I think openess about sex would see a reduction in sex crimes as it is human nature to desire what is taboo. Many of you need to look into your own minds and realize what trips your sexual libido and decide if someone knew about that , how you would be looked at in american society.

Are you suggesting that if one has a sexual desire for children, it is unfair for the rest of us to think that is evil?

What if our desire is towards animals? Should that be "more open"?

i am trying to understand the leap from openess about sex and how it jumps to beastiality and pedophilia?
And yes , i believe personal choice and privacy are paramount.
Government interference and morality police need not tell me what to do. I have been raised with good moral values and the fear of god to steer me inthe right direction. That does not give me the righto decide the fate of others. If a woman decided to abort , it is her choice, not mine to mandate.
The reason I have been a freeper for so long is the exchange of ideas and the right to differ with others on here without being chastised. It doesn't mean i have to tow the party line. I also enjoy the exchange of differing views and the ability of my fellow freepers to give me the real story.
So I think Americans have a preoccupation with sex and the inabilty to differentiate between true crimes and the exploration of growing up.
And if your wife wants to hop on rover, who am i to say yes or no?

You asked: What if our desire is towards animals? Should that be "more open"?

Why not ask the calm, reasoned intellectuals at PETA or the Humane Society of America?

Surely we would receive an insightful answer, wouldn't we? Assuming they can take time off from their arduous fund raising efforts. /sarc off
