The female orgasm. Why? (mystic, procreation, grace, creation, hell)

[Halcyon]

Well, the biological theory is the wonderfully titled Upsuck Hypothesis, i won't go into it.

From a religious perspective - God commanded humanity to reproduce and replenish the Earth, anything that aides that is a good thing.

My mission president described it like this:

Imagine if God had just told Adam and Eve to "Multiply and replenish the Earth." If they were like most of us, we'd say "ok, I'll get on that tomorrow", and put it off indefinatly (he compared it to Home Teaching - for all the LDS out there). Mankind would have been extinct in a few generations.

So, instead he gave them a little motivation to get things going

I was told that the moment of orgasm is like an open window to Heaven. The body quivering, skin tingling, euphoric feeling is what 'unconditional love' FEELS like. Sex is not the only time this feeling occurs, it also happens during childbirth, and other times as well. Can you imagine feeling like that all the time?

Physically speaking, the female orgasm does serve some purpose as it causes the cervix to open and close. (rapid succession, causing a slight suction therefore making it easier for the spermies to find there way)

I was taught this at a private Southern Baptist college.

It's in an unpublished document written by a Southern Baptist preacher/scholar Nat Tracy. I don't recall the title offhand - since it's unpublished you may not be able to find it readily anyway.

Either way, if we feel like that all the time it's only fair for God to also provide alcohol and cigarettes.

Women can have orgams to make sex pleasurable for them and thus making them more interested in sex. If women where NOT interested in sex we would either die out as a species or rape would be our only way to reproduce. Nighter of those options are preferable.

Males DO have a "clitoris", it's the top of the penis. Women only needs it as a "pleasure button" so they just have smaller version of it. We actually starts out rather androgynos and then develop male or female characteristics, that's why males have nipples for instance.

St. Augustine believed the "forbidden fruit" in Genesis actually referred to 'pleasurable sex', which was of the devil. He theorized God's original intention for sex was "a very cold dutiful mechanical act without passion."

So we might have the devil himself to thank for our clitorises.

Niceguy got it right. In a world without ob-gyn clinics, tubal ligations, diaphragms, or decent pain inhibitors during childbirth, what could have possibly induced women to have sex other than the threat of force?

As for the prev. poster my only conclusion would be that St. Augustine is not a female and therefore unqualified to address the subject at all.

I second that, but will add that refusing to be open to either is wrong in our eyes.

Didn't I recently read the catholic church was finally coming around to allowing contraception?

the sexual fluids of women, especially those secreted during times of orgasm can be harnessed by the man to balance the yin/yang energies. this energy can be cultivated and used to increase the bioenergy of both parties. look into taoist semen retention if you are interested in more. it is great for health and longevity.
