ORIGINAL: VanessaChaland Religion, in most aspects, conflicts with nearly everything sexual, other than the standard missionary position for reproduction type sex. If one wants to follow the doctrine, one is living in sin with any sort of pre-marital sex, extra-martial sex, masturbation for some, fantasy, pornography etc. Unitarian churches may have a different perception or agenda on this, I'm not totally sure. But certainly of the big 3 Monos, well, they all have the same doctrine. So for those that have a religious or spiritual belief along those lines, how do you align that with cuckolding and or other forms of kinky sex? Or do you? I always think people should consider that the core value and purpose of religion is not what many think or have been taught. Keep in mind that mere mortals, average men wrote the scriptures. The bible has been hacked up, amended, translated, altered, edited, had portions deleted thousands of times over the last couple thousand years. Man (as in mankind) being what he is, often gets things wrong, or focus's on the wrong things. If one were to look at it that the main agenda of religion (while here on earth) as being kindness, compassion, charity, altruism, benevolence, forgiveness etc, whom you sleep with is of no relevance as long as it is consensual. What happens in the afterlife is unknown, but I have always felt that the wrath of God is not going to be over sex, sexual choices or inclinations, but rather about hate, murder, apathy towards those less fortunate, rape, child abuse and crimes like that. Obviously I could be wrong, but only each individual can make the effort to separate out the reality of God and the fiction of man made religion. Right? Wrong? great post! i think if you're doing something so antithetical to your stated religion, then you're cheating with Cafe Religion, picking and choosing what you want to follow. You're not really following your own religion, you're following a reformed version of it. I agree, all organized religion is by and for imperfect men (not even women), but I won't digress cus this isn't the P&R forum. But to answer your question - "my" religion has no problem with it except when there isn't consent.
