On the issue of what is sexually moral and its relation to what is natural, what is similar in the views of the Bible and Sade and what is different?

Answer 1

Both the Bible and Sade believe that sex is natural and that the woman was created for the sake of the man. The man and the woman are morally allowed to copulate hence satisfying each other and having children.

However, the Bible condemns some forms of sexual acts like prostitution, homosexuality, lesbianism, incest and many others, Sade argues that since sex is natural, people should be allowed to have sex anywhere. He also argued that human beings have the freedom to perform any form of sex.

Another difference between the bible approach to the sexual act and Sade's sexual approach is that the Bible only allow sex between the two couples who are married. On the other hand, Sade argues that since sex is meant for gratification, people should be allowed to have sex with anyone and anything they feel they what to have sex with.
