It seems that all religions have something to say about sex. The Torah tells with whom and when not to have sex. Other religions have integrated their beliefs into law and therefore one can be killed for their sexual encounters. Some suggest that religions attempt to prohibit sexual practices has to do with a focus on the mind instead of the body while others suggest its a form of control or fear. This is why Sigmund Freud said that civilization is so discontent. The thing that is so natural to us(sex and love), has become restricted in society.

The Unnatural History of Sex Series delivers once again a history of sex and this time it examines religion and sex. Its a pretty intriguing episode. It makes you wonder more and more about why these bodies make people so afraid. From a libertarian perspective, it also makes me want to declare to all to just leave our bodies alone. They have nothing to do with others and only do to with ourselves. Oh, and that sex is good. Period.
