Religion has contaminated sex.

Even though we are all products of sex, sex is now 'dirty'. People talk about having 'dirty' sex or 'dirty' fantasies etc. Women are 'dirty'.. The whole thing is dysfunctional.

How about we prise this part of humanity out of religion's spiteful hands and take it back.

I propose we start this reclamation and subverting this theist borne toxic meme by replacing the word 'dirty' with 'earthy'.

Let sex be earthy. Let men and women be earthy. Let's celebrate natural, feel-good earthy sex.

If your doing it right, it is dirty. ☺

Just proof how religion controls every part of peoples lives and tries to control all of society. Any long term relationship (marriage or other) will fail without the closeness that sex provides.

Can sex contaminate or dirty religion? ...

I knew early on the church was full of fruitcakes, when they started preaching that sex was wicked and evil. The writing was on the wall, I wanted no part of a believe system that was anti sex, hellooo....

Which I always found odd considering, in most cases, in the same breath they tell us to be fruitful and multiply.

@BeardedWonder There is a degree of wicked consistency in this: procreational sex is ok recreational sex is not. Many religions oppose pleasure. Morons ... Sorry Mormons don't even allow coffee.

@PontifexMarximus No coffee!?!! Now that is a sin!!?

@Buck a deadly sin

I agree with what you say but earthy just reminds me of mud and dirt

"Religion has contaminated sex."

Yes, and religion has contaminated every other part of our culture. We need to recognize that the norms in the West have a religious root which needs to be sorted out.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Sex (among other things) is part of 'Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".

These are basic values common to all, recognizing that they also are derived from religion hopefully can help us sort out what is properly secular and help us realize that sex is a natural human function and not a dirty habit.

It might stop us from trying to justify children being ripped from their mother's breast by use of biblical verse.

count me in - sex is about fun, pleasure & all good stuff - no guilt, no shame

I have no interest in what religion has to say about sex. I heard enough of that crap all throughout catholic school.

earthy works for me

Why don't we do it in the road?

Yes! Couldn't agree more.

To be a downer, the are diseases that come only from sex. That might explain it.

This is a tricky one because the very "dirtiness" is part of the appeal for some ... doing stuff that's forbidden or shocking can (when voluntary of course) be part of the fun.

"Voluntary"?

@Ellatynemouth "consensual"

“Is sex dirty? Only when it's being done right.”

Yeah. Look at the controversy surrounding Woody Allen.

Yes, good earthy sex.

Agreed. Though sometimes the "dirty-ness" makes it more titillating. (Pardon the pun.)

There was a post a while back with a similar point. I agree; something beautiful, or which can be beautiful, and so natural is not dirty.
