    How about something that is NOT a joke. If you are a Catholic you only have sex when you are married. You only have sex to recreate. You never have sex that does not end with the man injecting his sperm into his wife’s vagina.

    So what this means is any type of contraception is forbidden. Forget anal sex. Forget blow jobs and swallowing. Forget your wife is really not into it but willing to give you a quick suck and finish you off by hand.

    There are many who say they are Catholics but I have no idea how many actually follow these rules. But they are the rules and as absurd as they sound the clergy still defend them.

      I spent 20 years as a Catholic, and I never met one who cared about any of the rules. It’s just a hobby for them.

      By their early 20s, some 79% of never-married women—and 89% of never-married Catholic women—have had sex
