It seems that sexual relations should be completely dispensed with during pregnancy.

quote:

"The sexual passion is indulged during pregnancy, which causes the mother to transmit doubly of the direful ail to the offspring within her womb ... every orgasm expends of the mother's vitality a portion that should go to nourish and develop her babe. Very much of the weakness and lassitude experienced during pregnancy is due to the exhaustion consequent upon the sexual embrace, and the forming child must suffer from its effects: for the mother cannot impart what she does not herself possess, health and strength." (Solemn Appeal p. 23)

What?

Sounds like it would go good with salty peanuts and pickled eggs at a tavern!

This is hardly earth shattering news, as she tended to discourage sexual relations during marriage as well.

It seems she has to comment on absolutely everything, and of course her adherents lived by her proclamations (sorry for using that word Colleen). No wonder SDAs as a group tend to be a rather somber group, especially those that accepted "the continuing and authoritative source of truth" fundie.

Ellen White's sexual theories reflect her commitment to the nineteenth-century views of "vitalism." Today, vitalism's only useful legacy is its humor-producing effect. A laugh a day keeps the psychiatrist away.
