We’ve all heard of body worshipping, when your partner gets down on their hands and knees and worships your body for the amazing thing it is. We’ve also heard about cock worshipping, where they pay special attention to your dick… but did you know it is an actual religion?
No, this isn’t a joke (besides, April Fools’ Day was two days ago). There is a genuine religion where they worship cocks, and they are gaining followers. We take a look at this bizarre religion that is spreading its seed (sorry) around the world.
Temple of Priapus
The pagan temple, known as the Temple of Priapus, was first established in 1970s in San Francisco to pay tribute to the Greek god of fertility. Since then, many other temples have sprung up around the world.
One of these temples is the one in Montreal. The temple and its members have been featured in a documentary released at the end of last month on VOD and DVD. The documentary’s name? The Dickumentary. Yes. Really.
Basically, the documentary aims to “answer some of the greatest questions of our time”, according to the Facebook page. However, we aren’t sure that their “greatest questions” are the same as ours… since one of them is “what happened to Jesus’ foreskin?”
I don’t know about you, but I haven’t found myself lying awake at night wondering that. I tend to think of things like “did I leave the oven on” or “can I really afford to treat myself to that sexy dress I was hoping to buy this weekend?”. Thoughts about Jesus’ penis are FAR from my mind.
The penis is holy
It seems like we might be heading for Monty Python territory now, where we start breaking into the “every sperm is sacred” song. Believe me, it gets a hell of a lot more interesting.
On the temple’s website, which is so completely not safe for work that you probably shouldn’t even think about looking at it until you are alone in a dark room with the door locked, they are pretty clear about what they want to do.
For them, the cock is holy and they advise that “at least four hours a week should be devoted to masturbation or assisting others towards the goal”.
Yes, they are encouraging you to keep beating off during the week, but members also have to whack each other off in order to achieve the enlightenment that only dick can bring… although this enlightenment comes with a big mess to clean up.
Pornographic
Still not truly disturbed? You will be. The temple’s website, which contains the kind of graphic images you usually only see on porn sites, details the vetting process for potential members.
“COCK size is not relevant, but COCK pride is! Group sex is a vital part of church and the candidate must accept to participate while not being forced to do any acts not of his choosing.”
Sounds fair enough, right? Candidates must be willing to participate, but will not be forced to do anything they don’t want to do. However, it gets worse: “anal sex is conditional upon wearing of a condom. Failure to do will result in expulsion from the temple. Sex is part of the screening process. Failure to have some sort of sex during the interview blocks further processing of application.”
That’s right, if you don’t have “some sort of sex” during your interview, you can’t be a part of the temple. Sounds to me like they are just men wanting to have sex.
Not just for men
I say men, but female worshippers can also be a part of this interesting religion. However, at the moment only men are a part of the Montreal church. They have openings, ladies!
For David Francis Cassidy, the Pontifex of the Montreal temple, finding this safe haven has been a blessing.
“The temple is a gathering place for us to express our sexuality. The temple is a place for us to feel free and uninhibited, to explore ourselves, learn about ourselves, to grow within ourselves and to become ourselves.”
So basically, they can do all of the kinky things they want to do at home but with others around to witness it and say “dude, that’s not normal” or “that looks fun!”
Regular services
If you thought it couldn’t possibly get any more bizarre, maybe it is time you left the internet for good. On the internet, things can always get weirder, as a parishioner of the temple says.
It seems that they hold regular services on the first Monday of each month, and parishioner Ray Batson tells more.
“[Cassidy] does this thing in front of the altar with the candles and the incense, and then we stand there naked and we’re praying for whatever,” he said in the film. “And then after, we just do whatever we feel like doing.”
I get the feeling that “whatever we feel like doing” involves condoms, lube, and a bit clean up.
Dicks, dicks everywhere
As you might imagine, a temple that dedicates itself to cock worship is going to be plentiful with phallic paraphernalia. The altar that the members worship at is chock full of it, as you can see in the video above.
In a way, I get that people want to worship dick. We’re all obsessed with it and can’t stop talking about it, so it only makes sense that there would be a religion out there dedicated to bowing down to the mighty penis.
But having sex? I don’t see how that is religious at all. To me, it just seems to be a case of “we worship cock, so we’re going to fuck you” instead of “the penis is good! All hail cock!” I wonder what their confession would involve?
Would you consider joining these members and worshipping dick in their temple, or are you happy to give your member attention at home while watching a man blow his load on a sexy woman’s tits? Let us known in the comments below, or visit the Escort Ireland forum and see what others are saying there. After reading this, I feel like I need to go to church. “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned…”
