(20,176 posts)Monogamy is also awesome if that's what you're into. (I'm not, but different strokes for different folks.) Monogamous people! Make more time for love with your committed life-partners, you won't regret it.
That would be a "no" on gang rape. You didn't ask, but lets volunteer further that I'm opposed to statutory rape even where the victimized party is consenting.
"Why not, as long as both or more partners are consenting." on random sex with strangers.
"I think that might be unsanitary, but sex is often dirty and unsanitary" on sex in the streets. If you don't want an audience, you should probably find a room or at-least a dark alley though.
You're thinking obscenity and voyeurism...it ceases to be shocking or titillating when it's commonplace. I have issues with FCC decency standards...I think they should be loosened on nudity and sex and tightened on violence.
Even Antonin Scalia, that arbiter of morality from the bench, supports the rights of orgies between consenting parties. Who am I to disagree?
Condoms? For god-sakes use condoms! Do you really think we need more live-births? Further, prophylaxis protects against disease.
STDs are bad: most are treatable, others manageable. In the end, you're responsible for your own sexual health. I get tested regularly, all sexually-active adults whether monogamous or polyamorous or even casually-promiscuous should be getting tested regularly.
One begins at the age one wants to, it is all about consent. For that matter one can quit whenever one wants to, or for that matter, abstain if they so choose...this is after-all about consent. Nobody is forcing anybody to partake; I'm arguing for a loosening of sexual morality saying that I think we'd be a happier, less violence-obsessed culture if there were a little more fulfilling rewarding sex going on.
