Atheism and the Sex Drive

[egbert]

Sex Camel


A mythical being that can go extended periods without sexual activity. The legend states this being is the offspring of a virgin human and a camel giving it its sexless superpowers. There have been several documented sightings of the mythical creature. Most of them originating out of Welland, Ontario.

You don't have an option for no change. Finding my atheism didn't change my sex drive at all. Of course, I always ignored biblical sexual taboos anyway-- part of that believe-only-what-you-like-out-of-the-bible kind of christianity that's so popular these days.

Just follow the naughty bits:

The Song of Solomon

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—
for your love is more delightful than wine.
3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;
your name is like perfume poured out.
No wonder the young women love you!
4 Take me away with you—let us hurry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers.

Like an apple

tree among the trees of the forest
is my beloved among the young men.
I delight to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

Your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle
that browse among the lilies.
6 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh
and to the hill of incense.
7 You are altogether beautiful, my darling;
there is no flaw in you.

How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume
more than any spice!
11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments
is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
12 You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride;
you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates
with choice fruits,
with henna and nard,
14 nard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon,
with every kind of incense tree,
with myrrh and aloes
and all the finest spices.
15 You are a garden fountain,
a well of flowing water
streaming down from Lebanon.

Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,
that its fragrance may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved come into his garden
and taste its choice fruits.

Your graceful legs are like jewels,
the work of an artist’s hands.
2 Your navel is a rounded goblet
that never lacks blended wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
encircled by lilies.
3 Your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon
by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
looking toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel.
Your hair is like royal tapestry;
the king is held captive by its tresses.
6 How beautiful you are and how pleasing,
my love, with your delights!
7 Your stature is like that of the palm,
and your breasts like clusters of fruit.
8 I said, “I will climb the palm tree;
I will take hold of its fruit.”
May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine,
the fragrance of your breath like apples,
9 and your mouth like the best wine.

When the stupid-ass reverend at our wedding ceremony insisted my husband and I use more bible readings in our ceremony, "Song of Songs" was our salvation.
Just as good as Christina Rossetti, in the long run. And raunchier!

Of course, even though we'd explained to stupid-ass reverend that we were atheists who wanted to get married in his church for family reasons, and even though we acceded to his demand for more bible in our ceremony, it didn't stop him from sneaking in Jesus at every non-scripted opportunity. Fucker.

Does atheism increase or decrease your sex drive? If you used to be religious did you find throwing away those shackles gave you aextra or something?

Judging from the news reports those ministers love getting it on with the parishioners. Perhaps the forbidden-ness attached to the fruit enhances the experience thereof.

Personally, I am a recovering rationalist (common atheist state of mind). Getting by that has improved sex. Not the drive, but being able to stop thinking and let the drive do the driving.
