Do you feel as if religion creates sexual suppression
#2
RE: Do you feel as if religion creates sexual suppression
Absolutely, yes.

It can create repression. It can lead people to bury their sexuality, especially if they are gay or bisexual. This can lead to depression and even suicide.

It can make people ignorant and badly informed, because things aren't talked about properly.

It also creates situations where people are, statistically speaking, lying all the time. We have people who say masturbation is wrong, while secretly doing it, and pretending to the world they never do it. Sure, some people make achieve that (with potentially dangerous side effects) but mostly people will just be doing it anyway. And this will make them feel unecessary guilt.

Sexuality can be confusing enough as it is. Religion can make it a whole lot worse. The idea that the creator of the whole universe has even noticed us is far fetched; the idea that they care what we do with our floppy bits is just totally absurd.
