Gods are Sexy

[Goosebump]

Only met PhiloTech today and can see this thread is right up his ally. While it bares some value, why do we sexualize gods? Isn't sexually desirability culturally dependent?

Simple, human beings give their gods all the things they have themselves. It is self projection of the desired self.
In Hindu epics the devas and devis are given a more fruitful sex life than any human could possible have. Muhammad is depicted as having inhumane potency as well I may add.

Historically hasn't sexual desirability been independent of gods, for the most part? What is sexual, or taboo has been of cultural significance. Not dependent on a godly ideal.

This is such an obvious example of "sex sells" I fell stupid pointing it out.

You are right since it is the other way around. Sexuality is projected on gods because of humans beings creating these gods. Every taboo and custom is retained in the myths and stories of the gods. But online porn and social networking has replaced that.

Sex always sells unless you are like me and find sex not in the slightest bit desirable.

So while you would admit that sexuality is or rather sexual desirability is defined culturally but you yourself have no sexual appetites? Or rather have I fallen to a but of a joke I don't understand? I suspect the latter. I suspect i should be the object of many as time passes.
