Is The Christian/ Muslim aversion to sex much like that of kids speaking in hushed tones about it? Is it possible that maybe Christians and Muslims who are so abashed to it's happening are not mature enough to be having it?
I'll admit, I joke a lot, but I don't freak out if some 60 year old has condoms. I just accept that they are probably still having sex.

For Islam the big thing is needing the separateness of women in worship. To me that displays the men fear of their ability to control their sexual impulses, which to me is immature.

Slam? I am sorry for stating an observation, wit my opinion attatched. Maybe next time I should decide to post a video of a Muslim woman being shot by a man, and declare it the norm?
Oh, wait. I'm sympathetic towards Islam, and know what a fringe group is.

If I hear something really racy, I'll giggle. I've recently gotten into reading Cosmopolitan, and for me, that's blushing/giggling hour. In this months' issue, for example, I found out that a man ejaculates at 28 MPH and that sperm has 5 calories per teaspoon. I was beet red when I read that, and thought to myself, what the heck, why would I need to know that???? Anyway, I'm not shy about sex at all. In Islam, a married couple is encouraged NOT to be shy with each other in the bedroom. You can enjoy the view of each other fully, as you are married. My ex was like what you are talking about. He was so entwined with his culture that holding hands was sexual. I said to him "Do you see our two children there? Well, so do they. I'm pretty sure they know we're not exactly virgins anymore, dear".
You are right. Some people are extreme and act so immature about it. If you have something to say, SAY IT. Don't giggle about it. If one of you likes a certain thing that turns you on, tell your spouse. That's the only way it will get done.

Prayers in Islam involves Kneeling, and touching the ground with your forehead.. It also requires a very high degree of cocentration, if you lacked concentration in th prayer, you may not safely asume it's accepted. That's why men and women pray separately.. Despite family members can pray together, women at the back lines and men in the front, so as men are not distracted by women as they kneel, etc.. Don't deny that the gestures of a woman can be a turn on to most males in the world; do you want me to mention the percentage of Rape cases in your country? is that the maturity you're talking about?
It is really immature to think that someone will leave the prayer to jump on a woman.. in Islam, it is not ptreferred to pray on a mat having different colors, so as not to distract yourself. Islam was the first religion to talk about foreplaying between a man and a wife; if we are immature we wouldn't have considered that.. It is an obligation for a muslim man that if he "came" He MUST stay hard for his wife till she's done, what maturity are you seeking more? what further control can be applied?

I understand what you are saying my friend, but open your eyes and see there is nothing more left like what you are saying. Yes it is neccessary to control our desires in public so that the serenity can be maintained, but there is nowhere written that you need to be shy when you are having sex with your spouse. Muslims and Christians associate it with the act of reproduction which, according to me is a good sometimes that you enjoy sex with knowing all the responcibilities and ramifications attached to it.
Look around you my friend, you will find enough people talking about sex and not in a hushed tone....let me remind you that more than 80% of the world's population is comprised of Christians+Muslims......

Women prayed behind Men in Islam to u may sounds immature but hey God makes Man that way. They are created in a way to be very attracted to the opposite sex and thats Nature's order u cant blame em. For muslims, u must be 100% in concentration to God and nothing else and when they bow, instead of thinking about God they may be measuring the woman's bottom and having quite an imagination which is really bad for the mind.

Islam is not averse to sex. In fact, the Prophet Muhammad (peacea nd blessings of God be upon him) said:
"Sex is a form of charity."
What Islam is averse to is promiscuity, open sexual display, and shamelessness. Sex is between a husband and wife, not for people to be so shameless as to discuss it constantly in public, especially not with members of the opposite sex that one is not married to.

We just respect the sanctity of it, and the power to bring life into this world. We also believe in taking responsibility for out actions. This leads to our stance on various issues.
