The Bible Talks About Sex— But Not the Way Some Priests Want You to Believe

What the Bible Says About Sex (and What Some Priests Won’t Tell You)

Sex. It’s one of the most natural human experiences, yet religious institutions have shaped its meaning in ways that go beyond what the Bible actually says. If you grew up in a Catholic environment, you may have heard priests preach that sex should only be for making babies. But is that really what the Bible teaches? Or is it a tool used to control beliefs and behaviors?

What Does the Bible Actually Say About Sex?

Let’s get one thing clear: the Bible does NOT say that sex is only for procreation. In fact, it acknowledges sex as a gift, a source of pleasure, and a way to strengthen relationships.

1. Sex Is Meant to Be Enjoyed

Proverbs 5:18-19 says:
"Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth… let her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love."
That doesn’t sound like a strict baby-making directive, does it?

2. Sex Strengthens Marriages

1 Corinthians 7:3-5 tells couples to satisfy each other and not deprive one another. If sex were only about reproduction, why would the Bible emphasize mutual pleasure and fulfillment?

3. Procreation Is a Blessing, Not a Rule

Genesis 1:28 does say, "Be fruitful and multiply," but that doesn’t mean sex is ONLY for that purpose. If it did, would couples have to stop having sex once they’ve had kids? Would infertile couples be forbidden from intimacy? The logic simply doesn’t hold up.

How Some Religious Leaders Changed the Meaning of Sex

If the Bible doesn’t actually restrict sex to reproduction, why do some priests still push this idea? The answer is simple: control.

1. Growing the Church

For centuries, religious institutions have benefited from large families. More children meant more future believers, ensuring the Church remained strong and influential.

2. Controlling Personal Choices

If sex is only for making babies, then anything outside of that—contraception, same-sex relationships, or even enjoying sex too much—can be labeled as sinful.

3. Guilt as a Weapon

By making people feel guilty about their natural desires, the Church has created a system where believers feel the need to seek guidance, confession, and forgiveness—keeping them within the religious framework.

Faith Shouldn’t Be Manipulated

I’m not a believer, but I respect people who have faith. If someone truly believes in God and the Bible, they deserve to know its real message—not a version twisted for religious gain.

Sex is not just for making babies. The Bible doesn’t say that. And using religion to shame people for something natural? That’s not faith—that’s control.

Homeopathy: Science or Just a Placebo Effect?

  Homeopathy: Science or Just a Placebo Effect? Homeopathy is one of the most controversial alternative medicine practices in the world. While millions swear by its effectiveness, scientists remain skeptical, often calling it nothing more than a placebo. So, is homeopathy real, or is it just the power of belief at play? Let's dive into the facts, scientific studies, and global adoption of homeopathy. 🔬 What is Homeopathy? Homeopathy is a medical system developed in the late 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann , a German physician. It is based on two key principles: “Like Cures Like” – A substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person is believed to cure similar symptoms in a sick person. “Dilution Increases Potency” – The more a substance is diluted, the more powerful it supposedly becomes. Most homeopathic remedies are so diluted that no molecules of the original substance remain —raising serious questions about how they could have any medical effect. 🧪 What Does Science Say A...
