This video, and the premis therein, does not reflect the OP's opinion.

I know that mate, which is why I thought I would share another perspective. I have long studied the methods, doctrines, dynamics and psychology pertaining to groups that would be considered by many to be "mind control" groups (cults).

The subject itself is worthy of discussion. Whether the doctrines and groups that promote such things are always as worthy, being another matter entirely.

Though again, I make no claims to any specific group being a cult, just that it's worth being cautious.

According to their warped teachings, it is still possible to procreate. Even without orgasm, a certain amount of sperm can still be released, though not in the same quantity. As it only takes one good little swimmer...

That's not actually true...studies have shown that pre-ejaculate does not contain sperm. The only way it does is if you DO ejaculate and then have sex again without urinating...because some of the sperm from the previous time is left in the tubes. So I don't see how they can possibly not be hypocritical. Unless of course science is wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

Fair enough.

I don't say you are wrong, yet that is what the group who made this video believe. Then again, they seem to believe a lot of things...

Pay attention to whom you share your intimate energy with. Intimacy at this level intertwines your aural energy with the aural energy of the other person. These powerful connections, regardless of how insignificant you think they are, leave spiritual debris, particularly within people who do not practice any type of cleansing, physical, emotional or otherwise. The more you interact intimately with someone, the deeper the connection and the more of their aura is intertwined with yours.
Imagine the confused aura of someone who sleeps with multiple people and carries around these multiple energies? What they may not realize is that others can feel that energy which can repel positive energy and attract negative energy into your life.

I always say, never sleep with someone you wouldn't want to be. ~Lisa Chase Patterson

"Christianity" never said that sex is a bad thing, I would openly challenge you to successfully prove that.

On the other hand, it would not be dishonest to say that Christianity teaches that immoral sex (sex which serves to satisfy one's personal pleasure at the expense of other human dignity) is a bad thing. And I think that's a tough thing to refute. Care to try?

Don't care to try at all...
I agree wholeheartedly.

My contention isn't that Christianity itself denigrates sex... but that those who call themselves Christians have. In fact, entire sects have sprung out of the fact that the flesh has been considered to be evil and something to be reviled (and by that, I mean flesh in the physical sense rather than the broader, spiritual and allegorical sense)... which has led to asceticism, self-flagellation and all kinds of other non-biblical practices.

Personally I think the Bible has a healthy view on sex.
