Well in that case, I think that ultimately sexua1ity is a good thing for people provided it is done by people who love each other and is done either with protection or by people who know the consequences (pregnancy and/or disease) and are willing to handle them themselves. I personally think that the western world's openness to sexua1ity--combined with the conservative taboo against contraceptive--is a deadly, horrible combination that is responsible for the spread of disease and unwanted pregnancy plaguing modern society. You have people hearing that sex is good and natural and that if it feels good, they should have it, and then you have them hearing that contraceptive is evil. So what do they do? They have sex without contraceptive and problems arise--this is especially true among my native Hispanic ethnic group.
People should either be abstinent until they are ready to accept the consequences of sex or they should have safe-sex with contraceptive and still be willing to accept the consequences if their contraceptive fails. I blame conservatism for its taboo against contraceptive, and I blame postmodernism for its "if it feels good, do it" attitude toward everything that seems to promote nothing but stupidity and ignorance--people not thinking out the consequences of their actions.
