Know your history...

Where did this "Thine shall not have bucket wild sex" commandment come from?

Losing your virginity was not as large issue in the Christian Bible as it is today... How do you account for Mary Magadelene? Jezebel? Hagar? Hey even Sarah for that matter? Hayle, if the story wasn't written the way it is, Joseph would have not married Mary the Mother of Jesus--regardless if it was a virgin birth or not--'cuz ain't nobody seen a human woman get pregnant without sex back in that day...

So when did this No-sex restriction start, confirming virginity for women?

Before and during the Crusades... In fact, the English King did not want any of the Scots and Irish to keep on breeding... So he restricted the women, to be of certain age--trying to make them too old to have children--to stop them from having more Scots and Irish... That just got translated to other ethnic groups that came up through medieval Europe.

Then during the "guilded age" and the "Victorian Era", the high art of restricting a woman's sex drive when into high gear... With ethics upon ethics of how a "lady acts"...

I guess the thought was if we don't teach them about the "do", then they won't do the "do"--and then they won't care about the "progeny" of the result--yeah, right, great birth control there, buddy...

Birth control concept came in the early 20th century during the suffragate movement... A woman NEVER told her husband "no"--hence, mostly European immigrant families, were dying to have their 5+ child... So it was immigrant women that were wondering how to limit their numbers of pregnancies... Then the world wars occurred and changed many things...

And as some of you know, the actual pharmacological birth control method that came out was in the 1960...

And women at that time--mostly younger 20-somethings thought they had a sexual freedom from pregnancy and they relished in it... But they had all kind of bucket wild sex--not really knowing how to explore the truest forms of sex... And that's when several scientists started pursuing answers to what is "orgasm" physiologically, molecularly, psychologically--etc... You know, "Sex and the Single Girl..." stuff...

But the one thing folks did not account for are the socioeconomic-etrangements and problems that result in mass mating without procreation... And the skewing of how young folks coming up would be influenced like that...

Biblically, there is no concept of how to have sex. It just said this what you do and this is what you don't do... Period... It doesn't allow for the concept of "ecstasy" or "sensuality" or "orgasmic"... One has to read into it to defer those concepts of sex from alternative sources... Then once the references from other sources are made, a few of the Christian Biblical concepts about sex can be understood...

Why would God want humans to have sex a certain way? Why not all ways? Personally, IMO, I do not think the Christian Bible says those kinds of things. I do think there is persecution of those that abuse sex. But I do not think that true "loving relationships" (maritial or not) are not God's plan--otherwise explain why the Bible refers to prostitutes--often?

I think the best manual out there about how to approach physical and sexual relationships is the "Kama Sutra" with the concept of the "Tantra"... There are other manuals. But that manual is probably the best that we've got without adding science into the mix...

So let's get it on...
