I read this article and it occurred to me that all hyper religious people are obsessed with sex. The article really doesn't go far enough in discussing what I think is an interesting observation. Think quiver full. Think Josh Duggar. That's all they freaking talk about, their sex lives. Boring. Opinions?

Opinion about your opinion, or opinion about the article you failed to post?

I wonder if that is the difference between Islam and Christianity the east thinks about their own temptations and the west worries about everyone else having fun with sex.
The common ground is, of course, that women are responsible for it all.

The common ground is that it's dirty and must be controlled, but only the women, or the person playing the woman, must be controlled. And the women are the ones who get punished. I think possibly shame about sex and the resulting exertion of control over women underlies Judaic religions.

I think you are wrong. My wife is very religious, and she makes me put out all the time!

I agree, Fluffy. Some of the fundies think that sex is a dirty disgraceful thing. I am sure that was engraved in their brains at birth by "The I Only Have Sex to Procreate Brigade."

Just my opinion... sex is useful in controlling large groups of people. Some time in the distance past, a shaman, priest, or tribal religious person figured this out, and wouldn't it be handy in the future? Shame and linking procreation to agriculture and animal husbandry made it possible for the shaman to say, "See there, this kind of sex act results in a bountiful harvest. Didn't I predict this?"

And then, there is the punishment factor. Death to everyone who might try to enjoy sex without the proper paperwork.

Having sexual relations is biblical…

Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 1 Corinthians 7:1-5

That opening phrase has to be one of the wackiest things I have read in a long time.
The support for that phrase is a close follow up.

That's because you'll never understand the bible unless you become indwelt by the Holy Spirit.

You may not have noticed but people who don't accept the Bible indulge in sexual relations. Most do it with joy.
