This battle against the Chains of Sunday School is one that’s gonna be won in stages, and Dina’s STRIVING every step of the way, with agility and intellect that’s OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!
Yeah, well what I wonder is if either of them has thought ahead to the possibility that Dina may remove all Becky’s clothes only to discover that it doesn’t do anything for her. Dina isn’t going to lie about it. How will Becky feel then?
I think she’ll be pleased by the sight of more Becky, the bigger question is if Becky finds “pleased” is satisfactory when what she really wants is for Dina to go feral on her.
Doing science is Dina’s kink. If nudity is a means to that end, so be it. She can achieve anything with sufficient research.
If Dina enjoys seeing Becky experience sexual pleasure – that can be enough for a fulfilling sexual relationship. And Dina certainly seems to be enjoying herself.
While she may not walk in on Becky sleeping nude or showering and get horny – I suspect she’ll very much enjoy seeing a squirming, aroused Becky coming undone under her ministrations.
I also suspect that seeing Becky naked will result in many, many hypotheses coming to mind about how Becky will react to certain acts – and also what Dina will experience from certain acts. Which Dina will be particularly eager to engage in rigorous testing of.
Is that what your average person considers “sexual attraction”? Maybe not.
Conditioning also exists. So the more often Dina experiences pleasure while seeing Becky naked, the more pleasure she’ll gain just from seeing Becky’s naked body.
Also, it’s likely a lot of Becky’s expression of horniness is tied into her conditioning. Dina knows that the second Becky is emotionally ready, Dina will be free to choose to engage in any sexual acts they mutually desire. That brings a lot of calmness.
Becky’s every feeling of lust is wrapped up in “not until marriage”, “it’s sinful”, “God doesn’t want this”, and as we saw last page there’s also guilt and self-flagelation for feeling it. And if Becky has a denial kink then that’s way more hot and bothered.
It’s not unlikely that if Becky were also standing there 100% feeling “As soon as Dina and I feel it’s appropriate for us, we will be able to fully enjoy sex to our hearts’ content” – she wouldn’t be having such huge reactions to Dina’s shoulders.
According to an ex-girlfriend of mine who happened to be Israeli, it is only premarital male sex that is forbidden by the bible due to semen death. Female orgasms don’t result in the deaths of microorganisms, so they are actually a mitzvah – a blessing – not a sin. So biblically, Becky is in the clear for all her lady fluids.
If you’re thinking of Onan, it’s not even because of the general death of semen (and they didn’t know about microorganisms). Check out the context of the story: Onan was clearly supposed to impregnate a particular lady, but masturbated instead of fulfilling that duty. Spilling your seed isn’t bad, you’re just not supposed to shirk your duties when God has given you a specific spunk-mission.
Leorale
(Ok I’m being hyperbolic. It isn’t quite as goofy as I described it, God didn’t, like, appear and command Onan not to pull out. But it’s still a very specific story, in which Onan had a clear and specific responsibility to his brother’s widow, and it’s super wild that Christians interpret this as God hating male masturbation in general.)
Leorale
Forgive the long paragraphs, it’s 2:30am and I’m talking about Torah-sex, what is my life.
“Mitzvah” doesn’t mean “blessing”, it means “commandment”. Early on, humanity is commanded to “be fruitful and multiply”, so procreative sex between married people is lauded under that category. While many may personally agree that orgasms are a blessing, lady-orgasms aren’t commanded by God, they aren’t mentioned either way. They’re just a delightful bonus.

And that’s probably why American conservatives tend to not give a shit about them, either.
Z
He actually fucked her, then pulled out and came on the ground.
I’m pretty sure even nowadays it’d be considered *really* shitty to convince a woman you want to have a baby with her so she lets you fuck her, then pull out like that.
Like, she wouldn’t have agreed to the sex if he said “I don’t want kids I just want to get off”. And you knew it. So you lied to trick her into saying yes.
So it’s not even that nkn-procreative sex is bad. It’s that lying to trick a person into sex you know they wouldn’t have agreed to is shitty and unacceptable.
Which is a really good moral.
Leorale
This is indeed a good moral.
Plus, there was no social security, the way to get taken care of in your old age was to have sons to take care of you, that was their retirement plan. Super crappy to promise a 401k and then pull out.

And lo, the Lᴏʀᴅ did say unto them: provideth that thou bring paper towels, or a mop of many woven cords of yarn, thou art verily in the clear in whatsoever thou doest mutually and in good cheer.
I mean the law she’s trying to dodge is bullshit, she’s entirely justified about that, but I don’t think this is a defense that would hold up in front of a judge.
She threw out the whole “don’t be gay” part because it didn’t fit with what she wanted from religion. Why wouldn’t she throw out this part too?
Needfuldoer
Because!
zee
Yeah because trauma and human psychology are that easy.
If you weren’t traumatized by that thing then why are you still traumatized by this thing, just get over it >:(
It’s not just for kicks. As we learned when she was talking to Leslie, Becky would be comforted to know if Dina has sexual attraction before they marry. Beyond the lust and love, a loophole to find out now could avoid incompatability leading to divorce, which is its own “sin” with less opportunity for loophole.
Becky’s doing her best to not let go of a faith that has mostly failed her because she believes in the “important” stuff, such as the rest of the virtues… I’m sorry but this is a bad faith take of Becky’s personal situation.
Is a distinction between “the letter” and “the spirit” even a concept that Biblical literalists have in their vocabulary? Asking because I genuinely do not know.
Becky is a pretty standard American Christian in that regard, it’s just that when she inevitably said “Oh no, this part of the immutable word is really harmful to my worldview. Time to mute it!” the part she muted was actually harmful and she’s not muting something like “Feed and clothe the hungry and cold,” like most American Christians do.
Yeah like, I kinda feel that a lot of modern cultural Christianity is about turning off and on the parts you want to follow.
Becky in a vacuum feels contradictory, where she was able to throw everything she didn’t want into the garbage, but “Good Christian Girl having a sexual guilt complex” doesn’t feel like that much of a stretch.
Fundamentalist beliefs is often literalist. In that sense, loopholes might be amenable to a believer. Alternate interpretations don’t focus on the action more so than the intention itself, which is assigned greater significance.
there’s not ROOLS against her undressing herself, it’s just that she’s been raised with shame around it- that’s what she meant about the Fundie Shame last strip. it’s not against the rules, she just can’t shake bad feels about it.
This gets around the shame, which is not a choice, but continues to toe the Actual lines Becky wants to toe.
It’s not a creed, it’s internalized “sex is bad” and “don’t be naked” messages that she grew up with causing a post-traumatic physical reaction.
It’s not that she didn’t want to get naked, it’s that she physically couldn’t bring herself to do it, or probably even bring herself to seriously consider the idea.

For all we know, that which arouses her can be seemingly mundane and non-sex related to us. Like say, getting fossilized.

Even if this isn’t against the letter of the law but it sure feels like it’s against the spirit.

Yeah, one’s supposed to avoid acts motivated by lust, same way you are supposed to avoid acts motivated by anger or greed.
