Response: Stripper Fantasy?

From a reader: Is it a sin to have a fantasy of my wife as a stripper? Is it sinful for my wife to strip for me with the end being intercourse?

It would be sinful to take pleasure in imagining someone doing something sinful. So if your fantasy is of your wife stripping for money or for other people then, yes that fantasy would be sinful. As far as your wife stripping for you, that falls under foreplay. If doing that helps to excite both of you to prepare for the marital act then that is permissible. Generally speaking, you have to get at least somewhat naked. Why not make that part a bit fun too?

While you're at it, consider if maybe your wife would like for you to strip for her!
