An exploration of sexual best-practices based on a fractal understanding of the universe and pursuit of long-term happiness and well-being is forthcoming.
"I believe in using words, not fists. I believe in my outrage knowing people are living in boxes on the street. I believe in honesty. I believe in a good time. I believe in good food. I believe in sex." -Bertrand Russell
There is a long history of horny philosophy. [1][2][3]
"Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way." -David Lynch
Somehow, sex is more taboo in the movies than violence, at least in the more puritanical cultures. This is a contrarian inversion of human values.
"I'm a heroine addict. I need to have sex with women who have saved someone's life." -Mitch Hedberg
Sex is pretty funny, too!
Sex, God, and the Brain
Andrew Newberg's book Sex, God, and the Brain is an excellent exploration of the connections between sex, god, religion, evolution, ritual, love, music, and how it all works inside the brain. It takes the compatibilist approach to science and religion advocated on this wiki and does a great job of depicting the sacred and spiritual aspects of sex that connect us to our shared humanity.
Don't Date Robots
The hilarious public service announcement from Futurama should actually be taken quite seriously. The prospect of young men abandoning the pursuit of relationships for technology that simulates it is very real and very present.
Is Purity Culture Designed to Make Sex Hotter?
You can't enjoy taboo sex without sexual taboos
Many studies have shown that sexual taboos supercharge our desire for the forbidden. [4][5] What if that is part of their intent?
"I thank God I was raised Catholic, so sex will always be dirty." -John Waters
Did our ancestors discover our psychological drive for naughty sex, realize that this drive will cause us to pursue further extremes of addiction if not constrained, and developed purity culture and sexual taboos to ensure that vanilla sex would still feel naughty enough to be satisfying?
Obviously there are many other reasons for the fact that sexual taboos are so widespread in religions. The idea that it was done to make sex more enjoyable is a theory that really gives those ancestors the benefit of the doubt.
An analysis of how obstacles increase sexual tension, and many other insights about sex, gender, fantasy, power, and taboo, can be found in this video dissertation from ContraPoints.
Making the Universe Effable

Many people are not attracted to Pantheism because they find the universe ineffable. Understanding the fractal nature of the universe significantly increases its effability, and once you see those never-ending curves you will want to get it on with science.
The Logical Syllojism
Is it possible to employ deductive reasoning to cum to the conclusion "therefore orgasm" with logic so impregnable that the natural response is triggered by the revelation? Socrates once contemplated this, but Plato forgot to write it down.
Fractal Sex
If you search for fractal sex on YouTube you get this. Apparently the first one was the inspiration for the original iPod commercials.
Music About Sex
Some say all music is about sex. Others say only 90% of it is. We can be sure about these songs.
