Sex is a Sacred expression created by God/dess. Unfortunately puritanical, Victorian attitudes against it still prevail throughout the world. I realize Christians are not the only ones who feel this way but their opinions are most prevalent in USA, here. And other questions what are things are considered bad/evil related to this? Human odors as well? These things are not evil either but we are being socialized to thing that way are we not? Other things?

EverydayCatholic; thanks for your input but what the Catholic clergy taught me when I was forced to attend as a child was that boys have sexual impulses that they cannot control but females must control them. That we, as females, are responsible for it all since we didn't have, in their opinions, a sex drive that amounted to that of the boys! As a teenage girl with plenty of hormones and an extremely high sex drive, I couldn't imagine that anyone would have a greater one than me. They also taught how women who were sexual in any way were evil. We were supposed to be like some kind of void virginal vesicles that changed automatically to married women and mothers when the time came! So for you as a man, sure you don't have any worries...it was against us the women. Those are some of the reasons I left, actually ran away fast, from the Catholic Church when I was 21.

When it comes to sex, let`s be honest, for men (even if they claim otherwise) desire can overcome intellect.In this case a woman who HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY "NO!" holds the power.If you`re a patriachal ,monothiestic religion isn`t that a BAD thing?So let`s make woman out to be harlots and blame all the bad things in life on them...
Also if one looks at sex from a bilogical point of view, the woman and man may both co-create the new life, but only the woman may bring that life forth into the world.Maybe this is at odds/is an abomination to a faith that has a male creator/overlord .
Also..remember Judaism is a wee bit heamophobic, blood is unclean, and what does a woman do during her Menstrual cycle?

I'm sorry you have accepted such a bad view point of sex it can be both refreshing (with soap) and with love and affection to the partner if you consider their feelings.If there is a goddess as you have been told then the frog,snake, and the ant are also gods be careful how you step,however,I know you are a person of intellect whom has been propigated into a lie and while I believe your intent is good you need but read the old testament where the false believers upheld a goddess of heaven and GOD destroyed them. Is it really worth a raging burning fire where no one bathes at all and their stench most horrible extends forever,I think you will get tired of the smell by then.I know as a child you did believe in JESUS tell me my friend what happened that you looked at HIM twice and knew HE loved you,and wept for you,why are you where you are,HE still loves you,you know.visit if you will this site for the info you desire as alway it is your choice: http://www.myspace.com/esclj Dante worms crawl in and worms crawl out however worms do crawl.By the way this is not my site it is instead: http://gosnakeouthouse.blogspot.com

I don't consider sex evil. Actually, our possibility for procreation is one of the things that makes us most like God, because He is a Father, after all. However, while God has given us this gift, He has also given us rules about how it should and should not be used. It should only be used between a married husband and wife, and it should not be used in any other way. So sexual relations outside of marriage are inappropriate, while sexual relations within marriage are a beautiful thing.

As a catholic, I have been taught that sex is a beautiful and wonderful gift from God to be enjoyed and practiced often by married couples for bringing forth new life and to strengthen the bonds of marriage.
It is not evil at all.

God created sex. It is a unity factor. God created all our sexual desires. It is to be shared between the husband & wife.
The purpose is for the man to leave his parents, find his woman and they two shall become one flesh. Any sex other than this is adultery or fornications.
There is also a unity factor between Christ and His born again Christian Church.
Human odor is sometimes good and sometimes not so good. It think it depends on what a person eats. So bad odor is the eating habits &/or lack of personal hygene. Also diseases like viruses, bacterias and cancers have a certain odors. So I consider diseases evil. Lack of good hygene is evil. Sex outside of Gods will, purpose is evil.

God did create sex for the sole purpose of procreating. Sex is an expression of love between a married couple. Sex outside of marriage is wrong for a whole lot of reasons..mainly because it is going against what God had intended it to be.

While there are some Christians who believe that sex is wrong that is not a part of the Christian theology so I would appreciate it if you would refrain from stereotyping like that. Christianity says that sex was created by God (not goddess) and it is a beautiful thing, as long as it is experienced between a married man and his wife.
You should check out Song of Songs (aka Song of Solomon).

You are just as warped as the crazy question you asked. Christians have never called sex "evil", it's "evil" or sin if done outside of marriage and perverted types of sex that are EVIL. Those forms of sex are of Satan and a PERVERSION of what God created as good! Sex was meant to be shared between a man and a woman: married that is; to start a family and be fruitful. You need to get your facts straight and do your research before you start trashing Christians and Christianity, babe...
God IS my FATHER...don't know nothin' 'bout no "Goddess"!

sex is not evil! God made it for a man and woman in marriage, it is sacred. It is a wonderful blessing to marriage and brings forth children which are a blessing to God. God made sex for marriage and for offspring. The only sinful thing about it is being used oustide of marriage...you are defiling the sacredness of it. ( if sacredness is even a word lol) But no sex is not evil at all! It just needs to be used in the right way- and that is between a man and woman who are married. Of course we all mess up and sin because sex is a temptation....but those who overcome that, well Good for them! And God will bless them~

Its not that sex is evil. Its that the way that people have made sex to be is not as pure as it should be. It is people that make sex unpure, not the action itself. Its society that make certain rules and people follow them faithfully. It really isn't God, just people that make things like body odour, things like passing gas (excuse the phrasing) unnatural and dirty. We are definitely socialised to believe that we can't express ourselves in our own ways, but have to live by the rules of others - if a child was taught that sex was perfectly natural rather than scaring them to death with how evil it is, and if it was explained to them early enough that as pure and natural as it is, precautions need to be made, then maybe there would be alot less trouble in the world today than there already is. Rapists for example use sex as a means of power rather than for the purity and beauty of it, imagine if they had been taught the real beauty of sex, maybe they would have cherished it more! Who knows. All I am trying to say is that we have to teach our kids right - to be proud of who they are and not to repress themselves in anyone or let anyone make them repress themselves.
