I am engaging those natural urges and even if we take risk out of the equation, there are too many factors as to why engaging in carnal pleasures is not good. Psychological/emotional attachment. I am under the impression Satanist have some sort of sexual ritualistic orgies not sure if that is true but I am welcomed to be corrected. Take for a moment that I engage in these acts and I develop an affinity of having sex more often (I took out addiction on purpose) isn't this problematic? I am looking at the psychological aspects of engaging in those kinds of sexual pleasures as inherently dangerous.
If you have literature that can point me to the right direction I am open
you claimed to have read LaVey's stuff, but you obviously then have only read a tiny bit. First of all, it's not just about sexual henonism in LaVeyan Satanism if you could realize that. It's about whatever brings you happiness and joy. The Satanic Bible says many times "physical, emotional, or mental gratification", which covers pretty much ******* anything under the sun. Not just sex, but food, poetry, music, science, ect ect.
Also he addressed orgies in The Satanic Bible as well, another part you did not read. Also I seriously think you misunderstand psychology and your objections were likewise refuted in The Satanic Bible as well.
Though I do agree with a good bit of the following, I am not a LaVeyan and do not accept The Satanic Bible as something that stands for my beliefs.
The Satanic Bible
(Anton LaVey, 1969)
The Book of Lucifer
Satanic Sex
"MUCH controversy has arisen over the Satanic views on "free love". It is often
assumed that sexual activity is the most important factor of the Satanic religion, and
that willingness to participate in sex-orgies is a prerequisite for becoming a Satanist.
Nothing could be farther from the truth! In fact, opportunists who have no deeper
interest in Satanism than merely the sexual aspects are emphatically discouraged.
Satanism does advocate sexual freedom, but only in the true sense of the word. Free
love, in the Satanic concept, means exactly that - freedom to either be faithful to one
person or to indulge your sexual desires with as many others as you feel is necessary to satisfy your particular needs."
...
"Another misconception is the idea that ability to engage in group sexual activity is the indicative of sexual freedom."
...
"The Satanist realizes that if he is to be a sexual connoiseur (and truly free from all sexual guilt) he cannot be stifled by the so-called sexual revolutionists any more than he can by the prudery of his guilt-ridden society. These free-sex clubs miss the whole point of sexual freedom. Unless sexual activity can be expressed on an individual basis (which includes personal fetishes), there is absolutely no purpose in belonging to a sexual freedom organization. Satanism condones any type of sexual activity which properly satisfies your individual desires - be it heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or even asexual, if you choose. Satanism also sanctions any fetish or deviation which will enhance your sex-life, so long as it involves no one who does not wish to be involved."
The Book of Lucifer
Induglence... Not Compulsion"SATANISM encourages its followers to indulge in their natural desires. Only by doing so can you be a completely satisfied person with no frustrations which can be harmful to yourself and others around you. Therefore, the most simplified description of the Satanic belief is:
INDULGENCE INSTEAD OF ABSTINENCE
People often mistake compulsion for indulgence, but there is a world of difference between the two. A compulsion is never created by indulging, but by not being able to indulge. By making something taboo, it only serves to intensify the desire. Everyone likes to do the things they have been told not to. "Forbidden fruits are sweetest.""
...
"It has been clearly established that the majority of all illnesses are of a psychosomatic nature, and that psychosomatic illnesses are a direct result of frustration. It has been said that "the good die young". The good, by Christian standards, do die young. It is the frustration of our natural instincts which leads to the deterioration of our minds and bodies."
...
"The true Satanist is not mastered by sex any more than he is mastered by any of his other desires. As with all other pleasurable things, the Satanist is master of, rather than mastered by sex. He is not the perverted fiend who is just waiting for the opportunity to deflower every young virgin, nor is he the skulking degenerate who furtively hangs around in the "dirty" bookstores, slavering over the "nasty" pictures. If pornography fills his needs for the moment, he unashamedly buys some "choice items" and guiltlessly peruses them at his leisure."
...
"The watchword of Satanism is INDULGENCE instead of "abstinence" . . . BUT - it is not compulsion."
The Nine Satanic Statements
1. Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence!
...
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or
emotional gratification!
