Flirty Fishing: Doing It For God

Bacchus at ErosBlog takes a look at some of the curious sexual propaganda distributed by the Children of God, a sketchy religious organization who practiced "a modern form of temple prostitution, both to gain new adherents and to earn revenue for the organization" during the 1970s and 80s: "Given that we live in a world where popular religions are either actively hostile to sex ... or are (at best) tolerant of it, it's a bit mind-warping to find religious advertising that makes graphic use of sexual imagery. Doubtless they got a lot of attention for themselves using these seductive tactics." Also given that the sect's beliefs were tinged with more than a bit of misogyny—as well as the fact that they allegedly practiced things like ritualized child abuse and incest as part of their "worship"—it all comes off as pretty creepy, whatever mermaid fantasies we may harbor notwithstanding. When it comes to making fishing sexy, we'll just stick with our underwater beauties and women in waders from now on.
