Carlson and sex in one story? Gack!


Why Are Christians Having Better Sex Than the Rest of Us?

by Tucker Carlson



A Texas pastor has come up with one of the best public policy proposals of the decade: have more sex.

Let’s concede right up front that you hate evangelicals. Most affluent, educated people do. Where I live, they're the most unpopular group there is. How do I know this? Because of the reaction to a story that ran in yesterday’s New York Times.

Earlier this month, the Rev. Ed Young, a 47-year-old megachurch pastor in Texas, urged his married congregants to have sex as much as possible with their spouses, if possible, every day for a week. Sex improves marriage, Young argued. God wants you to have more of it. “If you've said, ‘I do,’ do it,” he told the Times.

The piece quickly became the newspaper’s most emailed story of the day, sent mostly, I suspect, by readers in New York, Washington and L.A. to their friends along with notes mocking Ed Young and his parishioners. That’s how I first saw the story. “This will be good for them,” the email read. “It’s hard to spend too much time engaged in meth-fueled sodomy with your boyfriend when you've got a nightly copulation meeting with your wife.” (A reference to Colorado pastor Ted Haggard, who confessed to such activity after being busted by a male prostitute.)

The devout are actually having better sex than the rest of us.

Even a friend of mine who’s sympathetic to Christianity was skeptical of the idea: “I'm of two minds on it. If you can convince a good Christian girl that she's serving God by having sex with you, it's hard to argue with that logic. However, is it good sex, or sanctified sex? I love Jesus, I love rock and roll, but I don't like Christian rock. Some things are better left separate.”

1. "nightly copulation meeting"? Someone needs to tell Tucker that quantity =/= quality.

Just what I want, "a nightly copulation meeting"!!! :puke:

[babylonsister]

4. I had to laugh at that!

Me, too, especially after 26 years of marriage. Less is more sometimes. ;)

[patrice]

6. You know what, Tucker? That's pretty darned dis-respectful of Women AND Men!!!

[mrcheerful]

2. Yeah right what passes as sex for christians isn't sex, its more

like duty. Lights off, get it up, get it in, get off, go to sleep, takes 33 1/2 seconds.

[youthere]

14. only if they have foreplay..

"Darling...let us pray...........................................
.................................................................

Amen. Now, close your eyes and brace yourself"

[YOY]

3. So...how did Tucker the Rat Fucker come to this conclusion?

Did he actaully do any (oh god...keep the vomit down...) research.

'Cause my monogamous agnostic sex life is pretty damn good.

[onehandle]

5. He just wants to make more megachurch congregants.

This is about adding to their financial base with new babies.

A good sexual relationship is good for a marriage. That's true. But just "doing it" is not sexual communication. It's just fucking.

[pipi_k]

18. That was pretty much my reaction too

"nightly sex challenge"....

They think it's going to "bring them closer" and open up lines of communication. Like that's ALL it's going to take because "sex is paramount in a marriage"

Bullshit.

Double bullshit.

People can fuck their brains out and still hate each other.


If they can find time to have sex, they would probably better spend that time talking with each other.

Communication...verbal communication...love, compassion, understanding, friendship....those are the most important things in a marriage.

[awoke_in_2003]

19. "People can fuck their brains out and still hate each other."

Oh, you've met my ex?

7. Let's concede right up front that Tucker Carlson hates educated people.

I mean, if he can make a blanket statement about "affluent, educated people", then why not a specific statement about a specific person, with the evidence right in the article?

He bases it on the "reaction" to a NYTimes story ... by what, a bunch of anonymous people who don't have to identify themselves to make their "voices" heard? Gee, he should really get over to FreaktardRepublicans ...

and here I thought that, according to Republicans, liberals can't be affluent because they don't work. Educated = Liberal = welfare queen = Affluent??? The math doesn't work.

8. Oh good! more babies to be beaten to death by trailer park trash!

:sarcasm:

9. Tucker Carlson

A man with a brilliant future behind him. What he lacks in talent he makes up for with lack of insight. Hack adj,5: A person who works soley for mercenary reasons; esp: a writer who works soley for commercial success (see Tucker Carlson)

If his penis was a big as his ego he could be a porn star but as it is most of what he know about sex he probably learned with his own two hands.

[dccrossman]

10. Please...

Pagans definitely have the best sex. =)

Only slightly more seriously, perhaps if they're having more sex they'll become a little more mellow.

[Phred42]

11. CHristians will do ANYTHING to get your money

[FSogol]

12. Poor Tucker. No one will sleep with him. His editorial is a cry for help. n/t

[youthere]

13. Boy, I bet there's nothing that gets a guy hotter than knowing his wife is doing her "Christian"duty

Yikes. I got news for Tucker. Me and my man will give any evangelical a run for their money.

[RedLetterRev]

17. What really torques the wackogelicals

is me and my man already have. Even after 13 years the "new" hasn't worn off. And that's all I'll say :woohoo:

[Tutankhamun]

15. Since evangelicals aren't supposed to have sex before

marriage and aren't supposed to marry repeatedly, they're directed to be serial monogamists. As such, they're bound to feel sexually crippled and consequently insecure.

This newfound sexual bluster that claims evangelicals have enviable sex lives is just an attempt to compensate. They're trying to turn the shackles of sexual servitude into sexy bling.

[Mrs. Overall]

16. My fundie family members have great sex cuz they are screwing around with their neighbors.

Every Christian fundamentalist, male or female, in my family has had numerous affairs and divorces.

[Tutankhamun]

20. That's all the more reason to convince the masses that

those shackles are bling. If a lifetime of monogamy can be dressed up as somehow the ultimate turn-on the need for sexual sinning is eliminated.

21. And if she says NO, WHY WOULD THAT STOP YOU?!
