Not just me – our society and every society that has evolved out of the dark ages, see sex as something “sacred.” That’s why rape and child pornography are treated as the most egregious crimes in our society. That’s why sex offenders are treated as a special class of criminals. That’s why there is so much debate about how and when we teach our children about sex.
Anything that involves the most intimate parts of a person’s body and that is hard-wired to our emotional state deserves special treatment. If we don’t consider sex to be “sacred,” then there would be no reason to consider rape as more serious than financial fraud or even burglary.
And these are the reasons why any attempt to equate sex as “just another recreational activity” or prostitution “as just another business activity” is completely flawed. Sex is different.[/quote]
I should have said just an activity “between adults” – my mistake for omitting that distinction. And recall… these are my opinions (as I’ve made clear). I realize that much of the rest of society won’t agree with me here and I’m perfectly ok with that.[/quote]
You know, when sex is TOO sacred you have fathers murdering their own daughters for family honor, female circumsion, acid attacks etc- no thank you.
Also, I think it is agreed we are none of us approving child prostitution in any way shape or form.
