Sexuality and Religion

I believe that what you believe about sexuality is directly tied to what you think about religion. Or rather, how you FEEL about sexuality is in direct proportion to how you FEEL about religion.

I have said for a very long time that I am not religious. However, I do not think that is quite true. I believe that I find religion in places where others do not look.

I think our beliefs about religion and sex must have some commonality. If there is a chasm between those two primary beliefs, there is a great fissure in our very being. Some unresolved controversy that we can not completely get around within ourselves.

This issue leads to guilt, self deprecation, self hatred, and so forth. We begin to see others who are comfortable in their sexuality as the enemy. To see others doing what we want to do sexually, but that we 'believe' to be wrong from a religious standpoint becomes a great burden.

I was taught growing up that 'God' was male. That he would take care of my soul. I would always have that original sin problem, but that he would love me anyway. (kind of like being born with a defect of some variety) I was taught that sex was only good for reproduction and women who liked it were harlots. I was taught men liked sex and that was ok. There were the women men married that they believed would take good care of their families and them, and then there were the women they would have sex with outside of that marriage for fun. If you were having sex with a woman who enjoyed it, she was NOT the kind of woman you would marry.

Two areas that sort of reflect what I personally was taught can be found in the areas of: Why is sexual desire so powerful? and When sexual love becomes selfish

From what I have been able to determine about Satanists, they believe that sex and sexuality are the highest form of interacting with another human being. That any sexual act, as long as it is consensual, is acceptable and should be enjoyed. It is not so much about the quantity of sex, but the quality of sex one has. Every person should be free to enjoy the KIND of sex that they desire.

"...the Satanist would not intentionally hurt others by violating their sexual rights. If you attempt to impose your sexual desires upon others who do not welcome your advances, you are infringing upon their sexual freedom. ... If all parties involved are mature adults who willingly take full responsibility for their actions and voluntarily engage in a given form of sexual expression - even if it is generally considered taboo - then there is no reason for them to suppress their sexual inclination."
