It's ok MPH, I understand. Everyone's got different views about these things, they're intensely personal, and everyone just has to do whatever they feel is best.

Personally, I think sex is healthy and gets a bad rap in the US for the most part, but I do prefer it in monogamous, long lasting relationships. But that's just me, and even in my immediate friends, opinions vary widely over when it's right, and the reasons people should do it. Some agree with you MPH, and some agree with me. No one is right and no one is wrong.

Most of what I've described about myself here was done for the religious people responding in the original thread. Although I'm an atheist, I live my life in a fairly controlled manner, and I wanted to shed light on how I get along in this world, helping others, etc, free from any religious reasons.
