Christian Right-Wingers Love Porn: New Studies Suggest the Bible Belt Has A Kinky Side
They preach abstinence and shame the adult industry, but findings conclude that the more Christian and conservative you are, the more youre into porn.
Do conservatives watch more porn than their liberal counterparts? Perhaps.
A quick Google search for political sex scandals will lead you to pages of naughtiness, Republican and Democratic alike. Human sexuality exists outside of party lines. Whether youre conservative or liberal, chances are you have sex.
A new study published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, produced by researchers from Canadian Universities, found American states that identify as more religious and conservative are also more apt to search for sex online. Of course, the study makes a point of separating the religiously conservative from the politically conservative. The latter is more likely to look for sex specific terms, such as gay sex, free porn and xxx, whereas those that consider themselves religious were looking for generalized sex terms that couldve theoretically fallen under the health and wellness category.
In heavily religious states, abstinence is often pushed as the only safe sex, with very little to offer in the way of sexual education. Unfortunately, that leaves a growing number of people with questions about sex but no answers. Enter Google: the best way to find an answer to personal, possibly embarrassing questions without calling attention to yourself. So of course the study finds that religious communities have a higher percentage of sex-related searches. Thats what happens when you cant find it elsewhere.

What a crock of BS.
Copied and pasted in bold below from one of many sites about these loonies. And, based on the pictures of these folks, no thanks, even if I wanted to do this.
Christian bodybuilders find Biblical justification for swinging
Well, this just goes to show that literally anything, including wife-swapping, can be justified by the Bible. We learn via reader Barry from an article in yesterdays HuffPo that a new Christian swingers group, one aimed at bodybuilders (!) has arisen. And of course because theyre Christians, and having sex with a bunch of other people besides your spouse seems distinctly un-Christian, theyre forced to justify it by citing scripture. The justification goes beyond, Well, the Bible doesn'tt say anything against it (of course the phenomenon of swinging didnt really exist among the Israelites), and into the ground that its actually something that God wants. Its Gods plan. After all, as Dean says in the video below, its a way of spreading Gods word among swingers. (Thats not the only thing it spreads!)
Frankly, I dont care who does what to where, or when, so long as theyre all consenting adults and nobody gets hurt. But its funny to see how Christians have to rationalize it. Heres an excerpt from HuffPo, but the video below it is a real gem.
If you like Jesus, pumping iron and pumping/getting pumped by acquaintances bound by holy matrimony, theres a website just for you.
Its called Fitness Swingers, and its the brainchild of Cristy Parave and her husband, Dean, who dreamed up the site after reportedly having a threesome with this wife and her female friend. Apparently, the sex was just heavenly.
The Florida couple, who met at a bodybuilding competition, are interested in sharing their beliefs and their spouses with others who feel similarly. They started their online network 7 years ago, and havent looked back. The pillars of their relationship: A commitment to their faith, to fitness, and to the ideals of the swinger lifestyle.
Dean Parave told Barcroft Media that he doesnt think that his swinger lifestyle conflicts with his Christian beliefs. In fact, he considers it a kind of ministry.
So far today, God hasnt told me, Dean stop that, its a sin. I dont want you to do that. Until he does that, Im going to keep trying to help as many people as I can, he told Barcroft.
Christy said she needed a little convincing that it was moral at first, but now shes totally convinced that god is on their side.
God put people on the Earth to breed and enjoy each other, she told Barcroft. I feel God is always with me and he has put us here for a reason.
Count how many times in this hilarious video you see Gods will used simply as an excuse for people to make the beast with two backs:
I wonder ifin the same manner Obama characterizes ISISother horrified Christians would say that these arent real Christians.

(8,756 posts)... a survey of the billboards along the highway confirms the bible belt's kinky side.
The vast majority of the billboards on I75 (at the FL/GA border) were concerned with "massage" parlors or adult stores, guns and abortion or Christian front groups in that order. This went on for miles and miles towards Orlando.

And of course closeted gay preachers are notorious for this sort of thing.

(58,656 posts)mid to late 90's, we had a customer installation in Memphis, and I was called on to visit the city several times for several days at a stretch. While I didn't partake of either, there were plenty of churches and "gentlemen's" clubs in existence.
I don't need a study.
