If I remember it was a fairly constant refrain of his that far too many SSPX ladies were pious on Sundays and sluts the rest of the week, and if you couldnt get one by 21 she was very likely rotten fruit and in effect a stepford wife playing an act of piety.  He spoke of it in the present tense not the past and gave other anecdotes.

That was the motivation for the PR girl if I recall.  I think he openly admitted it.  "Get them young before they are spoilt by the world", (i am paraphrasing).

He had it blown out of all proportion but there was a kernel of truth there.  I know of some very screwed up situations, blown opportunities, open goals missed.  Women think they have all the time in the world, they dont.

When I was at Uni I used to go to car auctions and buy second hand cars to sell.  The trick was to bid on everything you remotely wanted and bid low and therefore get yourself in the running and auctioneer looking at you.   But if you were buying one car bid always bid towards the end, car were cheaper, because demand dropped.  I never went home empty handed because I focused on the fact that I only needed to buy one car and took them one at a time.  Other people procrastinated on the Audi hoping they would get a bargain on the BMW coming next, then were so distracted by the fact it made 25% above book that they missed the Ford or were not confident to bid on it because they had not heard the engine start up.

Some Trad men make the same mistake of worrying about the health of the wood and a few diseased trees, when all they need to do is cut down one healthy tree.

Tele sank enough emotional and intellectual effort in to marry 10 women.  But he only needed to marry 1.

Every three days would be good going.  Like the size of anglers' fish we will never know the truth.

I don't think frequency has a great deal to do with how many children you have so cannot be implied.  There are so many other factors involved including the man and woman's fertility that two couples having sex every three days versus every three weeks could end up with the same number of children.  The only thing you can say for sure is that a large number of families with 2 or 3 children after 15 years shows something is amiss in that population.

My 6 siblings have 52 between them.  I asked and so I am pretty sure I am right.   One thing about me, I collect data.

Anyway, suffice it to say Matto that it ranges from "a lot" to "sweet fanny adams".   Think of it like a scratchcard at the 7 to 11.

Totally different to what I expected as a young turk, but nice all the same.  On my deathbed, I reckon I will be thinking about my daughter winning her school's cross country race, my son's first boxing fight and how I rebuilt the house with my own two hands.  The kids and family unit are the best part of marriage for me by far.  Seeing them grow and thrive is the jewel in the crown.  If I had to get married again using a time machine that is what i would enjoy the most bringing up the children.

I was just going to say that you're giving a bit too much information about your life there, Greg. Hahaha

As always, there are some elements of your post that I agree with. For example, the ridiculous assertion of hedonistic worldlings that if you have a large family, you must have an above-average amount of sex. Do they not understand how conception happens? The hedonistic modern world is sex-obsessed. And in this case, it doesn't even make sense. 

But on the other hand, I'd like to point out that some couples are different from you and your wife, and some Catholic families are nothing like yours.

Our family doesn't EVER deal with late night conference calls or business trips, for example.

Testosterone (and energy level in general) depends a lot on one's genetics, diet, and habits. Some men have real issues with T even their early 20's (just look at the crew at Buzzfeed. Talk about a bunch of soy-boy low T beta males!) but some men have no issues at all in their 40's or older.

Testosterone requires cholesterol (read: MEAT) and strenuous use of muscles causes men to produce more of it. Also, obesity KILLS men in this department.

Greg said a married couple would only have sex 12-36 times a year (if they were lucky).

Is it really true that a married couple would be lucky to have sex so few times? I was never married so I wouldn't know and I have never asked.
Ggreg is speaking for himself...hahaha
Don't let him scare you away from marriage.

Actually, you should realize the flaws in your scientific methodology. You and your brothers/sisters all have the same genetics. Probably the same energy level, aging pattern, testosterone level, etc. At least very similar. You not only have the same nature, but the same nurture as well. Not a good statistical cross-section from which to draw broad conclusions.
