Doug Wilson Sex Quotes

5 documented quotes on this topic

Doug Wilson's published statements on sex — particularly his 'penetrates, conquers, colonizes' framing in Fidelity (Canon Press) — have drawn sustained critique. This page collects documented quotes alongside what Scripture actually teaches about marital intimacy.

“...wives need to be led with a firm hand. A wife will often test her husband in some area, and be deeply disappointed (and frustrated) if she wins. It is crucial that a husband give to his wife what the Bible says she needs, rather than what she says she needs.” – Doug Wilson

“If by AIDS you mean that the HIV virus is present in your body, then I would refer you to the book Inventing the AIDS Virus by Peter Duesberg. It is quite possible that your situation does not warrant abstention from sex at all—but only because the HIV virus is harmless.” – Doug Wilson

“Our ministry to Steven, in other words, has not been conducted at the expense of any children in our church community, or in a way that puts any of them at risk.” – Doug Wilson

“But when we are dealing with young children who are abused by adults (pederasty, child porn, etc.) the penalty for those guilty of the crime should be death.” – Doug Wilson

“In other words, however we try, the sexual act cannot be made into an egalitarian pleasuring party. A man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants. A woman receives, surrenders, accepts....True authority and true submission are therefore an erotic necessity.” – Doug Wilson
