Answer 2

I'm an atheist and a member of the Ethical Society. There are no hard and fast rules, but we encourage people to be responsible in all their activity, and sexuality has some intense responsibilities. Most specifically in regard to getting pregnant, but really also in the emotional intensity of a relationship.

Consenting adults is the basic rule I live by, but of course that includes the fact that no one actually consents to contracting a disease.

I feel we should have respect for the privacy of sexual activity, and if someone wants to keep things confidential, that's their privilege. If, on the other hand, they are gay and want to be an activist for gay rights, that is also their privilege. I support not only gay rights but all other rights of consenting adults.

Answer 3

i'm an atheist and a member of the moral Society. we've no particular nutritional practices as such, yet extremely a number of our contributors, including our chief, are vegetarian or maybe vegan. Me? i'm caught with ingesting basically what my physician approves, and that's ethical sufficient. The extra we preserve ourselves and stay healthy, the extra we can be effective, self sufficient, and so on. If basically I had . . . oh, properly. I do the ideal i'm able to now, and attempt to no longer think of with regard to the previous.

Answer 4

As a Roman Catholic Christian I was instructed, quite unequivocally, that the only acceptable sexual activity is 'straight' sex between marriage partners: no anal, no oral. AND your couldn't do anything to prevent conception. Of course, that was many decades ago. I am not uptodate on what concessions may have been allowed since then.

Answer 5

firstly - non faith my friend!
that alone eliminates the matter of sexual ethical and moral issues!

I have no taboo as long as it is two ppl who merge in consensual sensuality! sexual activity is such a huge open book! studied for 1000"s of years ! there is so much that could be defined as sexual activity even if it is not physical at all!

Answer 6

If you say "I am going follow whatever is good within my own faith" then you'll say that everything is ok.

According to the Bible only sexual activity is acceptable between a married man and a woman. What does marriage imply? Marriage implies a public aknowledgement and commitment that a man and a woman make to each other and they commit to serve each other in a Biblical way. Within marriage they can do whatever they want, except abortion.

Answer 7

it all depends on your religious values

If you choose to make your own values, do what ever you want, however God made sex for an honerable purpose & has restrictions on peversion of sex, (Jude 6-7) . . .And the angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place he has reserved with eternal bonds under dense darkness for the judgment of the great day. 7 So too Sod′om and Go‧mor′rah and the cities about them, after they in the same manner as the foregoing ones had committed fornication excessively and gone out after flesh for unnatural use, are placed before [us] as a [warning] example by undergoing the judicial punishment of everlasting fire.

if you want do please God learn what he expects & do that

Answer 8

All private, consentual activity between adults is moral in my faith.

It makes no sense that God would create humans with loving desires and then deem those desires to be wrong.

Answer 9

Consensual between human adults.

I'm Pagan.

Answer 10

If it's done in private, involves consenting adults, and nobody gets pregnant or infected, then it's perfectly OK with me...

Answer 11

The less likely you are to get diseases and kids, the better. Being consensual is also very important.
