....brings out the nobility in no one, arguably brings out the base in many; it's main benefit is to provide a passing pleasure (itself no virtue); it enriches a few.... [snip]

The same could be said of any number of diversionary activities humans engage in.

Cards.

Bingo.

Checkers.

Hopscotch.

Rag-time music, and (horrors!):

Are we to ban ALL recreational activities that you don't deem to be virtuous? Or do you just have some sort of problem with consenting adults getting naked and frolicking?
