sex is overrated

[Dr Strangelove]

Oh you poor man. You can be helped you know.
Come on down to your local clinic and we can discuss easy payments on a plan to restore you to the full functionality that you were intended to have. It's either that or "Exodus" for you. Personally I'd go for the dugs. They're much easier to take than never ending sessions with a bunch of sweaty gay fundies trying to fool themselves into believing that they're interested in doing anything more than getting naked together and re-enacting the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah.

I happen to like being a woman tyvm, Not that i have had any experince being a man But i must say the focus on sex is circumstancial For instance i can lay in the bed with mr tubes and be as content as doing the act, its the closeness, I can sit in the same room has he while hes playing one of his many games and not be bothered that he isnt paying attention to me, Sex isnt only physical its mental too.

Ironically, the source is the same for both extremes, the monotheists. By claiming that sex is bad and evil, the montheists have created a reaction to them that is almost as bad, people having lots of meaningless, self-absorbed, use your partner sex.

First of all, 'monotheists', if you also include Christians, they should not be teaching that sex, or even the sex drive is bad and evil. The question is what do you do with both? There are positive outlets for both, in marriage.

And outside of marriage.

Hmm-- I always found it curious that men seem intrigued by the idea of woman-woman sex while many straight women seem fine with it . IN contrast man-man sex seems to rlicit a much more negative reaction.

That's because men are ugly. Nobody wants to watch ugly things

[Asher]

Not all men are ugly, just the men you hang out with coding FOSS all day.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

Tubes ain't ugly and he's a man, besides beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Judaism doesnt say sex is bad and evil.

I wonder if even islam or christianity uniformly regard it as bad. I've heard christians tell me point blank that they don't believe sex is immoral.

OTOH it seems like at least some of those christians insist that everything relating to sex has to be totally kept out of the public view, and that attitude seems to apply in islamic regions as well.

[Last Conformist]

Well, you can find atheist puritanians too.

There are always going to be exceptions, but I can't see how it would be unfair to say that Christianity generally takes a pretty dim view of sex and sexuality.

@Diss: Forgive me if I take the fact you're starting threads like this as suggesting you actually do want sex (and that's inclusive of the mental bit Mrs Tub is speaking of - likely that's part of why you do not seem satisfied with bought sex), but try to tell yourself you don't want to.

You should read some of the early Church fathers and mediaeval theologians on what 'women' are like. The misogyny and hatred is paralleled only in modern times by fundie Christian frothings and ravings about gay men (and lesbians, when they can remember they exist).

Judaism enjoins husbands to give sexual pleasure to wives, and although I can't remember the exact references in the Koran, I seem to recall Islam expects husbands to give their wives sexual pleasure too, despite whatever cultural practices may now exist.

Origen castrated himself, out of fear and disgust at his sexuality, and Tertullian, Augustine of Hippo and St. Jerome all see 'woman' as an unclean vessel. This view was carried on by the early mediaeval theologians, and also by St. Thomas Aquinas.

But what could you expect from a bunch of sex denying males living communally?
