But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ...
for christians, it is BEST PRACTICE for sure to abstain from sex aside from a woman with her husband or a man with his wife, as that is truly the only sexual relationship the bible clearly ordains and supports.
