Can we all pause for a second and think outside the box?

What we are really arguing is competing social agendas. Some are religion based. Some are humanist. All are designed to condition people into appropriate behavior.

Following me so far?

Apropriate behavior is a value judgement, and representative of a comfort zone.

The human animal wants to have sex. THIS Human animal, wants to have it an awful lot lol.

The human society starts creating social rules to shape our sexual behaviors.

Usually its done with shoulds, backed with guilt and fear of consequences.

For example. You should sleep with only people you love. Otherwise if your number count gets too high you are a slut. OR you might get a disease, pregnant, stretched out, or whatever.

In the case of this thread. The competing social agendas are:

Abstinence, a hold over religious doctrine that in its purest sense is looking to create a social pattern that encourages to pair-bond and only have children in wedlock to two parental units. In its less pure sense, there are people that are genuinely uncomfortable with their sexuality that are major proponents of this program. Think of the type of thinking tht would outlaw blow jobs in 7 states.

The other social agenda is education and protection. That just says, look people are going to have sex, lets try and protect against unwanted pregnancy and disase while people are screwing around. This program is supported by people that would rather have children born into stable family settings but might be a little less uncomfortable about the idea of sex itself, a little less religious, or just pragmatic.
