So in religion sex is taboo, but in atheism, the taboo goes out the window. I had a friend once who claimed he was a sex addict, with the underlying message being that having that type of " addictions" is wrong?
Addiction vs love... what does that really mean? As atheists, arent the fundamental rawest feelings of human beings acceptible and appropriate regardless of what they are?
So I guess my question is this... I know that some people just love the high of sexual attraction, and they love the high of sexual addiction and the hedonistic pleasures that come with it...
And it sounds on the surface like a lifetime of cocaine bliss and euphoria. But it never ends that way. Why does sexual addiction end in disaster? Why isnt it the glue that holds 2 people together, or is it? Is it the glue that holds people together but we are so caught up in the idea that its bad and harmful and wrong and sans love that we have to fight against it and run away so we dont get hurt... " because its not love"
And this as well...
Why does sexual addiction usually end in the death of feelings, or some painful drama or heartbreak? Why cant humans fuction correctly when they are madly desiring someone?
What if two people who just madly desired one another, just kept having great sex happily and never stopped to bother with worrying about whether or not its an addiction and just choose to enjoy the pleasures and still love and desire each other in the morning...
And on that note, why do some men not love the woman in the morning? Why do feelings actually die? Is it the idea of the conquor or is there really something else going on? Is whats really happening is that a subconsious fear of the other person develops because of this deeply engraved conditioned idea that sex is taboo...
These are the reasons I fear dating a religious person. I feel they make sexuality black and white. Good girl bad girl syndrome.
The human brain is funny, it makes me question why our brains developed in a way to ensure that we have sexual attraction regulated and somewhat controllable in order to stay sain. Did this come from religion and ended up being an adaptive response? Apes dont seem to have these problems, well not thay they tell us anyway if they did.
This is why i love animals and their hedonism... feel. do. and love. Life really should be this simple.
