To all former believers: was sex more fun when you still feared an all seeing, all knowing, wrathful God? For me, agnostic sex is still awesome, but without the fear of eternal damnation, it's not as risky or exciting. I also got a kinky thrill thinking the old guy in the sky was floating on a cloud, judging me. Thoughts?
I always knew there was no god....
Sex drugs, and rock&roll
My Baptist past ducked me up, until i,got married to a girl who loved sex....
I didn't believe by the time I had sex but I have heard that before. Comedian Pete Holmes grew up really religious until his 20s and talks a lot about how religious people sex is the hottest because nothing could feel naughtier than if you think you're going to hell for this and still can't stop yourself. There's no greater expression of lust than that lol. I don't think it's worth staying under the thumb of religion for but I am strangely extra turned on by sacriligious porn sometimes lol, a little blasphemy goes a long way even if you don't believe in it's consequences.
But I'm sure it's hot in the same sense that autoerotic asphyxiation or tantric edging is hot. Denying yourself something always amplifies the reward center when you actually get it, it's why people become masochists but I'm all about that hedonism now lol. I'll take it guilt free when I can get it, I don't need any extra religious help in denying myself anything. The objective universe has that pretty well covered so far.
I was a virgin until I lost my faith. Self-control in that area has never been a problem for me.
To me, sex is better without fear, because it opens up the possibility of relaxation and an easy, comfortable psyche, so it will make sex with someone who we like much more pleasurable.
But since in my experience hook-ups depend mostly on there being some element of danger or thrill to overcome boredom (since there is no built up element of trust or affection in a hook-up), then it makes sense to me that the absence of belief would make sex seem less great.
I just enjoy being a large mammal. Maybe I was never truly a "believer".
i wasn't a believer from around 10. but i almost had a come to jesus moment when i woke up in a bed, with a lady, to shouting & my eyes focused on a little man pointing a big gun at me from about 5 ft away.
that was many decades ago & i haven't touched tequila since.
I never ever thought about sin or religion , as far as sex went. And I was still a believer back in those days , till I was mid 40s. I did, however, feel I needed to marry another Catholic..to make everything easier and make the parents happy. How'd that work out for me???? Divorced 20 years ago--lol. Damned religion.
Nope. At age 13, I realized the Bible is just a book of stories written by men. I was too young for sex.
As an atheist, sex is thrilling and euphoric. The mind is the best sex organ.
I enjoyed sex because I never thought I was being judged for it...I was married so it was ‘okay ‘ so I just enjoyed myself!
Never once felt there was any sin involved. I quit the church before puberty set in so I did not hear the admonishments. No guilt, no kink either um, wonder what that means.
