Preacher: 'Get your freak on'

He's kind of an arse, though:

'But Beam is also part entertainer with a patter that is almost vaudevillian in its timing: 'Why can women be multiorgasmic and men not? Well, I've decided God just likes you better! ... 'What's the difference between a woman with PMS and a Doberman? Lipstick.'

This literalist view cuts both ways. Beam has been attacked by some conservative Christians for his liberal take on certain subjects.

Much of what he preaches contradicts the teaching of other sects, such as Roman Catholicism. But he argues that if the Bible does not forbid it, you can do it. So bring on masturbation.

Try any position in the Kama Sutra (but refer to drawings, please, not pictures of real people). Wife away on business? Have phone sex. Birth control is good. Even anal sex is OK if (and Beam believes this is a big if) it does no harm to the body.'

One preacher's message: Have hotter sex
