Oh of course, the angel is the weak, pathetic, easily frightened one. Because what do angels, the warriors and servants of the Living God who created sex, know about sex?

How about you just accept that not everyone cares about what you think angels and demons should be depicted as, and just let it fucking go? Seriously, if seeing depictions of angels and demons that don't harmonize with your religious views upsets you so much, blacklist the damn tags!

Given the dearth of angels having sex or even exploring their own bodies across the entire history of Western religious art, one could be forgiven for assuming that if angels were real, they would all be a bunch of nervous, clueless virgins. There's plenty of art of demons seducing and ravishing mortals, so if something was keeping artists from depicting angels the same way, it's not because they were too prudish to imagine it.

If you want to headcanon angels as having supernatural sexual prowess, good for you. But don't blame anime artists for staying more-or-less accurate to what has been a cultural standard for the past two thousand years.

One of the greatest triumphs the Devil ever achieved over the Church was to convince both the Church and the World that sexy is the same as evil and satanic. And no, it doesn't matter how many people have been taken in by this deception and for how long and how deeply such heresy has been entrenched into one's culture. Nor does it matter if your pastor has bought into it and preaches it on Sunday morning. A lie remains a lie and, blasphemy remains blasphemy no matter who utters it.
