For the Love of Agape or Eros Without Error
A Religious Sex Shop

The monotheistic religions agree that begetting is God’s chosen method of human duplication and that the Creator made an almighty mistake. A better choice would have been clay-molding, rib-taking or zeroxing which are more hygienic, less disruptive and not impregnated with sin.

Because of God’s mistake the monotheistic religions require or at least desire their followers to be sexual novices before the consecration of marriage. They want the participants--one male, one female--to come to the union as amateurs, without apprenticeship or probationary period, and to approach the hymeneal altar as neophytes. This would seem to require thorough and reliable sex education before wedlock so that those willing to be knotted together forever might come to a fixed position in regard to those rituals required for iteration. Instead, for most religions, sexual ignorance is marital bliss.

The Hindus have the erotic temples of the Chandelas that demonstrate more positions for intercommunication than dreamt of by Hugh Heffner or Jimmy Swaggart. Christians and Jews have King David, Ruth, the Song of Solomon and Hosea. However, none of these offer guidance in honeymoon motel etiquette such as
•scheduling your one bathroom
•what to wear to your first interconnection
•proper response to incompetent audacity
•showing limitless joy rather than limited effort
•demonstrating persistence as well as purpose.

For the monotheistic religions, it is blessing then guessing. Before the yoke of matrimony there is little training in flirtation without temptation, temptation without consummation, mingling without co-mingling, becoming a couple without coupling, fondling without finding.

Two people yoked by matrimony intersect (in the geometric sense) without aphrodisiaids or carnal knowledge, both lacking mastery of the skills commonly associated with the job of sex. This is like a first-grader beginning with quantum physics. The quantum is lost in the physics. Too often such couples clap together in the superficial bungling and fruitless frittering that leads to dilettantism by wives and the treatment of conjugal duty as a hobby by husbands.

Rather than offering advanced education to hand-in-glove bondage the monotheistic religions set two artless people on the path to happily-ever-after with a map showing only the destination. They provide no directions for managed monogamy without monotony, resolute repetition without deviation, how to say no after vowing to say yes, how to intercommunicate when no longer speaking, and when a headache is not enough.

Some believers have dared challenge this barrier by reading the love poems of Elizabeth Barret Browning, studying diagrams in biology textbooks or watching cable TV. However, sex is too sacred for secular humanists and other perverts to have all the profits. Therefore, the Sons of Solomon’s Sales and the Daughters of Mary Magdalene Mercantile have combined their talents to create “For The Love Of Agape Sex Shop” to provide Agape approved accessories guaranteed to provoke spiritual as well as sensual satisfaction.

For the Love of Agape is for exclusive use by religious couples
•who desire knowledge about human intimacy before accepting the bonds of holy matrimony
•wish to approach marriage with holiness as well as heat
•wish to balance a Catholic passion for multiplication with the information necessary for successful completion of the task
•wish to restore the spiritual to sexual clinching
•wish to restore the joy of their early coupling
•wish to relight the candle under their bushel.

Love of Agape is for married couples (heterosexual couples married to each other) and those with serious intentions of getting married. Proof of engagement required for browsing; recommendation from a parent or religious professional preferred. Marriage license required for some purchases. Common law arrangements not accepted.
Remember, “If It’s Agape It’s Got To Be Good.”
