Do Arabs say "Allah" when making love?Do Buddhists say "Buddha"?
And who do Hindu's say?
I can say from personal research and books and movies that it is not uncommon for Jews and Christians to say "God" and that it is not english specific. "Dieu" (French) and "Dios" (Spanish) and probably most frequently cried the Italian "Dio"
But why? And is this cross cultural with other religions?
Is it a primal, deep seeded, past life, regurgitated reflex?
Is it a spontaneous Glorification and injection of innocence and purification into something so seemingly self or mutually gratifying?
Is it a sub conscious reminder of why we're compelled to make love?
Why is this third entity included in such a private, intimate exchange?
And do other religions have this same vocabulary crop up in bed?
or, i this fucking subject just stupid as me?
I just was wondering...

And while we're at it -
It makes sense that we would cry "Oh God!" or "Jesus Christ" when we're scared or shocked. If you believe, you might want the immediate buffer as a protection.
And when we hurt ourselves, we are pissed for the lack of protection... "God Dammit" and we tend to go towards words less exalted that refer to lesser pleasant bathrooming or unromantic sex - censorship of bad words prevents me from examples - but you get my point.
It seems to me that the word "God" is very present in our involuntary bodily reaction language. Even for those who are not religious. That's interesting.
So, is this expletive use simply a cultural phenomenon or do we see this in the Middle East, Asia and in non-catholic parts of Africa, and indigenous tribes through out the world?
And what do we think it means psychologically? spiritually? Historically?
Well there are plenty of Latin blokes called Jesus... Shouting that out inappropriately could cause all sorts of confusion.
its true that as muslims we consciously remember God before we make love. Actually we remember God in all our emotional states.
Your right that we all invoke-or call out to God- in heightened emotional states. for example whether you believe in him or not if you've just had an accident or witnessed something amazing you instinctively utter "My God!"
The reason why as muslims we remember God-and say a prayer-before making love; is to protect ourselves and and any resulting children from the Satan.
source: Narrate Ibn Abbās (may Allāh be pleased with him): Prophet Muhammad (may Allāh's blessings and peace be upon him) said, If anyone of you, before having sexual intercourse with his wife says:
Bismillāh Allāhumma jannibnash-shaytān wa jannibi sh-shaytāna mā razaqtanā, and if it is destined that they should have a child, then satan will never be able to harm that child (Bukhārī)
The meaning of this supplication is: "In the Name of Allāh! O Allāh! Protect me from satan and protect what You bestow upon us (i.e. the offspring) from satan."
According to the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) whenever a human eats- if you dont say "Bismillah" then Satan eats with you. that pretty much goes for most activities.
