So praying, about sex? Is that even okay?
It’s a silly question, but I suspect you’ve felt that way at least a bit.
Peter Lombard, a theologian who lived in the 1100’s said “The Holy Spirit leaves the room when a married couple has sex, even if they do it without passion to make new virgins for the kingdom of heaven.” We are past that, but generally still fall short of God’s truth about sex.
God tells us to enjoy sex. He tells us to do with an abandon that is likened to being drunk. Surely God wants to hear from us about sex. He wants us to pray when sex is difficult, and He wants us to praise Him for good sex. (Yes, really!) We don’t have to be shy about talking to our Heavenly father about the sexual parts He gave us, or the wonderful things they can do.
Another thing that makes praying about sex difficult can be feeling what we want is not okay with God. What man can pray that God will make his wife engage in that sex act she hates? What wife can feel okay praying that God will take away her husband’s sex drive?
Prayer has a way of bring us into line with God’s will. That’s a good thing in general, and it’s especially good when it comes to sex.
~ This is Paul, telling you that Doing Sex Well is good with God.

And yes, one has claimed the food dish as a place to sleep. It’s a given.
