Kamasutra:

Father Ksawery Knotz doesn't see himself as a sexpert.

Dressed in a brown habit of the Capuchin friars, he certainly doesn't look like one. Yet, since the celibate Catholic priest started publishing his online sex guide in 2003, he has developed a healthy following of couples from all over Poland who seek his advice on matters ranging from God-approved birth control to the morality of oral sex.

"People want to read about sex," he said. "It's a good way to communicate with people."

I would ask this guy:

"What is your opinion of politicians who have hookers dress them in diapers?"

That counts as a sex-themed question, right?

I wish I hadn't been eating a bagel with mayo when I read that.

I'm not so sure. Aren't potential popes supposed to be totally mum about sex?

From the main article, a participant in the retreat speaking--I was surprised that Father said sexuality was a gift from God and that we can use sexuality for our happiness and pleasure," he said.

Father Knotz said that the issue of "sinfulness of sexuality" keeps coming up.

According to him it's rooted back in the "neurosis of the 19th century," as well as the experience of the wars and the "many cases of rape that were not spoken about." (End Quote)

Finally. Some sanity regarding this insanity.
