How doesn’t religion forbid sex ?

[Nick_98]

I have been thinking about this question for a couple of days and it still doesn’t make any sense to me. 
In the most popular religions like christianity and Islam, you are encouraged to have sex as long as you’re married to the person that you’re having sex with.

it’s even stated in islam that you can have sex with 4 different women as long as you are married to them and providing to them equally the same share of money/assets.

it doesn’t make any sense to me that Prophet mohamed who was a religious person did have a wife and children.

now how does religion not forbid sex ? How does it encourage sex instead through marriage ? I believe a person who is very close to god would abstain from Pleasing themselves. At the end of the day what’s sex more than pleasing your own self.

i believe that a real religion would forbid sex and calls on abstaining from it permanently, that makes a lot more sense if you’re trying to be “religious”

does anybody have any explanation how and why is that ?

Because every religion that did had adherents who didn’t have sex and thus didn’t have kids and they died out.

Its literally just made up bs so that a couple people won't take all the woman and so that men can have control over their wife, ie we make a rule that you cant have sex with my wife under God.

People won't join their religion if you have to abstain from sex permanently.

The preists and nuns do it but not the normies.

 For your information The people who protect the Kaba in Saudi Arabia and devote their whole lives to taking care of the hygiene of the Kaba and Muhammed's grave must be castrated to do this role . They were like that since the first centuries of Islam. They must be castrated so that lust doesn't distract them from devoting their entire lives to serve God.  Also in the history of Christianity many saints used to castrate themselves or pick out their own eyeballs and induce blindness to themselves on purpose so that they forget about sex and women completely and devote their whole life to divinity . Also Hinduism calls the way to realize God "Brahamacharia"...this word literally translates as" the way to Brahama" or the way to God but it also means celibacy.

In the bible, sex IS considered marriage according to God. "Fornication" is NOT sex before marriage. Most churches get that wrong. Paul actually does talk a bit about this in some of his letters. 1 Corinthians 7 is a place to start. He chooses to stay unmarried which he says is a good thing but (and I'm paraphrasing) if you really want to marry, then do it. I'm also pretty sure he says in a separate letter that being married comes with certain challenges but he does not forbid it. Anyway, I'm still learning about the bible so I don't know a lot but that chapter I referenced should give some ideas for you.

Everything is Nature is sexual, thus Gods temple (nature) is a big cosmic sexual dance in itself and its something impossibly hard to suppress. They know it will happen regardless behind closed doors if they forbid it or not. The thing is, sex when done for sheer pleasure (which 99% of people do) rather than to actually "make love" and "create life" is somewhat an act of evil or satan, (so to speak) diluting away from "true love/true self" because its mostly lust not love, and yes when you feel closer to god you don't need or crave sex as much, but you still can make love to your partner and create children, that is very holy when done right and very natural. Animals make love without ego, if you can make love without ego, that's real sex and actually beneficial, healing and uniting with god/nature/all that is. Unfortunately most people struggle to master this art because it has been perverted for thousands of years from what true love and sex actually should be and feel like and done.
