Har har, but protection can only do so much. It doesn't always work. It helps, (as does avoiding sex with those with high STD risks, something that by its very nature is a condition on the "who and how often" tropetown was referring to) but my point is that social pressures against having sex make a bit more sense than those for having sex.

Why? I don't know, and it's so far out of my league to answer that question that I'm not even going to try. I'm just going to say that I think it's ridiculous.

Having children out of wedlock tends to lead to single parents more often then married couples with children. Also, It spreads ST Ds.
Actually, you get in far more trouble for assault(when they punish them the way they should) then consentual sex. At least in this world.

I'm baaaaaaackHaving sex only spreads ST Ds if one of the people having sex has an STD. They don't just happen wantonly.
go ahead and do every stupid thing you can imagineAnd that is why A) you have sex only with people you know and trust, and B) you yourself get tested regularly if you have anything even remotely resembling an active sex life.
I don't get why people assume that just because you're having sex out of wedlock means you're having thirty orgies a month. I've had sex twice in my entire life. For some people that makes me complete filth in more than one way, and I simply fail to see the problem.
go ahead and do every stupid thing you can imagineMight I add that marriage doesn't always stop people from being promiscuous? A lot of ST Ds can be caught that way too.
There's no justice in the world and there never was~ST Ds are not a problem if u use condom. Sure there are always chances of infection but they decrease dramatically.
That is why we should tell high schoolers to use them.
I will always cherish the chance of a new beggining.I adore that!
Sex is not a good thing outside of marriage, right? Yes, indeed it's considered bad outside of marriage... FOR WOMEN!!
Men however can put their penis in as many holes as they want, no one gives a shit,as long as it's not (OMG brace yourselves!)... another man's hole. But if it's a woman's hole (whichever it is), then it's all good and, in fact, it's praised!
But how men are supposed to have sex and be promiscuous when women are required not to have sex at all is never explained clearly. Insane Troll Logic much?
No, just plain old misogyny: virgins are good women suitable for marriage, non-virgins are whores to be used and abused. Because, as anybody with a brain knows, the sole unit of measure of a woman's morality is her attitude towards sex...
EDITED IN: And why is this misogyny in particular when the flip side is that guys get flak for not having sex?

"The Daily Show has to be right 100% of the time; FOX News only has to be right once." - Jon Stewart"It's not evil, but it's not a good thing outside of marriage."
And better than thy stroke; why swellest thou then?If you don't want to have children then you could simply have a vasectomy and wear a condom at the same time. Then you don't have to worry about anything. That and you can simply look up statistics and to see how affective each condom is.
"If there is a hole then it's a man's job to thrust into it" - Ryoma from New Getter Robo@OP,
Because modern (American) society has become largely desensitized to violence, if only subconsciously (see: moral outrage at your average violent movie, but little-to-no actual action to do anything about it), but still has an (outward) aversion to public discussion of sex, for myriad and far-reaching reasons, which gives the sexually-repressed society justification to shake their fingers at the sexuality-laden product while simultaneously secretly enjoying the product in a kind of backhanded way (see: how the Hot Coffee scandal got Grand Theft Auto immediately pulled from shelves, and yet also caused the game's sales to shoot through the roof).
Basically, by saying "sex is bad!" our society can sort of have its cake and eat it too: it gets to poke its nose in other people's business and enjoy their sex, in a way, but still have its moral outrage at basic biological functions.
That isn't to say that there aren't contexts where sex is morally wrong and/or completely inappropriate to bring up—there most certainly are—but there are far less than society would have you believe, obviously, and sex is most certainly not inherently evil in any sense of the phrase (even ignoring moral relativism and such).

Thread Hop!
People tend to be ultra-offended by sexual content in a way that everything else pales in comparison. People tend to act as if Sex Is Evil.
