FYI -- Common sense & experience shows that the overwhelming anount of people in this society do not regard sex outside of marriage or sex for reasons other than procreation as "taboo".

Great. Then people will vote to remove that taboo by electing people to state legislatures who vow to remove laws reflecting that taboo. Pretty easy this voting stuff.

Sounds like you're saying that whether something is "taboo" or not depends on whether or not there is a law against it. I, for one, do not need laws to make such judgments.

By the way, I'm not aware of any laws that prevent people from engaging in sex for reasons other than procreation. (And while there are adultery laws on the books they are never enforced).

You are holding up pretty well here IMO, as well as others I imagine.

I am perplexed that people do not see the slide to nihilism with this decision. Its sad, really.
