They aren't Christian arguments they are arguments of history, experience and reason. Starting with Socrates : nd here, Callicles, I would have you consider how you would reply if consequences are pressed upon you, especially if in the last resort you are asked, whether the life of a catamite is not terrible, foul, miserable? Or would you venture to say, that they too are happy, if they only get enough of what they want? CALLICLES: Are you not ashamed, Socrates, of introducing such topics into the argument? SOCRATES: Well, my fine friend, but am I the introducer of these topics, or he who says without any qualification that all who feel pleasure in whatever manner are happy, and who admits of no distinction between good and bad pleasures? And I would still ask, whether you say that pleasure and good are the same, or whether there is some pleasure which is not a good? CALLICLES: Well, then, for the sake of consistency, I will say that they are the same. SOCRATES: You are breaking the original agreement, Callicles, and will no longer be a satisfactory companion in the search after truth, if you say what is contrary to your real opinion. ============= We may enlarge our physical appetites and all other accidental particular desires to any extent, and do everything possible to satisfy these desires to the maximum extent. With the tyrant in mind again, Callicles says this is what is most admirable by nature (p.64). This is what aristocrats will choose (p.65). Here we see a hedonistic perversion of the old honor code, a sign of decadence perhaps. Socrates responds with the images of the undisciplined soul as like a sieve (p.66-67); Callicles says pleasure is greatest when the greatest quantity of desire and satisfaction (p.67). Against this, Socrates offers three reductios: (a) First, it would imply that the best life is the life of unlimited sexual ecstacy, prostitution, an luxury (the life of a catamite --p.68). This is too shameful for Callicles to accept. (b) Second, the pain of desire and pleasure of satisfaction can co-exist (p.71). --Suppose feeling enjoyment or desire-satisfaction is doing well pain is doing badly. --Thus a person can be doing well and doing badly (in the same respect, at the same time). --But this is absurd (p.71) (c) Intelligent and brave men are good, the foolish and cowardly are evil (by the old honor code) (p.74). But the foolish and cowardly may feel pleasure, and the intelligent and brave may feel pain. If our pleasure makes our life good, and our pain makes our life bad, then the intelligent and brave men can have bad lives (as well as good ones) and the foolish and cowardly can have good lives (as well as bad)--which is absurd (p.75).

Everything I do would be considered a sexual perversion and I'm not even a christian. I don't think anything or anyone should keep you from exploring your sexuality.

Depends on who's doing the perversion testing.

I've heard there are no limits on a married christian couple as long as both people consent to everything.. also, it shouldn't involve other people because then it's not just the married couple anymore..
the Bible does teach that denying your partner sex is wrong..

Christian couples that have one partner that refuses sex, is the perversion according to the Bible.

What is it anyones business to know and judge the sexual behaviors any married couple would have.
To be married is to become one.......

Adultery (group sex, swinging, things like that), and some Christians (mostly Catholics) believe that practicing birth control or ejaculation anywhere that wouldn't result in pregnancy is wrong.
Other than that, everything's good!

The bible says the marriage bed cannot be defiled. Whatever is done out of love is proper.
