Are you comfortable with the moral state of our union?

Question

Do you like the amount of titillating news coverage on TV and in printed media, the commercials advocating sex enhancements, the sensational news shows? Do you feel slightly strange, even if you ahve discussed sex with your 10-15 year old when there is an advertisement about Viagra or another drug like that on TV, even educational TV networks, or an add for a diet aide that features a woman dressed in a bikini talking about her 'sexy body'? TV movies with soft porn in them? What is your limit when you consider your younger children?

Answer 1

I raised two boys -- and no, I never felt odd or bad about this sort of thing. Then again, I genuinely think that sex is alright, I don't have and never had a double standard -- and I am more concerned by the part of our morality that lets us invade a sovereign nation on falsified intelligence reports and (to date) oversee the deaths of over 100,000 civilians who would not have died under their prior regime while losing over 3000 of our own precious youth and having several thousand more end up amputees; than I am about sex, which I consider both natural and fun.

For the record, both of my boys are straight, and neither of them got anyone pregnant when they were young, nor have they ever had VD -- of course that's because condoms were explained to them AND made available to them.

Thank you for asking.
