Wait a second, I recognize those spermatozoa!

Did pagans seriously believe in their stories and myths? Are there any intellectual works of antiquity in defense of pagan religion?

No neopagan shit pls

I think a large part of the sexual problems today have more to do with capitalism than Christianity. Our society puts too much emphasis on sex as a form of consumption (not only through the use of sexual advertisement in the media; but also through the outright sale of sex through online dating, pornography, and clubs). This profit motive creates a sphere of media influence in which sex is attached to the value of an individual, for females based on their looks and perceived willingness to put out; for men the number of "notches" in their belt.

Although there are a lot of problems with Christian sexuality, it's rapidly being replaced with a sort of metropolitan sexuality, in which sex is an abstract, dispensable, and masturbatory form of consumption. A way for liquor companies to attach a price tag to the corporal release of excess sexual energy while at the same time depriving it of any spiritual significance.

Teaching kids to "loosen up" is the wrong approach because sex is inherently meaningful. The abuse of meaning sullies it. Not that people should never have sex before marriage, but people should always care about the people they're sleeping with. Sex is an act of love. Sex is mutual cannibalism, the literal and metaphorical placement of another person's body inside yours. The instant of transcendental pleasure where two bodies move within and throughout each other to same rhythm. Anything less than this is masturbation.

Love, which is inherent in everything meaningful, is as much a declaration of pain as of pleasure. Can anyone really say they love someone without willing to hurt for them? People like >>6937629 who try to distance themselves from love with words like "fucking" only distance themselves from the transcendental experience of love and beauty that's inherent in "fucking".

The website in the OP is kind of shitty though. Instead of focusing on sensuality, beauty, and love, it just tries to validate it's softcore porn with a pretentious back-story. Props for trying at least.
