As someone who's spent the last three months researching the religious right of this country, I was a bit surprised by this. I mean, I just sort of figured that Devout Christians were more you know, but than I thought of Sarah and Bristol Palin, and I thought, well, who knows? Of course, than you get to the bottom of the article, and it all makes sense again... the idea is to copulate often so that your husband won't cheat on you!!! Now I get it! Now this is the traditional gender role oriented nature of the religious right that I am used to.
So, while I found the article interesting, annoying, but a good read, I was seriously DISTURBED by Tucker Carlson's response to it in today's Daily Beast: http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2008-11-25/the-christian-sexual-awakening/

Ah, Tucker. You are so quick to blame Liberals for everything. Of course we mock the Evangelicals. I don't ask Phyllis Schlafly and Jerry Falwell to say the ridiculous crap they say. And, I'm sorry, this freaky pastor's speech is mockable. Tucker's third to last paragraph is particularly icky and so not worthy to quote in my blog directly. It's icky because Tucker is supposed to be a campaign correspondent (whatever that means), NOT a sex therapist. He's not writing anything ground-breaking here either. So glad that guy and his bow-tie get fired on a yearly basis.
Some of the more amusing reader comments to Tucker's article:
- funkychicken
Sex is good? Wow, this groundbreaking! Once again Tucker and the Repubs are way ahead of the cultural-curve. Yeah. - muddog
As usual Tucker "White Lie's" his way......Christians have better sex, NOT!!!. They may have more unprotected sex, I.E. higher birth rate but that does not mean they enjoy it. I live in RURAL Oregon and I read the NYT's, so save the usual LA / NY are the only people reading it BS.Having some creepy Evageleical tell his "Flock" to have more sex is beyound SICK, can you imagine sitting in the pew's next to some "Conservative" as the preacher talks about sex!!?? LOL!!!!Sorry Tucker, you will need more than this to make the Evangelicals more, um should we say, Hip / Human / Real / Warm blooded. - bitter-bierce
Tucker, if you feel the need to write crap like this, I think there's a vacancy on the Thomas Road Baptist Church newsletter (read Falwell) - statusquomustgo
I really don't give a crap about Christian sex Tucker you really have DISINTIGRATED into the low of the low - AND MY PERSONAL FAVE, which Fuffa will particularly enjoy: barky2
we can see how the unprotected sex worked so well with the palin children.
Thoughts on Tucker and the Creepy Crazy Pastor?
