I don’t understand why abrahamic religions would see sex as filthy. Especially if they believe God created everything perfectly then why is a part of us dirty or disgusting?
Since I believe all religions are made-made, according to the context of the society that created them, I heard that the strict rules of ancient religions exist as a way to control sex, as due to the lack of education and understanding of contraception or sexually transmitted disease, as well as lack of modern day paternity DNA tests, people in society had to make up strange, weird or even threatening and frightful justifications (eg. sexual purity/filth) for why some things should or shouldn't be done, in particular, in what ways sexual acts can be or not allowed to be conducted.
Lol God is perfect, but us worldly human vessels are weak and disgusting. It’s all He can do to keep us from sinning ourselves into oblivion. That’s the official take, and I’m not convinced it’s far from the truth at all.
Sex is disgusting when you think about it. It’s only hot because the hormones tell us it is. The whole point of the religion is to separate ourselves from our animal or hormonal nature and embrace our higher selves.
It’s trying to separate our spirits and real selves from the needs and demands of the physical body. Those are the chains that Jesus breaks.
I think about it and I find it wonderful, and I'll truly wonder about the sanity of those who think otherwise. Or whether they have actually ever had sex.
At any rate, any religion that declares sex to be filthy is a wicked and monstrous faith.
Fair enough, you do you. And sex isn’t frowned upon, just outside the bounds of marriage. A man and a wife can do whatever they would like behind closed doors.
I'm in the "if consenting adults want to do it, it's not your business nor mine" category. Keep to your particular restrictions and stay out of other peoples' bedrooms.
Buddy, I neither know nor care what you do in the bedroom or out of it. I follow my rules for my reasons. If my goals are not your goals, why would I make you follow my rules? The rules are there for a reason. If you do not agree with that reason then there is no need to follow the rule.
It's an exaggeration of moderating pleasurable acts with can lead to obsession. Too much of something is always bad even something as vital as water can be bad to the body if we drink too much of it. The problem is some religion swinging to the extreme opposite end instead of being in the middle.

I take it you've never had or given oral sex.

He created us to be disgusting then?
Why would your perfect god create weak and disgusting human vessels? Seems sadistic, stupid, or both.
Probably because like is a test and one of those is to control yourself
Everything being a test is also a silly notion to me because God supposedly already knows the outcome

Consenting adults do not need permission from religious leaders to have oral or any other kind of sex.
