\u201cYour husband will want sex way more than you do,\u201d advises Elizabeth of the blog Warrior Wives in a post called \u201cWifey Sex Confessions.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0God just made him to think about sex more than you. \u2026 Never demean this about him.

Accept it as a difference. It may sound like so much cliched marital advice, but this is a much-discussed idea about sexuality in the evangelical Christian community: Men and women are different.\u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of concern among evangelical men and women about traditional roles being overturned,\u201d said Amy DeRogatis, an associate professor of religion at Michigan State University, in an interview. Her new book, Saving Sex,<\/a> focuses on the anxieties evangelicals feel about sexuality in American culture. But not other people\u2019s sexuality\u2014their own.\n

Amid the recent wave of gay-marriage legalizations and debates over reproductive rights that were sparked by this summer\u2019s Supreme Court decision in Hobby Lobby<\/a>, it can be easy to assume that evangelical teachings on sexuality are straightforwardly traditional. But \u201chow you have sex, when you have sex, the amount of sex you have, when you have children\u2014even the smallest act within an evangelical marriage can have these larger-than-life meanings,\u201d said DeRogatis. \u201cHow you have sex within marriage is incredibly important for you as a Christian, and also as a form of witnessing.\u201d<\/p>\n

What this means is that there\u2019s a surprising amount of sex talk within the evangelical community.<\/p>\n
