Everyone's got guilt. How do you just let go and forget that sex is supposed to be "dirty" in these religions? Is it the STDs people worry about these days? How is everyone out there?

Because men don't want to give women the freedom that they deserve because women will be running around "mannizing" and no man wants his woman, or daughter, doing that. In the old days, when these religions you speak of were formed, they didn't have birth control, so you can imagine. Before these religions, it was considered charitable to have sex with some bum that didn't get it any other way, because sex is such a divine experience and so such a beautiful thing to give (even today we have the mercy f**k). But too many women would end up with babies from different fathers and the men of the time and place were obviously dissappointed in the status quo. So much for women goddesses.

The Catholic Church doesn't want you exactly to feel guilty that you're having sex. Heck -- sex too is part of God's gift.
What the Catholic Church is against -- Sex outside marriage.
For anyone who has been into a serious relationship -- you'd find out yes, you do have sex. But you would feel so much pain if your partner betrays you and have sex with someone else right?
So to avoid this -- the church tries to protect the spoues by encouraging to have sex, only in the context of marriage. By doing so, each person in the relationship is secured, to know that he or she is not a fleeting object of desire, but someone wherein sex, is but another means of expressing genuine love.
So it's not a hang-up...It was never meant to feel dirty. It's supposed to be beautiful - between two people who profess their love.

Sex is beautiful and so wonderful an experience a man and a woman can experience. Mind you, it is a man and it is a woman, not the lower class specie of animals that move around just doing the fcuking like nothing. So, as humans we have the choice to act like animals or we could make it a beautiful union that rightly proclaim us as what we are.. a man and a woman enjoying sex the right way. Yeah, sexy sexy all the way without feeling guilty about it and there's no babies thrown away.

The Jesuits said, "Give me a child for six years, and I will have him for life." Early training endures. You also belong to a species with no fertility signs shown by the females. Do you have any trouble telling when to breed a female dog? But humans are not like that. STD's were not a factor until wide travel, (Columbus sailing the ocean blue) occurred. Then they spread. There are many social schemes. In Tibet brothers all marry the same woman. It keeps the family farm intact.

People do not really have guilt over sex. People have guilt over sin.
Sex in marriage is a wonderful and beautiful thing.
Sin is a deliberate thought, word, deed, or omission contrary to the eternal law of God. In other words, sin is anything that hurts your relationship with God.
God is concerned with how we treat each other.
We have been instructed to love
+ Our neighbor as we love ourselves
+ One another as Jesus loved us
When we treat each other like sex objects, when sex is taking instead of giving, we damage the human dignity of both our partner and ourselves.
True giving of yourself to another in a sacramental marriage is what love is all about.
Marriage is a symbol of God's creation of the world in an act of divine love and self-outpouring.
Marriage is a symbol of the love, commitment, intensity, and passion of Christ for the Church for which He laid down His life.
Christians take sex very seriously because it is a glorious gift from God that lets us feel just a bit like God. We become lovers, givers, and creators.
With love in Christ

Look what happens when people have sex. Babies. That is scary. So of course sex is scary.
Not to mention the emotional closeness, and the intimate insecurity.
It is more a matter of maintaining control in society. Not being able to just people be who they are, but...
And now there's child support laws...That is scarier than sex.

True Catholics, Jews and Muslims do not have hang-ups over sex. The person who has hang-up over sex are those who judges the view of others over sex and wanted to insist what they see of sex to others. This is a product of narrow mindedness, one-sidedness and a lack of respect on oneself and others.

the catholic view
The Catholic Church teaches that human life and human sexuality are both inseparable and sacred. The Church teaches that Manichaeism, the belief that the spirit is good while the flesh is evil, is a heresy. Therefore, the Church does not teach that sex is sinful or an impairment to a grace-filled life. As God created the human body in his own image and likeness, and because he found everything he created to be "very good," then the human body and sex must likewise be good. The Catechism teaches that "the flesh is the hinge of salvation."Indeed, the Church considers the expression of love between husband and wife to be a most elevated form of human activity, joining as it does, husband and wife in complete mutual self-giving, and opening their relationship to new life. “The sexual activity, in which husband and wife are intimately and chastely united with one another, through which human life is transmitted, is, as the recent Council recalled, ‘noble and worthy.’” It is in cases in which sexual expression is sought outside sacramental marriage, or in which the procreative function of sexual expression within marriage is deliberately frustrated, that the Catholic Church expresses her grave moral concern.

You've got to find the right partner with whom you feel comfortable. Not every one is a player. When it's right, it's a wonderful experience. There's too much pressure put on having sex by our media. If we are feeling our way to it and through it, so to speak, we feel that there is something wrong with us, so we question our values.
