Religious symbolisms and sexuality.

The cross, an erect phallic shape thrust up into the sky, the image of a man dying on it, dying on the phallus, a clear representation of the importance of the need to control sexual urges. The devil, horns, the rehashed pre-Christian fertility god of the sexual act and sexual urges, to deny oneself the temptation of the Devil is obviously the Christian necessity to suppress sexual urges.
The upside down cross, again, the phallic symbol but the longer shaft is pointing upwards, the horizontal bars represent the entrance to the female sexual organ, something which is discouraged as a form of pleasure in the mixed up world of the religious fundamentalist.
The minaret, a clear phallic symbol and the dome of the mosque, adapted from the early Christian churches and before that the pre-Christian Roman temples represent the female breast, surrounded by phalluses, the obsession of the Abrahamic faiths misogynistic suppression of the female and the unhealthy obsession with male dominance.

The cross is Matter; Christ is the soul. The soul is nailed to the body by the sexual passions (the fallen Kundalini Serpent in the Garden of Eden). But the soul must take the same way out of the body, by again crucifying itself—thus the "Passion" of Christ is also his liberation.

Don't forget though, the sexual organs create new life. Their symbolic representation are most commonly used to signify the creative force of the universe, God's Spirit, the Holy Will, the Will of Allah as the Muslims say.

The cross was used by Romans to execute prisoners and any symbolism associated with it, sexual or otherwise, is coincidental.

If you're looking for sexual imagery within the New Testament I'd advise instead looking towards Jesus' parables, such as that of the seed, and indeed the resurrection, the emergence from the burial chamber, the womb of the earth, the spiritual rebirth.

Unless one becomes born again....
