There was a cartoon in an anti-Catholic magazine years ago that offended me. Now I am more mellow. The cartoon first showed a priest praying to a large crucifix on the wall next to him. In the next panel, Jesus came down from the cross and mounted the priest from behind.
I doubt the irreverent cartoonist realized that in ancient pagan religion, the pagan god in the form of a priest or priestess would have sex with you in the temple. The view was that the priest or priestess was overshadowed by the pagan god. So by having sex with them, you were having sex with your god.
I realize you aren't speaking in such low chakra ways, but isn't it amazing how ancient beliefs bleed through to the present?
