I’ve always wondered when and why sex became this “nasty” word. Who came up with the idea that sex is to be shared with one person for the rest of your life, till the day you die. Who thought of this ridiculous idea? Let me guess- The Gentile religion? BINGO

The gentile religion has told its followers for ages that sex outside of marriage is wrong, and that they’ll burn in the fiery depths of hell and destruction. Hell, they even made Jesus into this sort of asexual man that had no interest in women, marriage, or reproducing. All he seemed interested in was his entourage of burly sweaty men following him around to spread his asexual and repressive religious message. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not here to Jesus bash or make you feel uncomfortable with my anti-religious rants. I’m just amazed at how the Gentile religion has systematically made us feel guilty about an emotion that is supposedly “God” given.

In other ancient religions that pre-date Christianity THOUSANDS of years, there were Gods and Goddesses that were worshiped and revered for their sexuality and sensuality. Gods and goddesses that had shrines and temples built in their honor.

There were Gods and goddesses that cured depression, loneliness, Haphephobia (The fear of being touched), and anxiety through sexual practices, techniques, movements, and Kundalini Energy. There were Goddesses that brought down entire empires and defeated armies with sex and seduction. Hell, even the mad Monk Rasputin was history making in this sexual exploits with the Romanov women, which ultimately brought down an entire family. Ok, maybe I’m giving you negative examples, but still- sex played a HUGE part in these History making moments!

Let’s not forget about Aphrodite, the goddess of love, beauty and sexual rapture!

In honor of the great Ancient Gods and goddesses of sex and sexuality, I say THANK YOU!
