Any god should ask only that you provide moral acts in exchange for courage and wisdom. Any god that demands submission and obedience, is not a god but the devil.

DIFFERENCES IN SEXUALITY AND THE SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES
(important)
Male sexuality differs from female sexuality (which is ‘mental’) in that it is physical… a need … that increases in intensity with the degree of testosterone (in both sexes by the way).
Women cannot grasp this whatsoever. In general, women can’t empathize except in social matters. I tell women to compare how a male feels about sex to a MUCH stronger version of the moodiness or ‘cranky-ness’ they feel during their PMS – except it’s ten times more aggressive, and it returns ‘returns’ gradually within three to seven days after the last time they had sex. In other words, men tend to ‘cycle’ about two to four times as fast as women do. And that men have no more control over that impulse than women do over their PMS impulses.
This explanation tends to help women understand it. We are both victims of those cycles. But we feel attraction very differently. Women cycle slower, and men faster. Men physically and women mentally. Men visually and women experientially. It’s not very complicated.
So a male with reasonably high testosterone but who, for genetic, psychological, intellectual, cultural, personal, or age reasons is unable to gain access to sex, will seek outlets for this ‘anger’ – and will be a happier and more peaceful person because of it.
I usually suggest that between low cost protein, msg-saturated foods, video games, and pornography, it appears that we can explain the decline in violence, crime, and particularly sex crimes over the past three decades. Adding ‘robotic sex’ will only increase this effect. (BTW: anti-depressants can solve this problem for men as well, while physical exercise may increase it.)
Single men unable to obtain sex are very dangerous between 15-25 in the white population, and 13-29 in the black population. They impose DIRECT costs on the society by their frustration and aggression.
Single women under 25 without children are just as dangerous, but INDIRECTLY dangerous – their ‘crimes’ are those that impose costs on society by externality rather than directly.
And this is the problem with our education system providing very little value after 6th grade, the extension of childhood rather than incremental participation in the economy, and the reduction of marriage because of extended childhood.

ADVICE AND EXCHANGE, OR LAW AND COMMAND?
–“How are you differentiating between myth and religion?”–Jerrick Harald
Whether it consists of wisdom (optional advice) or law (obey command).
A god that you pray to for advice in exchange for behavior, is different from a god you submit to in exchange for behavior.
