I think it is worth remembering that traditional Christian thought (at a time when all western Christians were Catholic) was that sex was for procreation and that to do it for any other purpose was sinful.

Hold on now, we receive Communion every week. Abstinence of any length over 7 days, much less 14 days, would mean permanent abstinence. So there's no way that would ever even be suggested, as the point of marriage is to have children which would be completely impossible under such a rule. Therefore I think there's a lot of important context here you must be leaving out.
Most people only received communion a handful of times a year in the middle ages up to Pius X.  Many saints only received communion 3,6,12 etc times per year, those numbers were from whatever religious order or region they were in.  The idea that taking communion every sunday as a normality has only been present in the early church and Pius X to the present.

I don't recall that myself, but if you look at his posting history it looks like he's obsessed with sex, the marital debt, Josephite marriages, divorce and remarriage, invalid marriage, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs, sodomy within marriage, NFP, contraception, pregnancy, sɛҳuąƖ abstinence, concupiscence and similar topics. Even his interest in theology seems connected to sex, for example "Sts. Anne's and Joachim's sɛҳuąƖ act"

I don't think his fixation on sex is very healthy or holy.
I see Geremia is choosing to ignore this. Just now he posted about a saint. About a saint vowing virginity that is. There's that topic again. Very curious for a married man to be so obsessed with sex and all topics touching on it.

Very charitable and brave of you to pry into the personal life of a named poster anonymously!

It seems you may be obsessed with the private life of another poster. I would regard such issues as a private matter.

St. Gregory of Nyssa, for example, was married and highly praised virginity and its beauty. Does that make him "obsessed with sex and all topics touching on it," too?
