Default Can't we all just agree that sex is sex?

Why must we criminalize a pleasant way to pass the time? While we're at it, the species propagation angle shouldn't be discounted.

Do weigh in...

I wasn't aware that it was a crime. Or are you talking about prostitution?

Sex is like math. Sometimes you get a practical result but that isn't why you do it.

Many people think sex is more than just a pleasant way to pass the time. Thus we don't do it randomly all the time, why rape is a special crime, why we don't encourage young children to participate. I don't know if it's also cause to suspend commodification, but it doesn't improve your argument to act like it ain't nothin.

Unless you're trying to become a prostitute?

I hope this comment is not related to Jerry Sandusky.

If you are referring to prostitution, it should be legalized. After all, the difference between prostitution and "sex for free" is that the latter usually costs more.
