Why is it that violence is considered more acceptable than sex?

Everyone has moral standards. The question is, why do you think that sex is related to morality in any way?

The same reason you think killing is wrong, I feel it is wrong except in certain situations.

Moral standards are just rationalisations any ways...you think killing is bad except when its not. That is some real consitency.

Killing entails direct and unambiguous harm, whereas sex does not.

Yes. Masturbation is aweful for my wrists. That type of consistent and regular damage could not be reproduced by violence.

Actually, masturbation helped me greatly when I started experiencing symptoms of Carpal Tunnel.

You know a little thing called ST Ds and unwanted pregnancies.

Plus the emotional problems people have had with each other when they did pre-marital sex.

Good point.

But wait... if unwanted pregnancies are a form of violence... then abortions are morally justifiable!

And we need to give condoms to everybody so that they dont get STDS or get pregnant. Quick! Someone send Tera Patrick to teach our kids sex ed!!!

@Joy: I can't imagine those are greater than the emotional problems that ensue when you realize you've married someone you're completely incompatible with sexually.

Anyway, since food poisoning or bacterial infection can be a result of eating, eating is harmful, yes?

queer@Yes,I am old-fashioned so laugh all you want.

[up]Uh,I don't know a lot of times I think promiscuity hurts more than works just look at Charlie Sheen, on the other hand you might like the guy.

[up] Well you can, and should always live by your standards and no-one should tell you otherwise. As long as you dont hurt anybody that is.

Sex isn't synonymous with promiscuity.

Neither is premartial sex. Some people in fact never get married and still only have one sexual partner and get to live to their life expectancy.

kash@I know that sex doesn't equal promiscuity but you are going to laugh at me for this.

I beleive when someone has sex with another person they leave apart of them after they do it.

No, I'm totally cool with thinking that. I just don't think it's either a problem or a moral concern.

queer@

Sex outside of marriage is a sin and brings a lot of turmoil.

However,I tend to be harder of male promiscuity because thats one thing about our culture we should agree on is that men are often praised for being promiscious and women tend to get flak for it.

Yeah,I think that men should be held to the same standard and not be promoted to act promiscious.

[up] Then that sucks for you. Like... Modern society can not and should not take those parameters of morality and enforce them.

Besides... who cares if we show some nudity in TV... if you beleive in what you beleive then you will not sin because of it.

If all that is keeping you from sining is not watching a naked woman then you cant truly say to not be sining even if you arent doing anything.
