Is It OK to dance for your husband?

[Mom4Christ]

I was wondering if it is okay to dance for your husband? You know, kind of a sexy, sensuous, erotic-like dance. Didn't women dance for the men back in the Bible? Although my hubby is the only one who I would let watch me dance like that, is it ungodly to do so?

Seeing as the Bible places ZERO restrictions on how a couple can relate to each other, I don't see why not. Have fun!

If you like to do it, have fun.

heck ya, have fun This is of course assuming neither partner has a problem with it............

My opinion is that type of dancing is a bad idea. You are his wife and that position holds more honor than that. Love-making between husband and wife should be about intimacy and honor and tenderness. That type of dancing more closely resembles lust and tends to dehumanize a woman in a way which does not give the proper respect and honor dues to a woman of God.

I disagree, dancing in such a way can be a show of love and a celebration of the beauty of the wife's body... which is part of love making.

If you're dressed up like a prostitute and making it raunchy and not loving then that is very different.... but there is no biblical reason why you cannot dance in a sensual and beautiful way for your husband.

Soemtimes my wife will put on the "duck song" and we'll BOTH do the waddle dance for our son. He just thinks it's the funniest thing!

I don't think I could dance like that and keep a straight face, I've had a friend offer to teach me some moves, but I wouldn't be able to do it without falling over laughing. Good for you though if you can do it and you both enjoy it, then go for it!

I see nothing wrong with it so long as you feel comfortable, and like a respectable confident woman dancing for your husband. But you have another thread on your husband's problem with porn, and so my concern is that you are wanting to dance erotically for him to try to keep him form porn, and if that is the reason, then I give a big frown. Not at you though... just at the situation that would make a woman of God feel she has to do something extra to get her husbands attention. Is this something he wants? Something he likes? How does it tie in with the porn issue?

Well, with the porn is girls on the internet, posing. He doesn't watch movies because he wouldn't have a place to hide them and if I'm in the other room, I'd be able to hear it. But, I don't know if movies are his thing anyhow. I'm not raunchy and it's fun. I am a little klutzy, but for some reason, he finds that endearing. It's just a slow, sensual dance. Other than that, I won't go into details. But the porn made me feel insecure about everything. I kept having sex with him (after a period of shock), so why wouldn't I keep dancing for him? I show him my body after he has seen all the women on the internet. That's my main insecurity now. But, no, I don't feel as if I'm competing.

Oh, okay, you were already doing that. Good for you then. I thought maybe it was a new thing.
