Steve Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Reminds me of a joke by the comedian, the late Robin Harris "My ex-wife was nun. I couldn't get none. She wouldn't give me none." I actually see the logic of it but wouldn't work in the west because of our judeo-christian view of marriage. But seems to be a good fit for Thailand and Asia. I think she is a very thoughtful wife, to see after her husband. As long as I'm in the loop for who it is, I'd be for it if it happened to me.

Steve Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 No problem, me ol' China...I love that phrase. Basically, because a lot of people in the west (America specifically because I haven't lived in Europe or Oz) have this view of marriage that you have one spouse and you can't have another until the other is dead (and even then with some folks). Most folks would consider it 'adultery' if what Jasmine posted about was done in the west because of our value system based on the 10 commandments and the bible (Judeo/Christian...Jewish-Christian). In this context. We have too many bible thumping folks (and probably some feminists as well) who would against this sort of thing. They'd consider it adultery, even if it was the first wife's idea.

[/color] Thanks dear Fly for understanding how women feel. Many Thai women are brought up to ignore the extra sexual activities, but some, "no way, rather lose gold of the weight of one's head". However, I can relate to some feelings, I am getting there on hormones changes!!! Jasmine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 well, the vast majority of men also experience somewhat a lower frequency of sexual urges with increasing age. not all try to combat that natural development with muching viagra to relive their days of being a stud who gets a stiffi as soon as the wind blows, so that they can brag about their exploits on some internet boards.

[/color] True on what you said. Also, many partners do understand about the change and I feel I am a lucky one. But I would like to point out though, this woman wants to enter the nun-hood but wants her husband to be taken care of becuase she still feels the obligation.

[/color] No difference in Buddhism CS and I feel the same way even though the spouse gives the permission. Want to stress though the post is very to that the woman wants "a divorce" because entering nun-hood is cutting all ties to the husband. However, she wans a woman for him because she feels obligated and wants to finish things before she goes. Jasmine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Excuse my ignorance of Buddhism as I'm assuming that monks are celibate, maybe they are not, I don't know, but would the same apply if a man were to become a monk and he would find someone for his wife?
