It always seems to me that the most religious people are the ones with some serious hang-ups in that department.
I mean, come on... it's a natural part of life, (be safe of course) it's a good thing, relax... enjoy it.

That's right. As long as it's Safe, Sane and Consensual, there should be no problem.

I'm a devout Christian lady with seven (yes, four girls and three boys) kids, and fourteen grandchildren. When people comment on the size of my family, my answer is "Momma told me to find what I was good at, and practice, practice, practice...."
Unfortunately, I'm widowed now, and not getting quite as much practice, but then, why try to improve upon perfection? I have another saying: "I might be a bit older, I may not be as slender as I once was, a bit baby chewed here and there...but what I lack in those departments, I make up for with experience, enthusiasm, and one hell of alot of raw talent..."
No, I don't think I am "sexually repressed", Hun, but I am still a devout Christian. I guess your logic must be flawed.

Sex is natural - People that avoid it like the Plague lead dull unexciting lives (pardon the pun)
I knew a Muslim girl that is very strong in her beliefs and nearly fainted when I told her that some men/women liked to be spanked or to the extreme humiliated.... She'll be in a real shock once she gets married

sorry the belief that sex is safe in marriage is false - you can have a cheating spouse that brings home a STD - marriage doesn't eradicate that

That's because religious people teach guilt and fear where sex and the human body are concerned. I personally think that we were given the gift of sexual pleasure for a reason.(Probably to make up for childbirth being so painful -- gotta make procreation attractive somehow) Make love, not war.

I would agree. I have dated several women from my church, and each and every one of them have whacked notions of what sex is, should be, when to have it, etc. Most of them believe birth control is evil (we are talking non catholics here), as one said "Its playing God with your own body. If God wants you to have a baby, you will. If it is not his will, then you wont." Needless to say, I stood there speechless! The stork is alive in well in most churches!
Guilt is used as a tool, regardless of what church you go to. Have sex outside of marriage, and you go to hell. Masturbate and you will go blind (and to hell I am sure). You will never be able to convince these people that sex "is a natural part of life... it's a good thing.. relax." as they have had so many people (mostly men) telling them sex is a bad thing from day one. Associate guilt with sex = needs to see a shrink to overcome their sexual hang-ups for the rest of their life.

I'm not intimidated by sex, but it's best within a marriage between a man and woman. Anything else encourages problems, like STDs and emotional pain. Sex is a very bonding thing, and when those bonds are broken, it hurts.

People like you are a correlation between attraction to sex and attraction to religion: look at your multi-penile flying noodle.
PS: I say "attraction" instead of "intimidated by". It seems more realistic to me.

But I do some of my best work under pressure...
It's times like these Atheism works in my favor!

They have no way to explain the primal sex drive other than to say it's wrong. They can't put any spiritual spin on it, so they make it bad.

I'm intimidated by religious belief. Does the same logic work in reverse?
