Hmm. I was looking at a thread in Philosophy where people were talking about their belief systems... And I got to thinking. Granted, I did not run a statistic on this, but it seems to me that a lot of the people who said they did not believe in God, any supreme being at all, or had an alternate perspective, were also the people who seem to have - based on discussions in this forum - quite wild sex. Yes, I realize that this topic can go the wrong way really fast, but bear with me for a sec... Do you think our spiritual/religious beliefs play a part in how we experience our sexual, uh, encounters? Theoretically, that's BS of course - and to claim otherwise would be to put people in stereotypes. But... While I have not had a relationship with a deeply religious person, someone else here probably has, and I am interested to hear as to whether they were more inhibited in the bedroom or about public displays of affection than the average not-so-deeply-into-God person.

I apologize if someone with a deep faith in a religion such as Christianity or Catholism finds this offensive. That is not my intention, but it is hard to ask such a question without getting close to certain lines.
