Technically there could be religions out there that promote wild unrestrained sex.

If you're talking about the mainstream religions the way they're practised today then I think the evidence points overwhelmingly to sexual repression being created by religion.

Now this isn't necessarily negative for everyone.

The spectrum of negative to positive outcomes is there. On the one hand it's good to not have sex with whoever you want whenever you want. I think evidence supports the idea that children are better off being raised in a two parent household which is pretty much the idea behind marriage which has been supported by the mainstream religions.
On the other hand evidence supports the idea that homosexuals are born that way biologically and threatening to throw them off roof tops or hang them as they do in Islamic countries is barbaric, stupid, pointless.
The child abuse of girls involving cutting off their clitoris, mainly an Islamic thing again, is probably the most extreme form of sexual repression and again is barbaric and violent, extremely negative for the children being abused and for the society they live in

I have to disagree with this. The only biological imperatives greater than the sex drive are the drives to eat and excrete. Now, imagine if a bunch of assholes in funny hats put a bunch of arbitrary taboos on eating like they have on sex.
Which bit are you disagreeing with?


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
