Blasphemy?

[Cleophila]

I know that literotica has certain subjects that are deemed "taboo", but allowed to have stories themed around them (e. g. incest) and others that, often rightly, are deemed unacceptable (e.g. under age), but what is the policy on stories that are potentially, or wholeheartedly, blasphemous? With us in Lent at the moment, with Easter fast approaching, what would be this site's position on a story that, for example, had Jesus more than just tempted by the sensual possibilities Satan showed him in the desert, or the Last Supper turning out to be a massive orgy? I'm really just asking this question hypothetically at the moment, but we'll see in the future...

If you wrote a story about a wife cuckolding her husband and a story about Jesus having sex, more people would probably get mad over the wife story here.

I'd be really curious if you could find a religious, especially christian, topic that would be over the top enough to cause a response. People don't seem to take a stand on faith issues

While people of other faiths have been subject of stories, mostly playing upon essentialized stereotypes, i don't think there are any stories that actually include major religious figures. It would definately be pushing the envelope a bit and see how people do respond. but as Epmd mentione - more people would probably react negatively to a cheating wife than to Jesus and Mary Magdalene hosting an orgy with peter and paul!

I like the idea!

I don't think you would have any problem with blasphemous stories. Most of the writers and readers on this site don't seem to have a hard-core religious bent!

If you do the last supper, remember what Jesus told the Apostles: "If you want to be in the picture, you have to sit on this side of the table!"

Someone wrote an erotic Nativity Scene in the Romance cat. I'd have to look it up. Giving religious and mythological figures sexuality makes them more human, and makes them more identifiable. Greek and Roman gods were highly sexualized, same can be said about one of the most repressive religions ever; Hinduism has plenty of god sex. Christians ache for Jesus and Mary M. fucking and having children, just like normal people.

i thought lit, didn't allow stories with under aged characters, i don't think i've ever come across a story with someone younger than 18


but one of the things i'd like to point out is, potentiality isn't allowed, but in the submission guidelines, for an example of the non human section, it says you can have a story involving sex with a unicorn.......Sex with a horse is banned but sex with a unicorn is A-Okay.

I'm not saying bestiality should be allowed, just pointing out a random fact.




As for blasphemy, most Christians wouldn't really care, most don't even know what the "lenten season" is, and they obviously don't care enough what Jesus thinks if they're spending their free time on this site

Lent's a Catholic deal, all the other Christians don't have to know what it is.

I'm sure Jesus would be soooo pissed that his fans are reading erotic stories about consenting adults having sex. He'd absolutely hate that his fans masturbate, he'll send 'em str8 to hell!

We know a song about Blasphemy don't we kids.

all together now...

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours,
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour

I think you will find that the Anglican communion are quite keen on it as well.

Jesus & Mary Chain - Gangbang at the Last Supper.

Thanks for that. It's interesting to see that these stories do exist. That was quite a decent story, I liked all the biblical references in it, clearly written by somebody who knows a little what they were talking about. However, it was written as a silly parody story, it's obviously supposed to be satirical rather than sexy, which maybe makes it less potentially offensive. If you wrote a story about Jesus that found him genuinely erotic, then some people might find that worse.

Interestingly, with this story the author obviously is not wholly confident that it won't cause offense, his note at the end says: "Don't know why I even allow voting on it. I know it won't help my ego. Do I even need to request feedback?" With the feedback on the story, there are three really positive comments and one calling it sick, which goes to show that at least some literotica readers are offended by blasphemous material (although not as many as might take umbrage with other types of story on this site).

Equally, this story is quite a conventional sexual fantasy scenario (even the potentially taboo incest angle isn't really explored), it's a bunch of guys (who happen to be Jesus and apostles) gangbanging the local hot slut (Mary Magdalene). As people have mentioned, the idea of Mary Magdalene being a part of a sex story seems to be a fairly obvious one and this doesn't really act as anything especially subversive. Would people find it more offensive if it was the Last Supper as a gay orgy? If Jesus was the submissive partner?

As you feel that people are more offended by a cuckolded husband than a religious prophet having sex, would a combination of the two make the blasphemous story more offensive (Muhammad had 13 wives after all, plenty of extra-marital possibilities for them). Also, would people be more offended if it was a non-Christian figure like Muhammad or less so?

I kind of thought up this question at the moment because the story that I am currently writing (see my signature) draws on classical mythology. I had no second thoughts about portraying the classical pantheon as highly sexualised beings, that's what they always were in the legends of that time, and nobody actually believes in Venus and Mars anyway. However, this is not the case with a figure like Jesus whose purity is a part of the way he is represented and something still cherished by millions of people. Therefore I feel there is a big difference between stories that sexualise classical mythological figures and current religious prophets. There's an obvious difference even between the Old Testament stories (lots of sex of all kinds there - Solomon and Bathsheba is clearly written to be quite sensual) and the New Testament ones.

The problem with the New Testy is it's predominantly about one person. Still, the mythologization of Jesus is occurring, the process by which people make their gods more and more like them, and therefore less and less God. It's really a natural thing, people want to understand their gods better, so they make them more and more like them until you get a situation where Zeus is a zany sex maniac while Yahweh goes from spiteful genocidal maniac to the kind and gentle Son of Man, Healer/Exorcist. What do you want to do with Jesus though? Make him a normal person or a cult leader with a harem?

Just because they don't participate in Lent, it doesn't keep them from partying on Mardi Gras.

Personnaly, I think I would stay away from any story dealing with Mohammed. The last guy that wrote a story about him still has a price on his head!

Not available on Literotica, I grant you, but try The Man Who Died published in 1931 by D.H.Lawrence.

Isn't that the one that's usually called "The Escaped Cock"? A much more puerilely entertaining title. I think you only need to see that name change to see that obviously that was a controversial and offensive story.

People get so hung up on religion! A little erotic blasphemy can go a long ways toward putting smiles on those serious religious faces.

I did a blasphemous story: The Sacrament of Holy Incest

That was my first story I posted here, so it was a little silly. It made some people really super mad. I know because they sent me very bad messages about how I don't know anything about their religion and how I'm going to go to Hell and such.

But, it was my first story and I still like it. Hope u do too.
