    It’s really sad to see what Donald has done to people’s brains. Enjoying good sex with one’s wife is now checks notes gay, and raping children on an island is checks notes Ephebophilia.

      This isn’t Trump. This is standard conservative brainworms going back to the Limbaugh Era and before. Just textbook Protestant-flavored Homophobic Misogyny. Dig through James Dobson’s prodigious backlog of public brainfarts or poke around in the Joe Pyne archives, you’ll find similar sentiments and commentary.

      Anything that gives a person undeserved pleasure is sinful. And the Protestant Work Ethic teaches us that only productive economy-stimulating labor is a worthwhile pursuit. Sex is a job, not a hobby. You do it to make the babies, not to experience any kind of corporeal pleasure.

      That falls under the “Very Rich Guy’s Addendum” to the Protestant Work Ethic. If you’re rich, it proves you worked harder than everyone else and none of the working class rules apply.

        There have been a number of religious secs that believed pleasure during sex was sinful. The Shakers forbade sex altogether, thus, no more Shakers. Others accepted that sex was necessary but tried to come up with methods to remove or decrease the pleasure. A blanket strung down the middle of the bed with a hole in it.

          Ever heard of Mormons “soaking?” LOL:

          “According to Men’s Health, soaking is when a man puts his penis inside of a female partner’s vagina. They then lay in the bed and have someone else shake the bed to cause movement”

          They think of it as a loophole to get around the whole “no sex before marriage” thing.


          I learned about the Shakers and Quakers back in elementary school but can’t remember much about them. I didn’t know they were celibate. So I looked into it and there are only 3 left in the U.S.

          A new person has joined the last active Shaker community in the U.S, bringing the Christian, communal, and celibate group to a total of three. They once numbered in the thousands.

          Interesting. Thank for showing me a rabbit hole to dive down.

      I hate to play the devil’s advocate here, especially since I believe all MAGAs are douchebags, but Luke Moody’s stupid statement could also be interpreted a different way, like maybe he meant that he impregnates his wife every time he gives her an orgasm. So, like, once a year, tops.

        people who care about the difference between ephebophilia and pedophilia are the kind of people who deserve being called pedos.
