Atheists have better sex lives | Daily Mail

Notice where children in religious families tend to get their sex education.

At home. So?

[_Hoops]

I think they missed something.

Religeous people also may suffer from the false sense of being watched while they are otherwise engaged in intimacy.

I know of old school Mormons that even wore their garments during intimacy as well as slept in seperate beds (like we saw in the 60's with the Dick Van Dyke Show) - perhaps attempting to "avoid the very appearance of evil" - at least from the Mormon God's heavenly voyeristic vantage point.

I won't comment on "old school Mormons" since I'm not one. But religious people suffer from being watched and that causes shame? Seriously?

I know in my many churches, we had a sermon at LEAST once a year on sex. It is pointed, informative, and uplifting (no pun intended). And the overall theme of EVERY sermon is that sex is a gift that should be enjoyed as often as possible. And even when one spouse is not entirely in the mood. Etc.

Somebody help the sex lives of the men on this board and make this picture their avatar.

Yes at home. Watching porn.

I believe there was another study done a few years ago, by some university in the states - and mentioned on this board -, that delineated between the sex lives of married religious people and non religious married people.

If I recall correctly, Mormons were high on the list as were southern baptists of sexual satisfaction.

I'm not sure what value there is in pointing out that when religious people fail, they feel guilty. What is the point? You needed a study to determine that?

The problem with that is everyone fails. When you're into a high shame and guilt religion, that's a big problem.

What, exactly, is the problem. That one feels guilt at failing? Why is that bad?

Or is sex a category all its own since it is a "natural" inclination? Please explain.

Heavy guilt, shame, and black and white thinking leads not only to depression, but also addiction and destructive cycles. See:

There's a reason why so many Mormon men can't stop watching porn.

Yeah, per the article, at home in front of the computer.

But this begs a question. Are religious parents less comfortable talking about sex with their kids than non-religious parents? My parents were not comfortable, but I would attribute that to the culture. It might be that Mormons get more comfortable with the topic after BKP passes on and becomes a god.

..religious people suffer from being watched and that causes shame? Seriously?

No, more like stagefright.

Is there any doctrine restricting what can and cannot be seen from beyond the veil? All I am aware of is that I should never read my patriarchal blessing aloud, so maybe spirits are too stupid to read, but can they watch? Lets ask BCspace..

Doctrinally speaking, what's keeping all your righteous dead ancestors from watching you have sex? ..your future children, God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost, Satan, his angels..
