Read our privacy policy A recording of Hillsong Church co-founder Bobbie Houston telling married women they “need to be good at sex” for their husbands has emerged, drawing sharp criticism. In the recordings, first reported by Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph, Mrs Houston encouraged Christian women to strive for “amazing sex” strictly within the boundaries of marriage, adding: “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’.” She also opined that it was acceptable for Christian women to get plastic surgery “if it’s for the right reasons” - which included getting one’s teeth fixed because “a mouth is supposed to be very desirable”.
