I hope I'm correct in saying that we never feel so good as during/after sex.
For want of a better description I'll say it's "spiritual".
How does your religion (or lack of) impact on your sex-life?
What do the major religions have to say about sex?
(Let's avoid the obviuos and miss Catholicism!)

'Spiritual' seems to me a feeling of harmony with some kind of higher order: the Tao, nature, a god, a community, etc.
Whereas ideally (at least to me) a sexual experience makes me forget a larger world even exists. 😛

Originally posted by wolfgang59i think a lack of religion removes guilt (some) from sex. despite my non spirituality im actually divided on feelings towards sexual liberation. part of me agrees with the idea that eventually sex should become a non taboo thing with all stigma being removed and people being set free to do as they wish without judgement. i like the idea that talking about it becomes the norm, with nobody getting uncomfortable.

on the other hand i like the idea of sex being reserved a kinda secret between two people, a private sharing of something intimate. without forming a bond first a singular night of passion sometimes feels like it detracts from when it is more meaningful and should possibly be discouraged (if think, maybe??)
there is probably a happy medium somewhere in between.

spirituality has nothing to do with sex. The only reason you feel good
is because you have completely given in to all of your basic natural
animal instincts and you act accordingly.
The rest of the time you are not being true to yourself.
Outside of sex and violence the face we show the world is false.
It is only during sex or violence that you truly show your true self.
That's why sex sells. Advertisers have used pretty models to sell
products for decades.
Sex sells because it is successful and reveals the true nature of humanity.
Violence shows your true nature as well.
That's why the most successful Movies and TV show always include
sex and violence.
Look at the latest batch of award winning TV shows,
among the top are Spartacus and Game of Thrones.
2 shows that feature a hell of a lot of sex and violence.

Originally posted by wolfgang59It always amazes me to see the use of language, and the reaction to language, religious people use when comes it to matters of the flesh. Clean, unclean, unhygienic and rutting dogs are a few that spring to mind.

you could know someone for 50 years and they could still
surprise you.
Very few people open up to reveal their true nature.
They are too afraid to do so because of many reasons.
Fear of rejection, lack of confidence, afraid to show any
sign of vulnerability, all sorts of reasons.
I don't wear any mask. I am who I am. If you don't like me then fine.

the 'true' you that you mention, i think is just another one of those 'masks'.
we are social creatures and subconsciously tweaking who we are and how we act is all part of survival by trying to fit into a group or role.
i think some people sometimes consciously live a lie, put on an act and know they are. these people i think can usually be easily spotted. our subconscious can usually read the subtle body langue give away's that somebody is a fake.
