subnoconas;
Morality is a funny thing, you can apply it and it doesn't stick or it applies itself and it won't come off. By not fornicating and reproducing, you run the risk of never reproducing, while people who really have no morals are reproducing like rabbits. I just wish some of them would just have rabbits. By delaying reproducing you run the risk of not contributing to the human race. If everyone did that there would be no more people.
At the other end of the spectrum are the Women on Maury and such who have had 36 paternity tests and still haven't found the Father (maybe that capitalisation was not corect). A child, a boy or a girl, needs input from both sides of the human equation. When this happens they grow up intelligent and an asset to society. At least usually. On the other hand, if not nurtured correctly they do not turn out right and that is it, it starts a process of multiple generations of burdens on society. We know the gestational period within the week usually, and if a baby is premature we can tell how premature, so we are talking the span of a week.
At that, yes the Woman owns her own body and if she is a nymph, well, like a smoker or addict, satisfy yourself. It did not hurt me, but when you EXPECT my tax dollars to feed your gang, that is where the morality stops. It has ceased to exist. So we probably agree somewhat, but while we need to judge people, we need to do it in relation to what they do to us, and their impact on society.
It seems that you're inferring that sex is bad. I admit that I remained a virgin to an almost embarrassing age, and did wait for the right Woman, but then she was the wrong Woman.
There was a situation, even in actual hand to hand combat we were pretty well matched. there would never be a domestic violence call no matter what, but there could've been neighbors complaining. While I don't think we would ever get into a knockdown dragout, I could never feel as though I can trust her. The plan was to move her out of the city and start a new life somewhere, we knew alot of lowlifes.
Now let's move on to the other poster who stated she has had ten lovers since she was nineteen. How do we judge her ? Did she come in here and tell us one of her ten children grew up to mow down a bunch of people with an AK47 in a McDonald's ? If we are to use a metaphor let's go for it, instead of a McDonald's, make it a college library. ( are their lives worth more ?, your call) Also, about the time frame, whaddya think, ten lovers in ten years, or to be on the safe side twenty ?
I like the fact that my old flame had very few lovers, it shows she was picky. That's all.
Responsible adults who have had ten lovers hopefully used protection, ten kids are way too much to handle these days. If they have ten kids I hope they don't turn out to be psychopaths. That's my judgement. It has nothing to do with their morality. That is a seperate issue.
A person can:
Enhance the well being of humanity.
Remain neutral.
Detract from the well being of humanity.
Their choices between these three possibilities is from which judgements as to their morality need to be derived. And what's more, we can't really judge them from the results, there are two many variables. Some of the best laid plans of mice and Men you know . . . .
So be careful not to lay morality where it does not belong. I judge my friends, I have picked up my camera and said "Sit still, I want a picture of the stupidest MF I have ever seen". This was after a particularly stupid decision he had made. But he only hurt himself.
That is a whole different story.
You can have all the sex you want, just take care of the kids. As far as I am concerned you can drive as fast as you want if you never hit anything. Do anything you want as long as you don't hurt anyone and don't burden society with long term consequences.
Doesn't get much simpler than that.
