The jist of the leaflet is that orgasms are fun and should be encouraged. There is absolutely no reason that 'orgasms' should necessarily lead to an increased risk of pregnancy or STDs, since there are many, many ways to achieve orgasm (alone or with others) without requiring unprotected intercourse outside of a loving relationship. The key here is that kids are gonna do it - period. They can either do it with your informed support, or they can try to figure it out on their own, behind your backs. The latter scenario not only enhances the risks that so many of you want to mitigate with insulting morality rants, it also unnecessarily associates guilt with sexual pleasure.

Are we also to believe that if there is law, it must come from a higher authority (i.e., a dictatorship) or else it doesn't exist at all, except as a silly notion created by men (i.e., a democracy)? "If there is a true morality, it must come from a higher authority or else it DOESN'T EXIST AT ALL except as a silly notion created by men."

Not at all.. And your question is irrelevant, no matter if I answer yes or no. It is pointless and changes nothing. What I am pointing out, and what none of you seem to understand - Is there is a true morality, it must come from a higher authority or else it DOESN'T EXIST AT ALL except as a silly notion created by men. A textbook definition which is meaningless, and can be edited to suit the circumstances. Ponder that for a minute. Philosophy much? "You must admit then that if the so-called "higher power" is a contrivance of men, then it is you who holds dear a "circular, nonsensical secular philosophy!"."

D'uh! Like humans dont know sex can be fun and good for your health! Sex isnt a big deal, and if the media simply stopped feeding society images of idealization of sex and sexuality, we wouldnt be so obsessed about it . But oh no! How are they going to get the attention of the public to buy their deodorant and sports cars and watch soap operas without sex appeal? The government is basically giving up on the whole issue. post # 32
