Keep tap dancing, DAnconia. But the questions I asked were crytstal clear and so were your answers --

" Are you in favor of incest? How about polygamy? Does public indecency appeal to you? Is it ok with you if people parade themselves nude in front of parents and children in public parks? Engage in sexual activity in front of same?"

[DAnconia55]: "No. (but shouldn't be illegal either).
Sure, if anyone's that dumb they deserve two wives.
Be more specific.
Yes.
Tacky, but yes...

So you've stated that you're ok with adults exposing themselves to children in public places and that you're ok with adults engaging in sex acts in front of children in public places. It's right there in black and white for anybody to read and understand.

I didn't ask you about what should or shouldn't be legal. I asked you what you were ok with and you told me.

Frankly, your answer didn't surprise me. On this thread, you've repeatedly stated that you want all laws pertaining to public morals abolished [posts 186, 205]. IOW, you don't believe that a community has the right to enforce its own standards of public decency. What more can be expected of a man who boasts in a public forum that he routinely sodomizes his wife [post 208] or who fails to make a distinction between freedom and license [post 237]?

Is it ok with you if people parade themselves nude in front of parents and children in public parks?

Yes. Here I was thinking of the nude beach type setting. Sure. No problem there at all. And I think you understand me clearly.
But I'd also have no problem with it, if a mall owner wanted to go nudist either.
Not saying I'd shop there, but...

Engage in sexual activity in front of same?"

I'm arguing against your absolutism.
The question should be : Should there be a law against kids seeing two people have sex.
My answer is no.

So yes, it is ok if "Engage in sexual activity in front of (snip) parents and children". Because to say no would give you license to create criminals out of something that is normal, and not dirty no matter how much you want to make it.

Sex is part of human life like eating, sleeping and breathing. Your fundamentalist drive to hide it, to make kids curious, to teach them that something that is normal for their bodies (and don't give me crap, I remember being a teenage boy) - is far more harmful than seeing a naked couple on a beach. Or even a naked couple having sex.

If we were mentally healthy about sex, and came upon a couple on a beach somewhere having sex - then the parents and kids would see the couple and move away to give them privacy. And no doubt the kids would giggle about it....

There is nothing good in a society that treats sex as dirty. In fact, I'd bet that part of the overabundance of sexuality - the 'obsession' if you will, is DUE to the puritanical societal mores.

We're not on the same plane.
I'm advocating extreme social and functional change. And you're trying to use your current (and Puritanical, if I may) mindset now to frame the cultural reaction to the events. I seek to change the cultural reactions.

Never had sex outside, have you?
