Atheists have better sex

[Dee Dee Ramone]

I've also come across articles and studies which show that religious people have a higher fertility rate than the non-religious, though it sometimes varies from country to country.

If you had written atheists have less children, I'd say...probably yes.

But as posted above, higher fertility?

[Something completely different]

Might not be entirely true. Many religions have dogmas that can cause a lot of problems with their followers sex lives. I mean, what do you think it's like being gay and coming from a religion that tells you being gay is a sin? Or even if you're straight but you like to engage in sexual activities that the church looks down on? Like Catholics who use birth control?

I was a vegitarian for 3 years of my life and a vegan for 1. One of the arguments I always gave for it when this form of diet was questioned was:

"Vegitarians and Vegans have better sexlifes."

And everyone who ever experiemented with food and sex, or knows what impact a diet can have on a sexlife knows that this is simply true.
A low fat and low sugar diet, provides the body with the energy needed to engage in physical activity. Other than that it doesn`t make one stuff oneself up untill one feels full. Everyone who ever gave it a thought knows that the last thing to do when about to have sex or at least planing to do so, is to stuff your face with curry chicken.

A little salad, some avocado on a bit of bread (not white bread), dark chocolate with vanila flavor, Celery, red wine, Ginger and other light stuff which are low fat and "spicy" are just the right thing.

But can I conclude out of this that vegitarians and vegans generaly have a better sexlife? Or even argue that it is a reason for being a vegitarian?

I do know that in alot of religions there is a very strickt dogma on sex.
But do you really think, for example, that from the 2 billion members of the catholic church, every single one of them refuses to use birth control and anal sex and a pleasure fuck?

The mormons are a cult who shield themselves of from the outside world and closely survail the behavior of it`s members. So yes it is very likely that in a religion in which ones personal decisions are undermined by the organisation a good sexlife is probably less likely to evolve.

But out of such surveis I cannot reach conclusion over something as personal and individual as a persons sexuality.

I read a statistic some years ago which concluded that people of Hungarian nationality have the most and best sex amongst all other nationalities.
Should one move to Budapest, eat gulash and learn to become a magyar?

The question might be interestin. And I sure believe that lack of sex dogma furthers a better sexlife, but I peronaly believe that sex and a persons evolving of his or her sexlife is a to individual thing to be generalised in any way and pointed out in statistics in any way.

The various influences which form a individuals sexual needs, and which make that individual live those are far to big, to pin point a way of life which specificaly shows a path to more sexual pleasure.

Do atheists have better sex?

I have no idea. The first thing that needs to be clarified, though, is - "Better" in what sense?
Quality, quantity, emotionally, physically, or what?

If people have to ask what better sex is, it kind of makes me wonder..... I am in this instance just talking about the physically and quality. Certainly not quantity, lots of bad sex does not equal good sex.

Also everybody who is giving individual examples or saying 'it depends on the individual' needs to remember we are not talking about individuals. When talking about large groups of people (in this case sample sizes of billions), it is totally irrelevant to bring up individual cases that are different. It shouldn't even have to be said.

Then it looks like I just got messed up with words again. I thought that birth rate and fertility rate were synonymous terms. But now I learned the difference ...

So you and Summer are right.

I think that is hypothetical at the moment ... but, that can certainly be true.
