Hillsong founder Bobbie Houston’s sex life tips

Audio has emerged of a Hillsong founder urging “kingdom women” not to be “sloppy” with orgasms and to be Godly by keeping their hubbies happy in bed.

The founder of one of Australia’s largest evangelical churches has urged wives to be better at sex so they can proudly say they “have a great marriage;” instructed them to not get “sloppy” with pelvic floor exercises or their orgasm will suffer, not to get so fat “you need a hydraulic crane to turn over in bed,” and to get their teeth done so their “mouth is desirable” to their husbands.

The bizarre list of sex life tips for her fellow “kingdom women” has come from Bobbie Houston who, with husband Brian, founded the Sydney-based Hillsong mega church.

However, one of her comments, where she said she felt “retarded” when overweight, has been criticised as “appalling” and “demeaning”.

New Zealand born Ms Houston has become one of the most powerful figures in the Pentecostal church movement since she helped to set up Hillsong, named after Sydney’s Hills District, in 1983.

Its services combine US style evangelical preaching with contemporary music. Singers Justin Bieber and Nick Jonas and NBA player Kevin Durant have been seen at Hillsong services or those of its aligned churches.

The controversial religious organisation, which now has branches worldwide, teaches that God bestows material wealth and physical wellbeing on his followers.

In 2003, a recording of Ms Houston’s views on intimacy was sold as a CD originally called Kingdom Women Love Sex but that title has since been toned down since to Kingdom Women Love and Value their Sexuality. The CD is no longer available.

In an extract from the CD, Ms Houston stressed that “great sex and intimacy” should be within the “confines of marriage”.

“I’ll just state that upfront,” she added.

“But kingdom women should have a very healthy attitude towards this amazing dynamic.”

Ms Houston then goes onto say she picked up a “secular men’s health magazine,” which may have been Men’s Health, on a flight from Melbourne and it “actually wasn’t offensive”.

She paraphrased a piece that said “don’t worry about the Kama Sutra position 5004, just don’t even go there. It won’t work”

“Because how many would agree your men have trouble assembling a swing set on Christmas morning?” Ms Houston added.

After momentarily swerving into the realm of child’s toys, she gets back to the matter at hand – intercourse. She frames great sex as Godly.

“We need to be good at sex ourselves so that if the world happens to come knocking we can tell the story of God in our lives. We can say, ‘I have a great marriage and a great sex life’ … wink, wink, nudge, nudge.”

Another of Ms Houston’s tomes.

“Without being lurid or untruthful; I have a great marriage and a great sex life,” she says in the audio, which was first published by The Daily Telegraph.

“Girls, pelvic floor exercise – can you believe I am saying this? I have heard that orgasm is not as strong if you are really sloppy in that area.”

Ms Houston’s view didn’t stop at sex itself. Plastic surgery was fine for women who are believers, “if it’s for the right reasons,” she said.

“When it comes to personal hygiene and maintenance works, for example, get your teeth fixed, a mouth is supposed to be very desirable,” she said,

She also recommend Sorbolene moisturiser with vitamin E to ensure you have “beautiful soft skin” and remain desirable for you god-fearing hubby.

“Back pain. Plumbing bits. OK, get them fixed, get healed, or go to a doctor, I’m not joking.”

Hillsong is one of Australia’s biggest cultural experts with branches now worldwide.

‘RETARD’ COMMENT SLAMMED

There was another key area you shouldn’t be sloppy in either – weight gain.

“If I carry weight I feel like a retard, how are you going to do anything to surprise your man when you need a hydraulic crane just to turn over in bed?” she asks on the tape.

Ms Houston’s equating weight gain with a slur for someone who has a mental illness has rubbed a number of people up the wrong way.

Greens Senator Sarah Hanson Young remarked on the line on social media today.

“That’s appalling and uses demeaning language. Shameful,” replied one person to the politician’s post.

On Ms Houston’s personal Facebook page, where there is no mention of the audio, one commenter said sarcastically her “retard” comment was “oh so Christian like” beneath the

recent post – about a lightning storm.

Since when is the use of the word ‘retard’ acceptable in any setting, let alone being used by someone purporting to be Christian? #hillsong showing their true colours. Only sheep are fooled.

Kingdom Women Love and Value their Sexuality is just one of many books and CDs that Ms Houston has authored.

Titles also include She Expands Beautifully, She is Body Beautiful, She is Fast Lane Savvy, She Values and Loves her Femininity, She Makes Mincemeat of her Enemies and I’ll Have What She’s Having.

All are around themes of female empowerment in the context of religion.

HILLSONG’S OTHER CONTROVERSIES

The Houston’s organisation has courted controversy not just for its stances, but also due to the activities of some of its most prominent members.

In November, New York Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz, who baptised Bieber, was sacked.

“The action has been taken following ongoing discussions in relation to leadership issues and breaches of trust, plus a recent revelation of moral failures,” Brian Houston wrote in an email to Hillsong members.

Ms Houston was later recorded as saying Mr Lentz had “more than one affair”.

Bieber has since quit the church where there had been rumours he was studying to be a pastor.

“I’m not studying to be a minister or anything even close to that,” he wrote. “Have no desire for that. This is fake news.” In the following story, he wrote: “Hillsong is not my church.”

In 2019, Prime Minister Scott Morrison admitted that he had sought an invitation for Mr Houston to a state dinner at the Trump White House.

“We put forward a number of names that included Brian,” Mr Morrison told 2GB’s Ben Fordham.

“I’ve known Brian for a long time and Hillsong church has a very big network of churches all across the United States, and the ministry is probably the single largest church organisation that is known in the United States.”
