One of the first commands recorded in Holy Scripture of the-God-who-obviously-had-sex-on-His-mind speaking to the very-few rescued-from-global-flood human beings was:

Genesis 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
Genesis 9:7 And you, be fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly on the earth and multiply in it." The LORD reiterated the erotic-by-default order to His pet Jew:

Genesis 35:10 And God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name." So his name was called Israel.
Genesis 35:11 And God said to him, "I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall spring from you.

So, have the Hebrews fulfilled their reproductive requirements adequately since then? How about us descendants who are all related to that commanded-to-have-sex Noah who saved us all from watery suffocation? Have we succeeding in "be fruitful and multiplying?" Could we have done much more?

There are yet vast non-inhabited areas on planet Earth far more hospitable to supporting human life than on any other celestial body in the heavens above.

Clearly, Almighty God is not happy whatsoever with [heretic] zero-population growth deviates!

Which gets us to related details of what is involved in completing our mandatory reproductive task as a species.

It is noteworthy to mention that some of us human beings are not ready to have nor gung-ho interested in having reproductive sex with at even chosen opposite-gender person:

Isaiah 56:3 Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say, "The LORD will surely separate me from his people"; and let not the eunuch say, "Hey, I am a dry tree."
Jeremiah 16:2 "You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place."
Hosea 9:14 Give them, Oh LORD: what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

First Corinthians 7:1 Now concerning the matters about which you wrote. It is well for a man not to touch a woman.
2 But because of the temptation to fornication, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
26 I think that in view of the present distress it is well for a person to remain as he is.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek marriage.
28 But if you marry, you do not sin, and if a girl marries she does not sin. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that.
34 There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The non-married woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit; but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35 And this I speak for your own profit, not that I may throw a snare on you, but for that which is desirable, and so that ya'll may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
36 If any one thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his virgin, if she is past the bloom of youth, and it has to be, let him do as he wills: let them marry: it is no sin.
37 But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his virgin, he will do well.
38 So then he who gives in marriage does well. But he who does not give in marriage does better.

It is quite apparent that avoiding getting married for most men is not a viable option - especially in view of the almost-incredibly-huge market for all types of R-to-XXX porn on cable TV, on the internet, and wherever, plus the continued presence and availability of high-priced incall and outcall exchange-massage masseuses and escorts who demand more than a loaf of bread to do harlotrous lustful shenanigans:

Proverbs 6:26 for a harlot may be hired for a loaf of bread, but an adulteress stalks a man's very life.

Let no one lament: "Oh, the good old days . . ." concerning (not regarding) such:

Ecclesiastes 7:10 Say not, "Why were the former days better than these?" For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.

The Holy Spirit, and his Saint Paul (who - on one hand - sort of discouraged getting married), rather strongly advocated getting married according to the following admonitions:

First Timothy 2:15 Yet woman will be saved by bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with sobriety.

Rather difficult to bear a child unless one is pregnant with one, and pregnancy generally requires a man hopefully married to her in the overall process.

But, to prohibit suggested test-tube procreation involving indirect-human-male-utilized artificial insemination manipulations as a substitute for normal husband-wife-wife conjugation connection resulting in conception, Paul (and the Spirit) elaborated:

First Timothy 5:14 So I would have younger women (NOT "widows!" - and see the exact Greek-Text words used here, which overrides any presumed context!) marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the enemy no cause to revile us.
First Timothy 5:15 For some have already strayed after Satan.

Although I have never found even a hint of any named-person homosexual connection within the entirety of the Holy Bible, both legitimate and illegitimate heterosexual procreative incentives are not foreign to even the Old Testament, regarding matchmaking accounts involved:

We first reference a pre-Torah drunken double-header instance of sexual cravings, from the Sexually-Oriented Adult-for-Everyone-Of-All-Ages Holy Bible:

Genesis 19:30 Now Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to reside in Zoar; so helived in a cave with his two daughters.
31 And the first-born [cave-teen/older] said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father."
33 So they made their father drink wine that night; and the first-born went in, and lay with her father; he did not know when she lay down or when she got up.
34 And on the next day, the first-born said to the younger, "Hey, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father."
35 So they made their father drink wine that night also; and the younger got up, and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she got up.
36 Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
37 The first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.
38 The younger also bore a son, and called his name Benammi; he is the father of the Ammonites to this day.

Kinky.

I used to love that particular Bible story read to me as a toddler - among others as indicated below. Might have tried it with neighbor-girl playmates - but no babes came out. Could have been the clothes - who knows? No one ever sued anyone because of it. Still hope they don't.

After the story was read, I had procedural questions, but they were resolved by readings further on in Holy Writ.

Genesis 24:7 The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me and swore to me, 'To your descendants I will give this land,' he will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

Selective mate-selection even involved pre-Torah incestuous hanky-panky revealing sexual desires needing to be satisfied:

Genesis 38:14 [Tamar] put off her widow's garments, and put on a [prostitute's] veil, wrapping herself up, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him in marriage. [ Oh oh. ]
15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot, for she had covered her face. [ burka/hijab or Zorro-style? ]
16 He went over to her at the road side, and said, "Come, let me go into you," for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?" [ Jewish women do like to bargain ]
17 He answered, "I will send you a kid from the flock." And she said, "Will you give me a pledge, till you send it?" [ Cheap insurance required, proving that she was no naive gullible dummy ]
18 He said, "What pledge shall I give you?" She replied, "Your signet and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her, and went in to her [ Whoopie! ] , and she conceived by him.
19 Then she got up and went away, and taking off her veil she put on the garments of her widowhood.

Leviticus 21:13 And [the high priest] shall take a wife in her virginity.

Judges 14:3 But his father and mother said to him, "Is there not a woman among the daughters of your kinsmen, or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me; for she pleases me well."

Ruth 3:1 Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, should I not seek a home for you, that it may be well with you?
2 Now is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.
Ruth 2:22 And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, "It is well, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens [ the maidens of Boaz ], lest in another field you be molested." [ or raped? ]
Ruth 3:3 Wash therefore [ do not stink ] and anoint yourself [ but don't harass him with smelly perfume ], and put on your best clothes [ rags are not impressive ] and go down to the threshing floor [ proximity location and timing is vital ]; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking. [ food comes first ]
4 But when he lies down, observe the place where he lies [ forget about him observing where you lie ]; then, go and uncover his feet and lie down [ get near him and take aggressive action ]; and he will tell you what to do."
5 And she replied, "All that you say I will do." [Better than remarking: "What a stupid idea!" ]
6 So she went down to the threshing floor and did just as her mother-in-law had told her. [ Experience speaks ]
7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then she came softly [ and humbly - rather than pompously stomping with her feet ], and uncovered his feet, and lay down.
8 At midnight the man was startled, and turned over, and hey, a woman lay at his feet!
9 He said, "Who are you?" And she answered, "I am Ruth, your maidservant; spread your [ night ] robe [or blanket ] over your maidservant, for you are next of kin." [ I thought that Boaz was supposed to have told her what to do ]
10 And he said, "May you be blessed by the LORD, my daughter; you have made this last kindness greater than the first, in that you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich [ a young chick for the old geezer ].

First Samuel 18:27 David got up and went, along with his men, and killed two hundred of the Philistines; and David brought their [ penie] foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal [pronounced: McCall ] for a wife.

First Chronicles 7:15 And Machir took a wife for Huppim and for Shuppim. The name of his sister was Maacah. And the name of the second was Zelophehad; and Zelophehad had daughters.

Hosea 1:2 When the LORD first spoke through Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea, "Go, take to yourself a wife of harlotry and have children of harlotry, for the land [ wayward Israel and Judah?] commits great harlotry by rejecting the LORD."

Hosea 3:1 And the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is beloved of a paramour and is an adulteress [ wayward Gentiles? ]; even as the LORD loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins."
2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley. [ What a buy! A slave-trade special ]
3 And I said to her, "You must reside as mine for many days; you shall not play the harlot, or belong to another man; so will I also be to you." [ with or without Gomer, his other wife? ]

First Corinthians 9:5 Do we not have the right to be accompanied by a wife, as the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas? [ Most of the twelve apostles obviously were married ]

Only one-person-to-one-person matching allowed, pure-minded dating protocol is crucial, lust-in orgies are out of the question, and non-marital stripping is not even to be suggested:

Numbers 5:18 [RSV/NASV - not KJV nor NIV] And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and unbind [ i.e. loosen ] the hair of the then-mopheaded woman's head, and place in her hands the cereal offering of remembrance, which is the cereal offering of jealousy. And in his hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse.

Second Samuel 13:1 Now Absalom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and after a time Amnon, David's son, loved her.
2 And Amnon was so tormented that he made himself ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and it seemed impossible to Amnon to do anything to her.
3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother; and Jonadab was a very sneaky man.
4 And he said to him, "Oh son of the king, why are you so haggard morning after morning? Will you not tell me?" Amnon said to him, "I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister."
5 Jonadab said to him, "Lie down on your bed, and pretend to be ill; and when your father comes to see you, say to him, 'Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.'"
6 So Amnon lay down, and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house, where he was lying down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
9 And she took the pan and emptied it out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, "Send out every one from me." So every one went out from him. [ Oh oh ]
10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from your hand." And Tamar took the cakes she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
11 But when she brought them near him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, "Come, lie with me, my sister."
12 She answered him, "No, my brother, do not force me; for such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this wanton foolishness.
13 As for me, where could I carry my shame? And as for you, you would be as one of the wanton fools in Israel. Now therefore, I beg you, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you."
14 But he would not listen to her; and being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.
15 Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Get up, be gone."
16 But she said to him, "No, my brother; for this wrong in sending me away is greater than the other which you did to me." [ You got me, now you got to keep me, per Deuteronomy 22:28-29 ] But he would not listen to her.

Deuteronomy 22:28 If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found,
Deuteronomy 22:29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her; he may not put her away all his days.

Second Samuel 13:17 He called the young man who served him and said, "Put this woman out of my presence, and bolt the door after her."
18 Now she was wearing a full-length robe [ reaching down to her ankles ] with long sleeves [reaching down to her wrists] [ and NOT a "multi-colored" robe! ]; for thus were the virgin daughters of the king traditionally dressed. So his servant put her out, and bolted the door after her.
19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent the full-length robe [ reaching down to her ankles ] with long sleeves [reaching down to her wrists] [ and NOT a "multi-colored" robe! ] which she wore; and she laid her hand on her head, and went away, crying aloud as she went.
20 And her brother Absalom said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? Now hold your peace, my sister; he is your brother; do not take this to heart."

Matthew 22:24 . . . Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother must marry the widow, and raise up children for his brother."
Mark 12:19 "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.
Luke 20:28 . . .and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother."

And Absalom eventually had Amnon executed because of the rape.

As stated previously, only one-person-to-one-person matching allowed, pure-minded dating protocol is crucial, lust-in orgies are out of the question, and non-marital stripping is not even to be suggested:

Ephesians 5:3 But fornication and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is fitting among saints.

Deuteronomy 25:11 When men fight with one another, and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts,
Deuteronomy 25:12 then you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall have no pity.

[ Hmmmm. THAT should give married spouses one useful technique to turn each other on!

Here's another, and several more in addition: ]

Genesis 2:25 And the man and his wife [not harlot, adulterating mistress, masseuse/escort whore or slut ] were both naked, and were not ashamed.

Proverbs 5:15 Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well.
16 Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets?
17 Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you.
18 Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth,
19 a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight, be infatuated always with her love.
20 Why should you be infatuated, my son, with a loose woman and embrace the bosom of an adventuress?

Song of Solomon 5:3 I had taken off my clothes, how could I put them on? I had bathed my feet, how could I dirty them?
Song of Solomon 5:4 My beloved put his hand to the latch, and my heart was thrilled within me.
Song of Solomon 5:5 I got up to open to my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, upon the handles of the bolt.

First Corinthians 12:23 . . . and those parts of the body which we think less honorable we invest with the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty,
24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior part,
25 that there may be no discord in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.
26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
27 Now you are the body of Christ [ whether the penis, scrotum, prostate, vulva, vagina, ovary, anus, rectum, or whatever ] and individually members of it.

Second Corinthians 5:4 For while we are still in this tent, we sigh with anxiety; not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

Song of Solomon 7:1 How graceful are your footsteps in sandals, royal maiden! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand.
2 Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies.
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, overlooking Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Carmel, and your flowing locks [ LOOSE long hair - longer than mouth-level ] are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses.
6 How fair and pleasant you are, loved one, delectable maiden!
7 You are stately as a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters.
8 I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its branches. Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples,
9 and your kisses like the best wine that goes down smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth [ of sleepers ].
10 I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me.
11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields, and lodge in the villages;
12 let us go out early to the vineyards, and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and over our doors are all choice fruits [ various previously-private body parts ], new as well as old, which I have laid up for you, my beloved [ NOT "my" whore or slut" ].

Isaiah 3:16 The LORD said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with outstretched necks, glancing wantonly with their eyes, swinging their hips as they go along, attracting attention by flip-flopping noisy sandals on their bare feet as they walk along;
Isaiah 3:17 the Lord will smite with a scab the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will lay bare their secret parts.

Isaiah 47:1 Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Take the millstones and grind meal, put off your veil, strip off your robe, uncover your legs, pass through the rivers.
3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, and your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no man.
4 Our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is His name: the Holy One of Israel. [ There is redemptive hope for penitents who have seduced using warm-weather or sports-costumed short-skirted or mini-skirted nude legs ]

Isaiah 57:8 Behind the door and the doorpost you have set up your symbol; for, deserting me, you have uncovered your bed, you have gone up to it, you have made it wide; and you have made a bargain for yourself with them, you have loved their bed, you have looked on nakedness.

Jeremiah 2:25 [RSV/NASV] Keep your feet from going unshod and your throat from thirst. But you said, 'It is hopeless, for I have loved strangers, and after them I will go.'

Ezekiel 16:25 You have built your high place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty to be despised, and have opened your feet [ spread your legs ] to everyone who passed by, and have multiplied your fornications.
Ezekiel 16:36 Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because your shame was laid bare and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotries with your lovers, and because of all your idols, and because of the blood of your children that you gave to them,
Ezekiel 16:37 therefore, hey, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved and all those you loathed; I will gather them against you from every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.

Ezekiel 23:17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of "love," and they defiled her with their lust; and after she was polluted by them, she turned from them in disgust.
Ezekiel 23:20 and doted upon her paramours there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose [ seminal ] issue was like that of horses.

Revelation 16:15 I am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who is awake, keeping his clothes that he may not go naked and be seen exposed.

Hosea 2:2 Plead with your mother, plead - for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband: that she put away her harlotry from her face, and her adultery from between her breasts;
3 lest I strip her naked and make her as in the day she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a parched land, and slay her with thirst.
4 Upon her children also I will have no pity, because they are children of harlotry.

Hosea 13:13 The pangs of childbirth come for him, but he is an unwise son; for now he does not present himself at the mouth of the womb.

[ NOTE: Hmmm. So that's where to stick it in! ]

First Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification, for you to abstain from fornication,
4 each one of you to know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor
5 not in the passion of lust, even as the nations who do not know God,
6 not to go beyond and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger concerning all these, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7 For God has not called us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.

First Timothy 3:2 Now a bishop must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, dignified, hospitable, an apt teacher
First Timothy 3:12 Let deacons be the husband of one wife, and let them manage their children and their households well

[ It is ONE man with ONE woman for such clergy and church leaders! ]

Once the need for a spouse becomes overwhelming evident and expedient, the next step is to prepare for one, and like a male peacock dances for and/or displays his multicolored feathers to attract the female peacock, so the potential mate is assured she will be taken care of in more than one way:

Genesis 24:30 When [Laban] saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister's arms, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, "Thus the man spoke to me," he went to the [man]; and hey, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
Genesis 24:47 Then I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her arms.

First Timothy 5:8 If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a disbeliever.

The female must display her credentials to the male:

Leviticus 21:14 A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a harlot, these [the high priest] shall not marry; but he shall take to wife a virgin of his own people

Leviticus 20:10 If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death.

Numbers 31:13 Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation, went forth to meet them outside the camp.
14 And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, who had come from service in the war.
15 Moses said to them, "Have you let all the women live?
16 Hey, these caused the people of Israel, by the counsel of Balaam, to act treacherously against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague came among the congregation of the LORD.
17 Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.
18 But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
35 . . . thirty-two thousand persons in all, women who had not known man by lying with him.

Judges 21:12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins who had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

Second Samuel 6:16 As the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal [ pronounced: McCall ]the daughter of Saul looked out of the window, and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
20 And David returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, "How the king of Israel honored himself today, uncovering himself today before the eyes of his servants' maids, as one of the vulgar fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!" [ Actually, David had worn a linen ephod when dancing ]
21 And David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me as prince over Israel, the people of the LORD . . . and I will make merry before the LORD.
22 I will make myself yet more contemptible than this, and I will be abased in your eyes; but by the maids of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honor."
23 And Michal the daughter of Saul [ rightly, justly, and understandably ] had no child to the day of her death.

Proverbs 6:32 He who commits adultery has no sense; he who does it destroys himself.

Proverbs 21:9 It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
Proverbs 21:19 It is better to live in a desert land than with a contentious and fretful woman.
Proverbs 25:24 It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
Proverbs 27:15 A continual dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike

Proverbs 31:10 A good wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax [ soft non-itchy cotton is even better than polyester ], and works with willing hands.
16 She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds her loins with strength and makes her arms strong.
19 She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
20 She opens her hand to the poor, and reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes herself coverings; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers girdles to the merchant.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.

Matthew 5:32 "But I say to you that every one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

Matthew 19:9 And I say to you: "whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another, commits adultery."
10 The disciples said to Him, "If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better to not be married."
11 But He said to them, "Not all men can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given.
12 For there are eunuchs [ ex-husbands who have married a woman who he discovered had been unchaste before marrying her ] who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men [ ex-husbands whose then-current wife became adulterous or set herself up for rape ], and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven [ ex-husbands whose continuing-to-disbelieve-and-convert wife disowned him when he became a Christian ]. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."

Mark 10:11 And He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her,
Mark 10:12 and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

Luke 16:18 Every one who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.

Second Corinthians 6:14 Do not be mismated with disbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

First Timothy 5:5 She who is a real widow, and is left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in petitions and prayers night and day;
6 whereas she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives.
9 Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been the wife of one husband;
10 and she must be well attested for her good works, as one who has brought up children, shown hospitality, hospitably provide for the saints, relieved the afflicted, and devoted herself to doing good in every way.
11 But refuse to enroll younger-women widows [ whose previous husbands did not die from self-inflicted disease, self-caused accident or wartime murder? ]; for when they grow wanton against Christ they desire to marry,
12 and so they incur condemnation for having violated their first pledge.
13 Besides that, they learn to be idlers, gadding about from house to house, and not only idlers but gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not.

Romans 7:2 Thus a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies [ from self-inflicted disease, self-caused accident or wartime murder? ] she is discharged from the law concerning the husband.
Romans 7:3 Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she belongs to another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies she is free from that law, and if she is partners with another man she is not an adulteress.

First Corinthians 7:39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. If the husband dies [ from self-inflicted disease, self-caused accident or wartime murder? ], she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.
First Corinthians 7:40 But in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I have the Spirit of God.

When the female human of choice is found by the male human who wants her, verbal suggestion is usually initiated by the male:

Second Samuel 11:4 So David sent messengers [ to bathing-in-plain-view exhibitionist Bathsheba ], and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house.

Proverbs 7:6 For at the window of my house I have window-peeped through my lattice,
7 and I have seen among the naive, I have perceived among the youths, a young man without sense,
8 passing along the street near her corner, taking the road to her house [ crusing around with license-plated-vehicle in the red-light district, scanning the Yellow Pages, internet or tabloids for masseuse and/or escort ads ]
9 in the twilight, in the evening, at the time of night and darkness.
10 And wow, a woman meets him, [mis-]dressed as a harlot, wily of heart.
11 She is loud and wayward, her feet do not stay at home;
12 now in the street, now in the market, and at every corner she lies in wait.
13 She seizes him and kisses him, and with impudent face she says to him:
14 "I had to offer sacrifices, and today I have paid my vows;
15 so now I have come out to meet you, to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love till morning; let us delight ourselves with "love."
19 For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey;
20 he took a bag of money with him; at full moon he will come home."
21 With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him.
22 All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast
23 till an arrow pierces its entrails; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life.
24 And now, sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not your heart turn aside to her ways, do not stray into her paths;
26 for many a victim has she laid low; yea, all her slain are a mighty host.
27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.

Ezekiel 23:14 But she carried her harlotry further; she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion,
Ezekiel 23:15 girded with belts on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, a picture of Babylonians whose native land was Chaldea.
Ezekiel 23:16 When she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers to them in Chaldea [ using her land-line phone, e-mail, or mobile/cellphone? ].

John 4:7 There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."
John 4:10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

Privacy and security are needed for concern-free and enjoyable sexual connections without distractive diversions and the threat of interference:

Song of Solomon 2:14 Oh my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet, and your face is attractive.

For both the husband and the wife, erotic control is necessary to avoid premature ejaculation and premature climax:

Song of Solomon 2:6 Oh that his left hand were under my head, and that his right hand embraced me!
Song of Solomon 2:7 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the hinds of the field, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.

Song of Solomon 3:4 Scarcely had I passed them, when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
Song of Solomon 3:5 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the hinds of the field, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.

Song of Solomon 8:3 Oh that his left hand were under my head, and that his right hand embraced me!
Song of Solomon 8:4 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.

Whether sexual relations of various types and short-term durations take place in a lockable family-room lavatory in some suburban mall, in a secluded trailer or cabin, in a cave, in a camping tent, on the floor or ground, when seated on a couch or chair, etc. the "living water" semen which invariably ejaculates during increasingly-intense male sexual arousal needs clean-up facilities upon cessation of the sensuous activities, in view of:

Leviticus 15:16 And if a man has an emission of semen, he shall bathe his whole body in water, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:18 If a man lies with a woman and has an emission of semen, both of them shall bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.

Song of Solomon 5:1 I come to my garden, my sister, my bride [ not "my" whore or slut ], I gather my myrrh with my spice, I eat my honeycomb with my honey, I drink my wine with my milk. Eat, friends, and drink: drink deeply, lovers!

Song of Solomon 8:12 My vineyard, my very own, is for myself; you, Solomon, may have the thousand, and the keepers of the fruit two hundred.

Isaiah 66:11 . . . that you may suck and be satisfied with her consoling breasts; that you may drink deeply with delight from the abundance of her glory.

Hebrews 10:22 . . . let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be non-defiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
