"Intended
for Pleasure: Sex Technique and Sexual Fulfillment in Christian
Marriage"
by
Ed Wheat
Intended For Pleasure Saved our love life! Six months after we were married, I was wondering if all men wanted sex ALL the time. It seemed like it was exhausting work with no equal payoff for the wife. Then we got this book for a belated wedding present. The problems we were suffering emotionally and technically were addressed in this book, maybe clinically, but factually. This book turned us around 180 degrees. We have had an excellent relationship ever since, and yes, women were intended to have orgasm(s) during intercourse, although some physiologically may need something different. That, I assure you, is not our problem now, and it is directly due to this book. Thank you to the Wheats!~A Reader

Book Description
Book Description For over 20 years, this
best-seller has helped couples build fulfilling marriages with medically
accurate information and biblical wisdom on sex and relationships.
Midwest Book Review
Intended For Pleasure is an easy-to-read reference book that has been revised
and expanded in its third edition. Ed and Gaye Wheat, along with their medical
associate Dow Pursley, combine biblical teaching on love and marriage with
the latest medical information on sex and sexuality. Drawing on years of
experience in counseling couples, the authors have updated each chapter,
adding information on contraceptives and a new chapter on sexually transmitted
diseases, clarifying information on AIDS, herpes, HPV infection, and gonorrhea.
Intended For Pleasure gently encourages the married couple to make their
sexual relationship the fulfilling experience it was meant to be. This is
a complete sex manual for practicing Christians with basic facts, illustrations
and candid discussion of all facets of human sexuality. Intended For Pleasure
is highly recommended reading for newlyweds and an excellent resource for
pastors and marriage counselors.
READER'S COMMENTS ON Intended For Pleasure
It helped our sex life immensely. The beginning of the book is fairly dry as it discusses anatomy, but once you get passed that there are exciting tips. My husband learned that I may not have an orgasm every time and it's OK. He also learned that intercourse is not the most pleasurable part for me. I learned ways to help my husband last longer and, in general, how to be more sexually pleasing to him. Great information for brides on pg. 161. If you're engaged, wait until the week before your wedding or you may be too tempted to wait.~A Reader
Provides an excellent introduction to the origins of sexual relationships for Christians. However, my wife thinks it is written primarly for men. Methods and techniques are fair but leaves out some issues in modern times.~C.S.
Sex is a very important part of marriage and it is very important for both people to be comfortable and to enjoy it. This book provides all the info a newly married couple needs. I really liked the section on sex tips for trying to concieve. This was very helpful and aided us in getting pregnant.~L.M.
A very good
book that any newly married or even been married Christian couple should
have. It has some very good information on what to expect as well as possible
problems a couple may encounter.~Stephen

This book was for my daughter, 26, and her fiancee, 28, who are going to
be married this Sept. It was recommended by the pastor who taught their 9-week
premarital class at their church, Mars Hill, in Seattle. I have heard this
was a good book before this time anyway. It is concise, well-written, easy
to read, and I highly recommend it to young (and old) couples. My daughter
is pretty innocent and this book makes it clear but not unappealing. Has
parts on birth control as well. If you want a book that both presents sex
well and from the Christian perspective (within marriage), this is the book
for you. I also liked it that it did not have pictures, which I think make
a book a little less appealing and prurient.~Jean

My fiancé and I are reading this book together before we get married.
It has been very helpful to both of us, we wanted a Christian based book
on God's design for sex in marriage. We also wanted input on what to expect
the wedding night to be like since we're virgins, it has a wonderful chapter
that talks directly to engaged/newly weds about that first night. We would
highly recommend this book to other couples who want a biblical view of sex
in marriage.~Susan L.

This book is very cool, easy to read, and is a life saver. Especially if
you have never made love, and you are getting married, it respectfully gives
you an overview and important tips to make your first ime with your spouse
memorable. It respects the sanctity of marriage, and values love and respect
within your marriage. And it also talks about sex not only for young people,
but for older adults as well. God will bless you through this book! Buy it
here cuz they have it cheaper than where I got it! ;)~Dee

Excellent book!!!! I bought this book and "Intimate Issues" at the reccomendation
of a female friend who said that she wished someone had told her about them
before she got married.
When I recieved the books I immediately dove into this one, it's an easy
read, seperated into chapters so that you can read what intrests you. Technique,
STD's, dysfunction, God's purpose for sex, etc. etc. it's not like the
stereotypical Christian sex book... Ed Wheat gives the reader a good idea
of how exciting and fulfilling sex can be in marriage. There's also a chapter
on the honeymoon night and having sex for the fisrt time.
This book is esspecially helpful for men who might feel they can't sexually
satisfy their wife, there is an extensive section on a "cure" method for
pre-ejaculation and also a section on teaching him the intricacies of a woman's
body and how to last longer so that he can please her. Ed feels very strongly
that it is a man's job to please his wife... I was happy when my finace borrowed
this book from me and claimed he had read the whole thing!~A

Christians Have Sex Too - And I Love Sex!!!
Wow!!!! A Great book on giving your wife the climax of a life time (in a
pure way, of course). After reading this book, we let it loose, never feel
guilty about it, and we have grown a lot. And boy, is she a sexual dynamite
: o Read this book and have fun, in or out of bed, like the hall way, the
car, the computer desk, uh I, mnb m got to go. Thinking about this book makes
me want my wife.~Robert T.
After listening to Ed Wheat's tapes for
newlyweds and then reading this book with my new wife we have found many
useful things to apply to our marriage and sex life. We have however found
several severe errors in his teachings.
Dr. Wheat takes a very mechanical approach to sexual pleasure in marriage
especially for the woman. Even as another man I can see it is too obvious
that his very logical and systematic approach to sex is flawed. It is not
as simple as if you do step 1, 2, and 3 then orgasm will occur. The female
body AND mind are much more complex than this! He also goes into such detail
in areas which do not apply (PAP smear?) to the general reader, and fails
to mention that there are some very common physical problems many women
experience which prevents sexual intercourse on the wedding night - often
requiring minor surgery.
We found Dr. Wheat's book VERY useful, however it did fall short of giving
couples a complete and realistic picture of sex in the Christian marriage.
It is definitely worth the money and a book to review many times over the
years; however, it should be read with a very open mind and not taken as
being the only way for things to be.~A Reader
RE:

Our Pastor had us purchase this book about midway through our marriage
counseling, in preparation for the wedding night.
It supplied much good information that saved us some problems and allowed
us to be better prepared for details as they came up.
Dr. Wheat can be a bit dry at times but he is complete in his presentation.
There is much help in this book for all kinds of things. And better yet from
someone with a Christian perspective.~Paris T.
In a world
where the majority of couples are divorced after only 5 years of marriage,
maybe it's time to go against the grain of the male-female territory war
and try sex the way it was intended. This book gives you every reason to
explore your sexuality with the one person you care about most. Those of
you who can't open your minds to new ways of thought about understanding
your mate; beware, this book encourages you to explore what MAKING love is
all about.~Rachel R.

Brilliant. This book was a wedding gift and very obviously one of our better
gifts - a must for any Christian marriage or anyone who doesn't really know
everything they needed to know.~A Reader

Intended for Pleasure explains it all without offense or timidity. My husband
and I benefitted greatly (and still do).More interestingly, we gained so
much understanding and pleasure in our sex life after reading that we started
to loan our 2 copies out. The interesting thing is that we never get them
back! I am online today to refurbish our stock. Very worthwhile. ~Carla

Well Written, and Very Informative! This is the best book I have ever read in regards to marital love and sex. Ed and Gay Wheat have taken and educated, "no-hype", direct approach to married sexual fulfilment. This is not a book for those seeking anything other then satisfied, commited sexual fulfillment. I encourage every couple to purchase this book before marriage and this would certainly be a great shower gift before the wedding. Parent's this is a wonderful book to help explain all the things you were uncomfortable telling your children all along.~A Reader

RE:

This was one of the best books I've ever read. After 15 years of marriage
and many attempts to improve my marriage in many ways, I found this book
to be one of the most helpful. I wished I had read it a long time ago. My
husband and I have gone leaps and bounds in our relationship since. I would
also recommend "Solomon on Sex".~A Reader
RE:

I purchased this book before my honeymoon in hopes of it helping my wife
and I get the maximun enjoyment out of sex in ourmarrige. The first few chapters
are rather dry and cold speaking mostly of anatomy and the like. After that
there are some excellent tips to making sex very enjoyable and not discouraging,
especially if its your first time. These chapters helped me tremendously
in finding out what God intended for sex and pleasing my wife. All the tips
he gives in these chapters are very long and tedious. If you think you have
these problems prepare yourself for some fun but hard work. Lots of practice
sessions with total vulnerability with your partner. And probably with some
disappointments. It can be tedious reading but stick with it, it is helpful.
Some of the commentary is very clinical and dry, but helpful when you apply
it. I really saw the heart of the writers, which is to help and instruct
people to have the most fulfilling sex life as possible.~M.H.
