Most young people don't affiliate with a particular religion, or don't attend church even if they do. This trend will become even more dramatic in the next generation, and I think that's a good thing. I'm an atheist and so are most of my friends, but I think that even if there *were* a god, that god would *want* us to be atheist because it's the only way we can fully take responsibility for ourselves as a race, good and bad, and work to improve the world. I know a woman in her 40s, normal sex drive, who married a man only to find he believed sex was only for procreation. Anytime she articulated her sexual desires (and they weren't getting ready to have a kid, which face it is a majority of the time) he used it as an opportunity to emotionally abuse her, say that she was unclean in the eyes of god, a sinner, etc. etc. She eventually divorced him but it took her SO LONG to recover and be able to express herself sexually in the next relationship. A shame. Sex has been around WAY longer than Christianity or any of the other major organized religions today. It improves immune function, lowers blood pressure, relieves headaches, solidifies relationships, and provides a host of other beneficial effects that have nothing whatsoever to do with religion. So I agree with you, Kira--if having sex in the context of religion floats your boat, more power to you. If you have other reasons, they're just as valid as long as everyone consents and no one's getting hurt. Well, maybe a little spanking... ;-) <abbr><em>Honey´s last blog post..<a href="http://honeyandlance.com/he-cooks-and-cleans" rel="nofollow">The Nicest Surprise</a></abbr></em> Religion is on the decline, though it’s tough to tell because of the sectarian violence in the middle east.
