Once a moral standard cannot be applied to people behind closed doors who knows what can happen.

On who's authority? Why are you so concerned about what people do with Mr Winky? Are you afraid that you are going to miss out? Or do you find that behavior offensive, so you are going to impose your belief structure upon them? What a group of adults does, consentually and amongst themselves is of no concern to you, or to me. It's simply none of our business. I think most people have their hands full trying to run their own lives; let alone having the wisdom, skill and intelligence to attempt to run somone else's.

I think the combined wisdom of civilized societies for thousands of years--that some things done in private DO matter to the rest of us--speaks against you. You are reflecting an entirely idealistic and unrealistic radical libertarian (or perhaps anarchistic?) perspective.

You really think its fine for your neighbors to have an orgy of goats, dead bodies, blood, etc. and that's just none of anyone elses business (provided it doesn't smell too badly)???

You, I, and everyone lives in jurisdictions where some private sexual behavior is regulated--is it really that horendously burdensome? Would Sodom be a better place to live for you?
