"Atheists Do It Better" and have more fun

[Draka]

Seems pretty ridiculous to me as it implies that all religions have some sort of guilt or taboo attached to sex. Many don't. In fact, some religions consider sex to be a great thing. A free act of love and pleasure. What of those religions?

Draka my point exactly. Besides to what opinion on which religions does this study suggest? Christian? Jewish? Sikh? Wiccan? Religious people love sex too. If they need to spice it up, watch porn.

Well self report in psychology refers to participant subjects "reporting" their opinions versus testing their opinions. Make a little sense? A likert (not likard) scale is a psychometric scale that is basically used in questionnaires (e.g. From 1 to 5, 5 being the most how much do you like cheese?) Self report is more based on subject opinion than an actual objective study.

Yes that makes sense, thanks.

This research study means squat to what actually is real. Some of the best sexual experiences came from religious women (Muslim, Jewish, etc) and the worse was a chick that claimed to be buddhist and claimed "God is dead."

Not saying my own experiences refute the study but the study is not representative of truth.

I agree, i don't find this study to be an accurate representative of how people supposedly feel about sex in general or how much they enjoy it.

A single study is by no means conclusive. Thus, we as yet do not know who has the best sex. But I, for one, am willing to form a research group to pursue this matter to the hilt. We must find out! Even if it takes years!

Although it's not a large sample size, the religious people that I've seen that dislike sex or are guilty by it, including some ascetics, seem to talk about it mostly in the physical sense. Many of them seem to reference it as a quick physical thing, but few talk of it as a deep emotional connection accompanied by mutual physical pleasure, and I suspect that this influences their view. When I see or hear such things, I kind of think, "well, you're doing it wrong."

I find none of this surprising, but the following made me chuckle:

"non-believers give significantly better sex education to their kids than believers do."
​

Just the facts. You don't have to throw spiritual cleanliness into it.

Also, can you blame them for feeling awkward when they believe there's someone in the sky watching them? >_>

Lol, so do some catholics here only have sex in rooms where "the last supper", "jesus", "mary" pics aren't displayed?
I can remember vividly a girlfriend I had who could not even kiss passionately in the same room where a Mary statue was in the house. Yet having sex was no problem in my bedroom.
