

A post written by Trey about intimacy? Blarg. Just her blurb for it on FB is creepy. I'm skipping this one and denying Lori's blog a click today.

Is 2-3x a week the goal? I have not once in our many years of marriage said no but 2-3x a week has never been our norm. I do sometimes initiate. Should I begin initiating so that we are up to 2-3x a week?

See, thought that would open a can of worms. Now everyone is worried if they aren't doing it enough. 

How does ungodly me manage to have a lot more sex than these godly women who talk about it all the time?

Well, according to Lori, my ex should have been extra vaccinated because we had sex 1-2 times a day, with VERY few exceptions, up until the end of the our 10-year hell marriage. (Was it always enjoyable? No. Was it always consensual? Not exactly. But neither is a vaccine shot, right?) And like a good little fundie I believed the same theory. Yet he somehow found the time/ability to have multiple paramours (male & female)... So guess what I've found: a cheater's gonna find a way to cheat. There is no such thing as "affair proofing" your marriage from one side only. Marriage is a team effort.

[feministxtian]

I must have missed that "sex prescription" in my bible...I'd happily live the rest of my life w/o ever having sex again. I mean, if Mr. Xtian didn't initiate sex, I'd happily just skip it. But...there's more to marriage than sex.
