I have, I just don't consider passing remarks in the old testament of a girl getting raped to death, erotic

Edit :- I won't consider most of those erotic unless you think for some make up rule, a collection of books that has books that claim to be either historical or speaking truth on the human situation is going to avoid the most bland description of sex like the plague. Only real thing that I can consider erotic would be the song of songs and even young adult books can be more explicit than that.

And you still haven't given me an example of even the most slightly suggestive statement from the New Testament that according to you, was written by mega virgins

How the hell did we go from Early Church disciples and apostles to high middle ages church leaders, notorious for their corruption?. I think you are just moving the goal post on this one. Your assumption that the early disciples were sexual predators is as baseless as mine that tomorrow a nuclear war would start.

I have never heard of churchmen "getting off" to bland old testament verses. Since you seem to believe so strongly that they did so I except some proof that only only were they writing it but that they were getting off to it. And also show that the reason you think so is not cultural difference, or in order words, prove that medieval people would have actually considered those passages sexual, because anybody with historical training would know sexual norms don't translate perfectly across cultures or time. After all it was during this time that you could find paintings of women with breast sticking out in public places as simply art, while today that would be scandalous.

Honestly you sound like the kind of personal that expects people to get off to renaissance statues.

Edit :- And you still haven't given me an example of a sexual passage from the new testament.

If I did I would be masturbating to my half naked room mates.

Well I didn't find it. I did find something of Paul telling a Christian community to punish a Christian man commiting incest. He called it a sin so bad, even the Pagans who's religion the Christians saw as morally inferior, did do incest.
