Well so are most of Occhi's jokes...
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.

And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.

Casual sex is an interesting topic. The prevailing logic is that, inevitably, one of the partners gets too attached, or takes it too far, etc. and then feelings end up getting hurt and problems ensue.

If both partners *don't* get emotionally attached however, is it really "wrong" for two consenting adults to have casual fun together? It seems like many people make so much more of sex than they need to. Obviously it's best with someone who you deeply care for and are committed to, but it's nothing to sniff at when done with someone who just wants to have fun as well.

Speak for yourself, Doc. I sure had fun. :P

On a more serious note, Mithrandir, I see nothing 'wrong' with consenting adults having fun together. Yes, there is that problem of differing expectations and feelings. But (here comes that word again) :rolleyes: communication can mitigate or even nullify that.

    As to your first point about Divorce, let me ask you a question.  Why is it that people who get divorced didn't figure out that the relationship wasn't going to work before they got to the point of getting married? 
[right][snapback]79356[/snapback][/right]

About the young girls (I'm guessing that's what you mean by "my niece's age") getting pregnant, why were they having sex in the first place? Did they think it was cool? Did they not want to do it but had trouble sticking up for themselves? Did other people squeeze them into doing it? Did they not understand the problems pregnancy can cause? A combination? Arguing that premartial sex causes these problems ignores a lot of other social and peopel issues that go into the decisions.

About the divorces: I've seen divorces too. First one, my dad had an affair, the marriage was going down the drain anyway, the divorce happened. I don't remember exacly what the whole process. Second one Ithink just fell apart, Don't remember why it happened. Third one was going fine for awhile, than arguments started, than they got into a fight, she got punched real hard, they got divorced. From what Isee no pre-marital sex involved, just people who didn't learn to work things out and/or wouldn't change something in order to make it work better, plus some anger control problems. I'll certainly be keeping all this in mind for friendships and marriages later on in life. Notice, though, no sex issue,s at least that Isaw, it was mostly money or general problems issues.

For your examples, what did happen in these marriages? It would explain a lot more. In some cases, maybe people need counseling, or maybe need to ask arund to see if similar problems have happened and what worked and didn't work.

About moral decay: Saying premarital sex leads to decay or morals is morality nitpicking, in that people make up a lot of rules to get everyone to follow arlong with they few ipoortant ones. Maybe there are a lot of people who need this, I'm not really sure. But I don't like someone coming in and telling me to follow certain rules just because they are morality rules, I can figure out for myself why certain ones are important or not, and which ones that I'd follow.

Well, I don't see it so much "wrong" as "probably a bad idea". There's possible attachment problems, diseases, sex addiction, etc. (these are in no particular order, except as I thought of them). That's probably why people say it's "wrong", to get to people who don't think about these things.

Casual sex can only stay "casual" if the frequency stays fairly low, IMHO. It's human nature to become attached to the person one is regularly sleeping with, as you indicated. There are of course people (of both genders) that for some reason or another don't want and/or can't form this close attachment with anyone. For an individual that is more or less psycologically sound, the feelings follow the act after a fairly short while.

I have successfully forgotten disco. (And I never did either wear or date anyone who wore White polyester of any kind.)

Instead, there was: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon"

Little Feat "Dixie Chicken"

Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks "Where's the Money"

Queen "A Night at the Opera"

I like to think that all 2000+ views of this thread are based purely on the fact that my internet name is in the thread title (even though Doc forgot to capitalise the 'B' :angry: ).

To stay on-topic, here is a smiley story about my first time having sex.

Her: "Let's go downstairs, just me and you."
Me: :huh:
Her: "It'll be fun. I have a surprise for you."
Me: :blink:
Her: "Yep."
Me: :)
Her: "We are all alone now and my parents aren't home."
Me: :blush:
Her: :blush:
Me: :unsure:

Then its not much of a marriage, and thus no point in going to the altar in the first place. The law is not the issue, whybish, it is the violation of trust. That's personal.

Which takes us to the experiments in "open marriages." That fad, in the US at least, was unsustainable. Of course, there are probably still some that are working somewhere in Oregon and Northern California.

Back to "the goose and the gander both goosing outside the barnyard" is not that uncommon in arranged marriages, or marriages of convenience. But then, is it really a marriage? Not in my book. It a mercenary contract.

How about, polygamy, a standard for centuries? One sided, as I see it. You want to be part of the harem? Suit yourself. It is still a valid institution in some cultures. ANd as Duchess said to the Dirtwater Fox: "Six days off and one day on!"

One could take the French point of view, that a man's mistress and wife should never be introduced to one another (or something like that) but I suspect that is a PoV of the rich. And given the low birth rate among French, a contributor to their decline.

In my personal hell, Jerry Springer becomes president. With Madonna as Secretary of State. (I am guessing Jerry would spend most of the term trying to get into her britches, and she'd take over a . . .)
