Phil Robertson: You Can’t Get STD’s From Biblically Correct Sex
The “Duck Dynasty Star” and sexpert doesn’t believe you can get a sexually transmitted disease if you use the Bible as a sex manual.
“Biblically correct sex is safe,” Robertson said during a sermon in West Monroe, Louisiana last month. “It’s safe. You’re not going to get chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, AIDS — if you, if a man marries a woman, and neither of you have it, and you keep your sex between the two of you, you’re not going to get ever sexually transmitted diseases.”
Robertson went on to blame “orthodox liberal opinion” for the spread of “debilitating diseases” around the U.S. and the world and accused his audience of being — like himself — “sexually immoral” at some point in their lives…
Researcher Elizabeth Boskey challenged the notion that monogamous sex can be devoid of sexually-transmitted diseases in a column for About.com this past February.
“Even if you had undergone regular screening, if you were infected while having sex with a partner who had not been tested in years, there is always the possibility that they were infected asymptomatically a long time before you got together – and just didn’t know it,” Boskey wrote. “Even when you are having sex with someone who is infected with an std, you won’t necessarily get infected the first time you sleep together. Particularly if you intermittently practice safe sex, it could take months or even years.”[su_center_ad]

Apparently Biblically correct sex can cause extreme ignorance though. Phil Robertson is a good example.

Sorry Phil, but I couldn’t handle 300 concubines, let alone 700 wives (1 Kings 11:1-3)
arc99 October 8th, 2014 at 11:07 am
Which part of the Bible Phil? The part where Abraham gets to sleep with his wife’s servant or the part where Jacob gets to sleep with the woman he wants and her sister as long as he keeps working for his father-in-law?
Please clarify.
R.J. Carter October 8th, 2014 at 11:26 am
Abraham didn’t get to sleep with his wife’s servant. He and Sarah chose to get impatient. Both Rachel and Leah were virgins, which kept that a closed circle (and is my example for arguing for polygamy when that debate finally comes up, post 50-state gay-marriage approval).
arc99 October 8th, 2014 at 12:44 pm
Well my wife may have a few objections. But if all of that is included in Biblical sex then praise god and sign me up.
R.J. Carter October 8th, 2014 at 2:33 pm
It was Sarah’s idea in the first place, so if you’re wife is okay with it… oh wait, God wasn’t pleased with Abraham’s actions on that one.
Carla Akins October 8th, 2014 at 3:43 pm
I realize that it’s not a popular choice, but I’m with you. If you want a life choice with multiple partners – go for it. I personally could not do it but I have no issue as long as everyone is an adult. Historically some cult(ish) groups have placed undue pressure on the young.
R.J. Carter October 8th, 2014 at 4:25 pm
Not a popular choice agreeing with me? 🙂
Carla Akins October 8th, 2014 at 5:04 pm
That too! (laughing)

R.J. Carter October 10th, 2014 at 9:07 am
That’s what the missus and I “converted” to as adults.
Dwendt44 October 8th, 2014 at 1:07 pm
Don’t forget the concubines.
R.J. Carter October 8th, 2014 at 2:32 pm
Who could? (Not Abraham’s, but Solomon’s and David’s.)
Dwendt44 October 9th, 2014 at 1:03 am
Among others. IIRC, Gideon (ya that one) had numerous wives and a few sex slaves too.
Skydog2 October 8th, 2014 at 11:13 am
“if a man marries a woman, and neither of you have it, and you keep your sex between the two of you, you’re not going to get ever sexually transmitted diseases”
This is true, right?
arc99 October 8th, 2014 at 11:14 am
Yes it is true. It is also true that there is nothing uniquely “Biblical” about that scenario. It is basic science and common sense.
Skydog2 October 8th, 2014 at 11:16 am
The guy is an idiot but it doesn’t mean everything he says wrong.
tiredoftea October 8th, 2014 at 12:54 pm
Well, he might know about making duck calls, but that’s as far as I’d go.
Larry Schmitt October 8th, 2014 at 11:16 am
But that’s not the only kind of sex condoned in the bible, as others here have pointed out. You can’t have it both ways (pun intended).
Anomaly 100 October 8th, 2014 at 11:27 am
That would also be true if two gay men or women married, so he kind of left that part out. Lies of omission are a thing.
Skydog2 October 8th, 2014 at 11:56 am
Yep.

Biblically correct sex contains the use of stones and rocks too doesn’t it?
LiPao October 8th, 2014 at 11:51 am
Did biblical sex include reverse cowgirl?
tiredoftea October 8th, 2014 at 12:52 pm
No, reverse shepherd.

Everyone knows the bible is infallible as text for history, science, and now sex education. The hits keep on coming.

Wasn’t it Lot who offered his nubile daughters to an entire crowd of strangers? Duck Ignorance!
R.J. Carter October 8th, 2014 at 12:09 pm
Because heterosexual gang rape is preferable to homosexual gang rape, doncha know? (Although Lot wasn’t being saved on his own recognizance, but on the intercession of Abraham, so Lot himself wasn’t exactly a role model to begin with.)
Obewon October 8th, 2014 at 12:13 pm
“Lot’s daughters plotted to make their father drunk so they could sleep with him and thereby assure that they would have children.”-Phil’s favorite bible passage proves what a complete idiot Robertson is! http://www.gotquestions.org/Lots-daughters.html#ixzz3FZR67cCR
bhil October 8th, 2014 at 2:23 pm
So long as they were “sleeping” with him and not that other thing.
Dwendt44 October 9th, 2014 at 1:01 am
Not to mention that Abel and Seth has sex with either their mother, EVE or their sisters, your choice. They don’t mention that little interesting dilemma.
bhil October 9th, 2014 at 9:43 am
Phil must have conveniently missed that part.

So if I clutch a Bible and shout verses while shtupping, I can’t get STDs?
tiredoftea October 8th, 2014 at 12:51 pm
Between your knees, between your knees. It works better than an aspirin.
tpartynitwit October 8th, 2014 at 1:03 pm
Sounds constricting.

But impossible.

Possible with fully functioning hips and knees.

I will repeat that hilarious question/comment to my friends
Larry Schmitt October 8th, 2014 at 12:40 pm
I thought he meant the missionary position.
tiredoftea October 8th, 2014 at 12:55 pm
So, nobody’s mentioned Mary Magdalene? There’s no mention of STD’s but she was a prostitute, right?
Dwendt44 October 8th, 2014 at 1:04 pm
No, she wasn’t. Odds are she was a widow though.
tiredoftea October 8th, 2014 at 1:08 pm
OK, I “misremembered” my bible stories. I’ll go back now and reread it.
Larry Schmitt October 8th, 2014 at 1:48 pm
From Wikipedia: “It is almost universally agreed today that characterizations of Mary Magdalene in western Christianity as a repentant prostitute or loose woman are unfounded.”
tiredoftea October 8th, 2014 at 2:46 pm
Thanks for that. I didn’t want to but a bible anyway.
Tammy Minton Haley October 8th, 2014 at 5:36 pm
oh, no–that’s what you were taught…
it’s yet another way the church kept women down for centuries…
tiredoftea October 8th, 2014 at 8:25 pm
That explains why the Nuns were so fond of beating the boys.
Tammy Minton Haley October 8th, 2014 at 10:54 pm
hehehe…that and misplaced sexual repression, yeah… 🙂
tiredoftea October 8th, 2014 at 11:03 pm
I thought that was only the priests and altar boys.
Tammy Minton Haley October 8th, 2014 at 11:45 pm
no, silly! the repressed, sexually frustrated nun takes out her anxiety on little boy butts…
tiredoftea October 9th, 2014 at 12:13 am
Ours used rulers on the backs of our hands. The priests specialized in little boy butts.

An admitted pedophile giving sermons and advice on sexual practices somehow doesn’t enlighten me.
Bunya October 8th, 2014 at 2:25 pm
Is it just me or does Phil Robertson have a fixation on gay sex? He’s sounding a lot like well know “crystal Methodist” Ted Haggart.
tracey marie October 8th, 2014 at 2:28 pm
Actually all this stupid is great. The akins, mourdocks, bachmanns did the same thing befor the 2012 elections and look what happened. keep talking about other peoples sex lives, making ignorant comments about STD’s and marriage…please push that book of myths with your ridiculous looking pedophile pushing inbreds as your voice and face in America…please proceed

this is why we can’t have nice things…

what the fk is up with these people that they are so concerned with other people sex lives? and what the fk is up with these people that are obviously so interested in listening to them do so? pervs. every last one of them.
Paul Duca October 10th, 2014 at 4:30 am
Presumably, the 15-year-old you marry doesn’t have them….
Mephistophiles October 10th, 2014 at 9:16 am
Biblically correct sex? That’s sex with your own daughters, isn’t it?
jkarov October 16th, 2014 at 7:15 am
I wonder if 15 year old girls (the ones he suggests everyone should marry) can give you an STD. Maybe they could get you locked up in jail instead
