Public displays of affection

I noticed that we are assuming that children shouldn't see sex. I have this same intuition, but what is the justification?
Why shouldn't children see a couple having sex?

because children copy what they see. :shrug: Who wants your kid learning technique? Especially bad technique from gay men who only have sex 2x a month in a park?
 
Dude you are an animal, does that lower your intelligence ?


Enmos, killing an animal isn't murder. And no, calling me it doesn't change my intelligence, or anything else about me, except perhaps in your eyes.

How would you defend contemporary legislation which prohibits killing humans but allows the killing of animals? Remember, such legislation is religious in origin.

you know i was talking about this to my freind the other day, she seems to think that kids should never ever see sex, but personally, i have a more open attitude about it, if they walk into your room and your ahving sex, and you quickly stop waht your doing, then they will know you were doing somthing, but saying that you shouldnt sit a kid down to watch a porn film
 
What if your children were to find out you were swinging with other couples? How would you explain it to them?

So, if I say humans are animals you get dumber in my eyes ?
Explain to me how that works..

I wouldn't.

Remember, such legislation is religious in origin.
Believe me, I know all too well :bugeye:


Can I ask what you are then, if not a great ape ?

Or, if they found out you haven't been getting your morals and ethics from scriptures, as you've been pounding into their heads their entire lives.
 
Don't all married couples "do it" in their tent? It is where they sleep together, right?

Could be a great place to conceive a baby?

When we have sex outside, the thrill is that we don't have the kids and we aren't in the house. Is it public sex to do it in a tent in a campground? I don't think so.
What Asguard is talking about is flat out inconsiderate and childish.

No, it's not "public sex" to enjoy sex in a tent. A tent qualifies as a "home," besides, a tent is a place where we would expect a married couple to sleep together.

I have long stood for the already "huge" human population to grow naturally, respecting the natural flow of human life unhindered, and of course, sensible "family values" really does go along with that. So of course we have to allow married couples to enjoy sex in their tents and RVs. Presumably they do it quiet enough usually so that the entire campground isn't aware, but if they aren't quite quiet enough, I think, respect their "virtual privacy" and don't bother them. It's just the "natural music" of the human race growing.

Regarding PDAs, I don't see any need to be too strict on that. Make sure they are of opposite sex, or confined to normal friendship stuff and not "homosexual" displays. I'm not generally into touching coworkers, as what's acceptable and what isn't? But I like having friends that give me a friendly pat on the back and such. I'm not touch-phobic, but don't understand so well the art of how to properly touch people we know. Back to PDAs, yeah, I think hugs and holding hands and such of young couples, probably are possibly "sexual." But so what? So is the color of flowers and stuff, about reproduction. We should encourage more people to commonly reproduce, but with appropriate privacy. Breastfeeding in public is fine, because that's common in developing countries, and people who readily let their families grow quite large, would often be carrying hungry babies around and should feel welcome to be having so many children. I prefer to see some PDAs, as I would like to think that people like one another, and would prefer to live in a pro-life culture where lots of people are naturally pairing up, marrying, and of course, reproducing naturally prolifically. But PDAs should meet reasonable "community standards." Kissing in public is probably fine, but isn't there like a generous "time limit" of a kiss not lasting more than 2 minutes, or it's "foreplay" and not kissing? Or is it 20 seconds? Well I doubt that anybody's going to pull out a stopwatch and time them?

I have a co-worker who is very reserved, we threaten to hug her now and then, just for kicks. :D

[Her motto is: If you're not family, do not hug me; so of course we've ALL adopted her :D]
 
Children usually shouldn't see sex. But then, actual privacy from sex may not always be reasonably available.

That's a good point. But, in the past, haven't children seen sex during their childhood? Or has it always been kept private?

No, I don't think it has always been kept so private. Larger American homes, with lots of separate bedrooms, is kind of a new thing historically, and more of a modern "luxury" than actual necessity. (And with larger homes, there's still the sexual sounds that can go through walls, and children forgetting and "walking in" on sex. I hardly think parents have to stop, in the heat of passion. Explain afterwards, why they like their privacy, and to knock and wait to be invited to come in.) Still in parts of many developing countries, many people's homes are small, and there is little or no privacy from the children for married couples to enjoy sex. Sometimes entire families may live in just 1 or 2 rooms. In such "overcrowded" or confined conditions, it seems understandable that children may be well aware of the sexual activities of their parents, and I believe humans should of course continue to reproduce naturally, even if their housing currently is too small. A child is worth far more than the home, and maybe housing conditions will improve later.

And then there's the "living on the farm" version too. Children may often see the animals "doing it." I hardly think people need get all "embarassed" if they see animals "doing it" at the zoo. They're animals, what do you expect?
 
the main problem with my idea is the freaks who would illegally film couples for personal gratification or finatial gain
I don't think it would be illegal to film a couple having sex in public. I believe (although I could be wrong) that it's illegal to film someone where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy. If you're doing it in a public park, you're fair game for fliming and posting on the internet.

If I remember correctly its illegal to film anyone in particular in public without their consent if you are going to use the material publicly.
 
enmos is right mad, to film or photograph anyone in public or private without concent is illegal. its ok to take a photo of a whole street where there maybe people for art but to specifically film a specific person is against the law
