1. Can I speak as a male Christian Counselor/Soul Care provider to men regarding this idea. All respect to Ashley, just speaking to men.
There is a difference b/t your wife being "not inclined" but open to her "not being in the mood". When she is the latter, don't be selfish... https://twitter.com/AshleySheatz/status/1359533607564419072

2. "Being not inclined but open" means she isn't "down down" but is open to getting there provided she is romanced into it. Not "being in the mood" means she is not into it at all at the moment. If she isn't "in the mood", respect HER body. Do not insist on your your own way.
3. The teaching that says, “never deprive your husband sexually”, imo, is misogynistic. For one, a wife not being “in the mood” isn’t depriving her husband, it’s a woman being fully human w/ complex emotions & feelings and simply exercising her humanity & bodily autonomy.
4. So what is I Corinthians 7:5 about? Contextually, Paul is responding to a form of asceticism that has crept in to the church that teaches what is quoted in verse 1. His response is that if you’re married, don’t live like celibates. The “deprive” he is celibacy in marriage...
5. It’s so interesting how often this text is used to force women, even married women, into having sex w/ their husbands when they aren’t “in the mood”. Interesting how men always emphasize how their wives body’s belong to them but NEVER how their body belongs to their wives. 
6. Fellas, your wife has every right to “not be in the mood” & you’re obligated to respect that. Real talk tho. Some of y’all would get a lot more sex if you romanced your wives when she was merely “not inclined” but your laziness to woo her takes her out the mood & that’s on you
7. Okay, I’m sorry, but it’s bothering me. Point 5 should say “wife’s body” & not “wives body’s” (
). That was totally auto-correct and not me! The bad grammar is driving me crazy!
