Catholics have more extreme sex lives because they're taught that pleasure is bad for you. Who thinks it's normal to kneel down to a naked man who's nailed to a cross? It's like a bad leather bar.

About This Quote

The religious nature of Catholicism was brought into question in this quote. The idea that religion is the cause of bad behavior has been around for centuries. The idea that religion is the source of sexual repression has been expressed by many, including Thomas Aquinas. The notion that people are having more extreme sex lives because they are told to do so was not new information at all. However, it is true that religion does impact our sexuality in the same way it impacts every aspect of life.
