Can a religious man be a dirty-minded sex addict? The evidence is so ample, I’m surprised to hear that it’s a question.
The question is fraught with traps, though. What a secular sort might consider “dirty-minded” will differ from what a believer considers dirty, and the religions themselves each certainly disapprove of different flavours of sex.
A secular humanist may well consider bigamy immoral; a Mormon may consider monogamous premarital sex the same. The dozens of virgins waiting in heaven for Islamic martyrs sounds pretty kinky to me, but to some Muslim faithful the relatively vanilla sex I had with my husband last night is the height of perversion. A Hasidic man might force his wife to satisfy his sex addiction many times a day, with impunity, as long as a sheet separates most bits of their bodies; does the same man consider an Episcopalian vicar who caresses his wife’s breast in a single act of love a “dirty-minded sex addict”? Protestants once used the size of Catholic families to shame them as sex addicts: the Catholics saw such fecundity as a blessing.
Since different religions define what is “dirty” differently, and almost all reserve the right to be the ultimate arbiter of sexual morals, the question ends up muddled. Everything’s dirty to someone. Vive la difference!
