Wonderful topic, thank you Paulo! Yes, a gift. I have a body, and the freedom to choose to enjoy - or not.  Share or not. I choose to become a parent, or not. If I want to share and need information, then it is also up to me, to ask questions and find answers. But sex for it's own sake with anyone, without love, is not of interest to me. : )

Para mí la sexualidad debería de ser vivida al estilo tántrico, indú. Tengo a mi Maestro Oskar Hodosi, quien nos da un ejemplo perfecto sobre este tema. Para mí durante este tiempo de oscurantismo, la religión tapó el hecho de que la mujer es el canal hacia lo divino, la conexión directa a la divinidad. Ahora que se empieza de nuevo a vivir en una sociedad matriarcal parece que la venda se está cayendo. La Sexualidad es Sagrada

I believe religion is much more focused on moderation then completely restraining one self from pleasure. Also reading religious scriptures should be read in the context in the time it was written. People back then didn't have the luxury and safety that people do have now, so it was very smart to only have sex when married back then. Because we have money, condoms, birth control, and etc. we can express our self-sexually without worrying so much about bad consequences. Key word Moderation!

@carpediem219 when the child matures, tho, he does not need those taboos and directions, because he knows himself what is hurtful and what is not. A small child may hit his brother or sister because he's oblivious that other's feel pain, too. However, as he grows up he learns to see the situation from the point of view of another human being. But in the beginning his parents might say to him "don't hit your small sister!"

@carpediem219 actually, I do agree that the inner voice, or the voice of the heart, is the best guidance we can have, and when we follow it, we do not need any book to tell us what to do. What I am saying is that some taboos mentioned in the Bible or any other holy book, make sense, even when you look at them throug your heart. To continue my analogy with children: when a child is very small, he might need lots of directions from his parents to be safe in this world.

[carpediem219]

@MsDaryna of course you are all loving and caring - that's the true nature of everybody on this Earth. These books that you mentioned can be of no good guidance to you or anyone, cause true guidance is the inner voice :) And real thank's for a brake ;))) By the way - I do have God's number... :) You do to - but the bible is stuck in your line so unfortunately you can't use it at the moment...

[MsDaryna]

@carpediem219 And If I'm the one whos permission you need to have a break, you can have it:-) I am all loving and caring lol

[MsDaryna]

@carpediem219 Do you have God's private number, that you know so well what he could or could not give pple? Open any book, like Bible, Quran, Torah, and you'll find plenty of taboos. Like, don't kill, don't lie, don't steal. If you are a parent, would you give your child an opportunity to eat chocolate 24\7, or you'll say "no" to his chocolate cravings time to time? And what is a REAL love: allowing children to do something hurtful to themselves, or warning them against those hurtful actions?

[carpediem219]

@MsDaryna whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???? God gave taboos???? Are You really crazy?? :DDDDD God could possibly give You only pure love and freedom. It's your upbringing, church, etc. that makes you think God can "give taboos". OMG, get over it! No, honestly, why would anyone have such a stupid idea like God giving taboos. Give me a brake :)

[MsDaryna]

@carpediem219 I am not talking about church as a source of those taboos. They've actually been given to us by God. What we have (like what u said about marriage out of love being a rare case in the old days) is mostly people's interpretations.

[MsDaryna]

@Evalyra Well, of course it is everybody's business. At least today, when there is no punishment for sex outside marriage. Yet I have found out that many pple I know tried this path to come back to old truths. And I think having sex with many pple has little to do with love.
