RCimT: Sexuality

It’s Saturday night, we all have big days ahead of us tomorrow for various reasons, and I need to trim back on my ballooning tab session, so allow me to rapid-fire-style link a bunch of stuff I have open presently. First, stuff to do with sex and sexuality. As usual, with anything intrinsic to human nature, there’s going to be some overlap with religion. I’ll try to keep it relevant though.

First up, Discover Blogs has a fascinating article about the brain and how it processes sexuality, as well as how we figured out that, like most other aspects of your body, it’s mostly brain-centric. There’s even a video! (Of the brain. Sorry to disappoint.)

Apparently Jesus isn’t a contraceptive. Who knew?

The ever-hilarious website The Gaytheist Agenda has posted a revealing video suggesting that religious crazies in Iowa are not only against gay marriage — they’re apparently also against marriage in which the couple are infertile or otherwise can’t produce more babies that are born into the faith.

Stephanie has recently pointed us all to this post at Vagina Dentata, though I’ve sadly only gotten around to actually reading this now. It’s about the feminist movement, being able to express sexuality without an implication of consent to harassment, and EA Games booth babes, among other things. Brilliant read.

In the meantime, one out of thirty-three female churchgoers are targeted for sexual harassment by their faith’s leaders. Considering how many faithful women there are, that’s a shitload of sexual advances by people that are supposed to be celibate. Celibacy works just as well as abstinence-only education, apparently.

And finally, Blag Hag covers an anti-porn event run by religious conservatives, and covers the lying-for-Jesus in great detail. She also wrote a letter to Purdue University, who hosted the event, and got nothing but a form-letter in reply.
