Look it's all about using a little common sense and trying to think beyond personal subjective values with the greater good in mind. I will go one by one of the points that Axis brought up.
Quote:
|
1.) Scatology. Public health/safety/cleanliness issue? Would peeing on someone's face or taking a dump on them be accepted? (This is the whole "human waste issue" taken a step further. It's bad enough that people and their pets leave their urine and feces behind in public places, to add other fluids, condoms etc. to the mix, and on top of that the occasional freak who gets off on smearing shit on himself, using it for sex, and leaving THAT behind too. But under the proposed system, he's within his rights, isn't he? Or is that regulated, and who gets to do it?)
|
|
The solution to this one is pretty obvious to me. You should not be able to take a dump or pee on the sidewalk or at the park or pretty much anywhere besides a toilet that flushes your stuff down the pipes. Weather sex is involved or not, it doesn't matter, it's completely irrelevant. It's about urine and scat having REAL sanitary implications if left on public spaces.
Quote:
|
2.) BDSM. How would a random passer by be able to distinguish between a consensual session and an actual rape? What if the passer by attempts to intervene? Can he be punished for infringing on someone else's rights? What if he doesn't intervene, and it was an actual rape? Could the passer by be held liable for not having done anything? Or would he be socially justified because he assumed it was a consensual sexual practice? What about torture? What if you are into bondage, engaging in BDSM with your other in the park, and they decide to leave you tied up like that because it gets him/her off? Is he within his rights because he is freely expressing his sexuality? Would you advocate a law that says "no he can't do that"? How would you be protected from such a situation?
|
|
Look whatever it may be, weather it's a kiss or tourture, it has to be CONSENTUAL. You can not tie somebody and leave him if this goes against his will. And if because of the nature of BDSM it becomes impossible to tell weather somebody is truly getting raped or not then these type of sexual practices should be confined to specific designated areas that involve a greater amount of security where all the people involved in the sex game sign some paper before they enter the area. That way whoever is in that designated area, is surely just playing. Simple!
Quote:
|
3.) Fetishism. There's probably a fetish out there for just about anything anyone can imagine, ranging from the harmless to the dangerous and deadly. For example, exhibitionism (an often misused term in this thread), which involves luring unsuspecting people into witnessing your act. Catheter/enema fetishes (or any kind of "prop" fetish, really), asphyxiation/hanging fetishes, urine/feces fetishes (see above) and even more strange fetishes are out there. Blood fetishes, crush fetishes (sexual arousal from crushing small animals to death), necrophilia, sexual slavery and simulated rape (VERY confusing to a random passer by), ACTUAL rape, and more. Which ones are "okay" and which are "not"? Who gets to decide and enforce? What about the rights of others? Whose holds greater legitimacy? The "gray area" widens dramatically at this point. Take this a step further to issues such as bestiality and it becomes a very messy can of worms.
|
|
The same logic of what I said about BDSM should apply to a lot of these things. And no, you can not be luring or following people into witnessing your act, because then it's like stocking somebody which is already punished regardless of weather is sexual or not. It all has to be CONSENTUAL. And if the fetish due to its extreme nature poses dangers to the public then it should be confined to designated areas that can provide the security and safety needed.
Quote:
|
4.) Role-playing. Is it okay to impersonate police officers and have sex in public? What about "baby" fetishes? Simulated rape (see above)? Again, a very diverse field with HUGELY subjective gray areas. Would it be okay to role-play a US soldier having sex with a Muslim woman in public? If someone witnessed something like this and was offended, whose opinion holds legitimacy?
|
|
You are repeating BDSM again. And about impersonating officers, well hehe come on man, that's irrelevant of sex.
This may sound silly and ridiculous to some, but they are very real consequences of what could come up in a society where sex was allowed in public.
Quote:
|
It seems like the issue grows REALLY complicated, REALLY fast, and creates an issue where there are all sorts of loopholes that can be exploited in one way or another. Who gets to sort all this mess out?
|
|
It's not any different from everything else we have to sort out in our society. It's about getting creative and using common sense to solve all these issues, just like we do for driving regulations and so many other things. The key element is to think beyond personal subjective values and try and focus in what makes sense for everyone regardless race, creed or personal trip. It's about creating a space for everyone that is more free and more accepting and yet functional at the same time.
Quote:
|
Seems like it's a lot easier and more fair to everyone to stick with the "Do it in your home or a private area set aside for such things where the general public won't be disturbed by your actions" attitude most Western societies currently endorse.
|
|
Seems kind of a mediocre way to look at things and no it does not seem fair either. I think it's easier to just use our head to solve these issues like we do for everything else. We can not get stuck in outdated oppressive environments just because it’s a pain to change things. Counscious change is what moves things forward.

My argument is that society in general cannot be trusted to rely on common sense and decency towards each other and their environment, as every freedom granted and every restriction imposed almost immediately gets exploited by one group or another. This is because humans by nature are greedy, selfish, and inconsiderate of their neighbors, and almost always are willing to capitalize on themselves and each other for personal gain. The rate of irresponsibility and self-importance increases proportionate to the group. People are like this in just about every aspect of society I can think of, and sex is no different. In fact, I'd say it's a quintessential example because of how easily and extremely it gets abused.

That is exactly my point about sex in public in general. It creates real health and sanitary conditions. Besides, this (even though it's an extreme example perhaps) is exercising government control over a person's rights which the opposing argument here seems to be largely against.

Again, exercising more government control and regulation. Besides that, how is a person just happening by supposed to tell the difference? How are they supposed to react in that situation? Which reactions would be within their legal rights? And again, who determines the standard of what is okay and not okay to do in public? Opening up the door for sex in public but only in certain ways (no doggy style in public but missionary is okay, for example) is allowing SOME people to have rights and others not. Basically it's a form of discrimination. And if you allow SOME to do what they want and not others, the others are going to be justified to challenge, and you get chaos and confusion over what's okay and not okay once again.

Society already has this. Besides your home, there are plenty of clubs in just about every (western) country which already practice this.

Fuck For Forest does this already by doing things like what they did on stage at a festival, and fucking out in the open in the middle of where people are trying to dance or mind their own business at their camp sites. And who knows where else. The need to do it in a public neutral ground space is to satisfy a certain sexual appetite that any old sex cannot satisfy, and it shows no respect for whomever might happen to walk around the corner. If you cannot show other people respect simply by going somewhere where nobody will be bothered, you can't expect society to pander to your sexual appetite, either if they don't want to.

Again, more government control. Who gets to be on the committee that makes the moral decision on that? How is a person passing by supposed to react in the face of something so bizarre they don't know what to make of it? Which actions would be within his legal rights and which would not be?

That's not BDSM, that's role-playing. In itself there's a difference. The "policeman" scenario is quite common in the role-playing fantasy department so it makes a good example. Even the "soldier on muslim woman" thing is not BDSM in and of itself. That's role-playing too and just one of many possible scenarios that could offend someone if seen in on public grounds. I could easily switch the example to something like "cowboy on indian" or "priest on choir boy" and the example holds the same meaning.

It's creating a huge bureaucracy specifically focused on this issue alone that would crowd a country's already crowded legal system in a huge ambiguous moral gray area. It would be expensive to the taxpayer to support all the legal man-hours and legislation required to sort the whole mess out and again who is qualified to make the moral call on what should be allowed or not? When a government begins to discriminate within the gray area of okay and not okay itself, there will always be a group of people who feel slighted and will fight for their rights and freedoms. It's a lot easier to just expect everyone to follow the same regulations.
Also, sex and driving are two completely different things. Driving is essential nowadays to keep society and the economy functioning, whereas sex in public is purely for recreation and enjoyment.
What makes sense for everyone regardless race, creed or personal trip is just to expect everyone to abide by the same regulations instead of creating a discriminatory gray area where group A gets to have public sex the way they want to and group B does not.

Seems fair to me to expect everyone regardless of how they choose to perform sex to follow the same standard. Does it seem fair to you if woman-on-top sex were allowed in public but man-on-top sex would not be?
And again, who makes the moral call? Can you think of ANYONE qualified enough to do it? I can't. It's better for everyone to follow the same standard regardless of their personal taste.
As far as a sexually repressive society, chances are you live in a society with comparatively progressive, liberal and free attitudes toward sex as it is, not only compared to many places in the world today, but compared to just about every society just a few hundred years ago. There are plenty of places in the world where simply advocating such extreme attitudes on a forum can get you in big trouble. If you pull a FFF stunt in those countries you can put yourself in BIG danger. And that's even before the authorities get involved. Chances are you should feel fortunate to live where you do where you can go to a place like a swinger club or a fetish party if you so choose without an angry mob or police busting in and imprisoning or beheading you.
In a society as diverse as ours has become, a mediocre (as in a middle-of-the-road outlook where the same regulations apply to everyone regardless of how they like their sex) is the one that holds the most water. Attitudes of sexual extremism don't take reality into account, there will always be specific groups excluded from your vision, as demonstrated in your answers, and it creates all sorts of moral, executive, and legislative gray areas which will require time, energy and resources to resolve which will inevitably be diverted from real issues which directly impact people's fundamental rights to well-being.
I think you have good intentions, Aluxe, but your stance doesn't hold much water.
And again, I have to re-quote myself for emphasis:
Quote:
| I just don't understand how in a world where so many basic human rights of mere survival (access to food, water, shelter, clothing, health, education, and more) are dysfunctional, hindered, infringed upon, or even outright exploited, people can be more or less blithely passive towards, and focus instead on greater allowance of what is essentially a form of RECREATION which is already allowed within the privacy of your own space. In the face of so many greater human problems which ALREADY EXIST, how can anyone in their right mind not view this sex issue as anything other than a complete waste of time and energy?
Sure, we all have times where we fantasize about "Wouldn't it be cool if the world would just be the way we wanted it?" but wouldn't it be better to get off of our spoiled asses and focus on the REAL issues which would TRULY bring benefit to people and give them REAL rights?
Some people should just get off their high and mighty horses of "enlightenment", take a good, hard look at the world around them, and sit back and count their lucky stars (and thank the societies that built up to and currently support their spoiled lifestyles) that they are in a position and have time to fantasize about decadent sexual idealistic dream worlds when MILLIONS are too busy scratching at the earth just for a couple of grains of rice and sips of brackish, muddy water for themselves and their families. |
|
... and to the end of that last sentence in that quote, I'd like to add, "... while avoiding being killed or worse."

wow,
with the first part of the post i almost thought you finally got it and then the second part of the post again showed me the continuous conformity with the social flow that i am so desperately tired of.
and if there is nobody qualified to do this - then how would you know what are the " standards"?
actually the standards with sex can never be consentually defined.

nothing is fair if it is based on prohibition that is generally defined by an authority. and for everything that is allowed in public, whatever it is, and whatever the society is, you will find a polarity that is not allowed and that can stand up and call for justice.

"Got" what? One thing I'm certain of is that I'm glad I don't live in your ideal dream world. The things alone that you reference in support of your arguments, such as pedophilia and genital mutilation, for starters, are so decadent and outlandish that I wouldn't wish your ideal world on anyone, and I'm very thankful I'm not the only one.
Life isn't fair, and the closest we can come to fairness is to designate a simple, clear cut standard of keep your business to yourself and don't bother people with your choice of recreation who otherwise don't want to be bothered.
Why don't you champion some real causes like the millions who are starving or going without food and shelter, dying of disease and war and all the horrible human atrocities that go with it, instead of wasting your energy vainly trying to rally people behind this foolish, spoiled drivel of a cause? |

i am referencing pedophilia and genital mutilation as support of my arguments?????
wow. another totally distorted statement that is rather annoying me than driving me to an answer. and i am very thankul that i am not the only one who sees how ridiculous your statements are as well. i knew that if i even read one of them and comment it, i would bring to myself nothing else than negativity. first of all, i am not at all saying that pedophilia is okey. nor is sexual abuse, nor is unconsentual bdsm. nothing that represents unbalanced sexual interraction is okey - it means that whatever it is, it has to be wanted by all sides. pedophilia is a very ugly thing but on the other side i personally dont regret even a second with my first much older male partner while i was very young. i was just ready for him. who can say what is right and what not. nobody. it was done by both sides and it was an agreement between grown up souls.
and once more, keep those genital mutilations for yourself, btw dont even know what this is. fria just wanted a link to the public sexual behaviour of our ancestors. and this is what they did too. and they did public sexul initiations as well. you call it pedophilia. they called it rite de passage. some of them even believed that without this rite de passage - the initiation into your life as an adult- the whole life of the person would be incomplete because he will never realize how sacred sex is. the result is the decadent sexual culture of today. fria called this freedom ( the whole porn industry etc) but for me it is really tightening our horizons because we follow like horses always the same standards and dont even dare to break these standards. this is the fastest way to killing our sexual potential.
and still this is waht our ancesters did. you cant close your eyes as if it has never been. and they did sacrifice and bloody meals as well. most cultures did. some tantrics still do. you cant close your eyes. you can, but it will be incomplete view of reality. and if it is wrong, then everything they did in religous context WAS WRONG TOO. religion was wrong.
what is the cause you are talking about? you are talking about fuck for forest and sexual freedom or about the psychedelic vision? because if it the second - no it is just my way of hedonism to do what i believe in. i am a supporter of hedonism.
left the martyrer thoughts lots of years ago after coming back from war situations, but we had the issue in another topic. find it even silly that you ask me the question once more. comes into my perception as if you would search a guilty in me for not going to war situations and not hlping the millions of starving people. i will help only if i have a plan how. and i am slowly but very certain moving towards it. and i find it so extremely easy to put people like you away from my perception and from my way, who call my " vision" foolish spoiled drivel of a cause.
btw i dont bother those who dont wanna be bothered. it is just a question of logical conclusion who decides if a " group" is bothered. in a forum it is logically the owner. in a house as well. but what abut public places? who decides there. who decides in squats that belong to no one. who decides in temporary autonomous zones?. i would suggest no one.

Well, either you are not reading what you are quoting to support your arguments, or you are advocating what you are quoting in support of your arguments.
The following was taken from YOUR POSTS.
On pedophilia:
------------------------------
" i can give you at least ten ancient cultures where sex was performed in public.
http://www2.hu-berlin.de/sexology/ATLAS_EN/html/sex_and_society.html
we start here.
Quote:
“ A young man, nearly six feet high, performed the rites of Venus with a little girl about 11 or 12 years of age, before several of our people and a great number of natives, without the least sense of its being indecent or improper , but, as appeared, in perfect conformity to the custom of the place. Among the spectators were several women of superior rank who . . . gave instructions to the girl how to perform her part, which, young as she was, she did not seem much to stand in need of.” [/quote]
------------------------------
Breeding children in this way is not okay in my book, even if they are raised to think that is okay, and I certainly don't want to live in that society, thank you.
On genital manipulation (maybe you should look it up before quoting it if you don't know what it means.):
we continue about the human festivities in the acient world.
http://www2.hu-berlin.de/sexology/GESUND/ARCHIV/SEN/CH10.HTM#b5-FESTIVALS%20AND%20SEX
Quote:
"Human sexuality may be encountered in rituals, ceremonials, and festivals in a variety of ways: symbolically, allegorically, metaphorically, and in simulated or actual sexual behavior. Ritualized sex may include component attributes of sexuality, such as sperm and blood, genital mutilation or manipulation , symbolic or actual intercourse, or a blending of these."
------------------------------
And then you END THE VERY SAME POST with:
"and unless you have a comment on that, i suggest you stop repeating the same restrictive narrow minded song of pseudo decency.
------------------------------
After that, when I commented on you referencing those things in support of your argument, you said this in defense of your statements.
"this is not advocating sex with children. it is advocating the right of fuck for forest to be and exist the way they are. "
------------------------------
You've also mentioned the Greeks (known pedophiles) in support of your hedonistic ideals.
Now, color me closed minded, but if anybody used pedophilia, genital manipulation, etc. in defense of something I was about, I would be PISSED at that person for sure.
Maybe you should clarify your position a little more and read some of the articles you are quoting and the context in which you are quoting them, because if you don't consider your words and use terms you do not know the meanings of then you are going to make yourself and the people you represent look completely ridiculous.
I'd strongly suggest if you really cared about your position at this point you should just keep quiet and let people like Aluxe do most of the talking, since at least he/she can argue maturely against a point he/she disagrees with and can concede when he is wrong when he feels he has made a mistake.

okey okey. with ppl like you i dont even see even one positive reason of why should i continue. keep your speaches for those who read it, i dont. this was the last time i made this mistake. stopped reading the rest as well. just read the comments of aluxe and found them interesting, not your posts.

and i strongly suggest that you fuck off somewhere in a topic that you have started yourself and thus you can chose what is the subject of the topic, who should be quite and who does the talking.

Yeah then why not bann everything else we do in our society for that matter? Like keep everyone in a prison so nobody will exploit anybody. Axis I think you have to be careful of such philosophy because there is also a positive side to humanity and that is where we should put our faith in. If you put your faith on our negative aspects you might as well give up with humanity.
Quote:

This is because humans by nature are greedy, selfish, and inconsiderate of their neighbors, and almost always are willing to capitalize on themselves and each other for personal gain.

I believe we have a choice. It’s up to us to decide what we want in this world. It’s up to us to decide if we want to support fear based ideologies that put us in a prison or support instead a spirit of awarness and tolerance based on respect, trust and care for eachother. It’s up to us and we always have a choice!
Quote:
|
That is exactly my point about sex in public in general. It creates real health and sanitary conditions.
|
|
Not if done properly and responsibly. Or be specific about what you mean.
Quote:
|
Besides, this (even though it's an extreme example perhaps) is exercising government control over a person's rights which the opposing argument here seems to be largely against.
|
|
Hehe. What? Are you kidding? Dude make no mistake, the government is ALREADY exercising control right now and giving you no choice. And if sex in public would be allowed it does not mean that sex in private would be banned, you would keep all the choices you have at the moment and just get more choices. The regulations are simply so we can make it happen within our society, it’s like the only way to do it. In the world we live we have regulations for everything despite the fact that some of these not always make sense. But you can not just go and cut down a tree in the park or walk in the middle of the freeway. The regulations are simply there so all these things can happen in the first place.
Quote:
|
And again, who determines the standard of what is okay and not okay to do in public? Opening up the door for sex in public but only in certain ways (no doggy style in public but missionary is okay, for example) is allowing SOME people to have rights and others not.
|
|
Axis I think you are getting confused. Regulations should ONLY come in place for safety, sanitary and health aspects. They should NOT be based on merely personal taste or subjective moral or religious values otherwise it would be discrimination. Instead they should be determined from a health and safety point of view, like using standards of hygene that are applied elsewhere in similar ways and that have nothing to do with morals. And for that we have science to help us. So from a safety and sanitary perspective doggy style and missionary are really no different from eachother. But if taking a dump is involved then it is VERY DIFFERENT from a SANITARY perspective. It is not based on the group or person practicing these sexual things but on the sanitary immplications of the piece of turd left on the ground.
Quote:

Fuck For Forest does this already by doing things like what they did on stage at a festival, and fucking out in the open in the middle of where people are trying to dance or mind their own business at their camp sites.
|
|
Were they following people around forcing them to witness what they were doing? If they are allowed on the stage or not is for the organizers to decide. Maybe the other people should mind their own busiess instead of focusing on FFF fucking on the open.
Quote:
|
And who knows where else. The need to do it in a public neutral ground space is to satisfy a certain sexual appetite that any old sex cannot satisfy, and it shows no respect for whomever might happen to walk around the corner.
|
|
Yeah people have said the same things about gay people kissing, it’s exactly the same line of thinking. Hey if somebody wants to be a fully covered nun and abstain from sex and another wants to show only their legs and another wants to kiss and another wants to walk nude and yet another wants to have sex in the open. To each their own! Mind your own business. If they are forcing you to stare at them then you have a right to complain, otherwise look elsewhere or deal with the fact that you share the world with others that may think very differently than you.
Quote:
|
If you cannot show other people respect simply by going somewhere where nobody will be bothered, you can't expect society to pander to your sexual appetite, either.
|
|
Oh so just because gay people bother those around you they should also just go find a private space to kiss or hold hands? Axis you are falling again into the subjective moral way of looking at things. If you have safety issues explain them and be specific. Otherwise what people believe is their business.

Again, more government control. Who gets to be on the committee that makes the moral decision on that?
|

If a fetish is so extreme as to cause danger to the public it would be a question of applying regulations that are based on SAFETY not subjective personal morals. Like imagine somebody who likes to get turned on by exploding bombs. Such a person would be banned from practicing his extreme fetish not because he is weird and people find his views offensive but because of the bombs he ignites. It is a safety issue that stands on its own regardless of personal beliefs. Why? because a bomb can kill people and destroy everything where it ignites, its just a simple fact that does not need to be proven again. Or if a person gets turned on by pissing on people well he has to find a consenting partner to do it with and they can’t do it in public because of the URINE that pollutes the public space. The urine polluting the public space is not just an opinion, it’s a proven reality just like the fact that a bomb will kill people.
And so if people were to have sex in public it would be fair to expect they use a sex matt/cloth under so any fluids that escape don’t pollute. And that would be a regulation based on.. (lets see if you can answer that one)

The "policeman" scenario is quite common in the role-playing fantasy department so it makes a good example. Even the "soldier on muslim woman" thing is not BDSM in and of itself. That's role-playing too and just one of many possible scenarios that could offend someone if seen in on public grounds.

Axis if it’s a matter of safety then apply the necessary regulations but if its matter of subjective personal values then you should not force anything on anybody. It’s as simple as that.

It's creating a huge bureaucracy specifically focused on this issue alone that would crowd a country's already crowded legal system in a huge ambiguous moral gray area. It would be expensive to the taxpayer to support all the legal man-hours and legislation required to sort the whole mess out and again who is qualified to make the moral call on what should be allowed or not? When a government begins to discriminate within the gray area of okay and not okay itself, there will always be a group of people who feel slighted and will fight for their rights and freedoms. It's a lot easier to just expect everyone to follow the same regulations.

I just don’t buy this argument of it’s a pain in the ass and too much trouble. The principle of freedom and tolerance is worth all our efforts because it has implications on everything else. And when you protect one minority you are setting the standards by which other minorities will be protected. And like I explained it is NOT discrimination to apply different regulations for different sexual practices if these are based on safety. Now to force everyone to live by regulations based on subjective religious values then you are discriminating and it’s exactly what we have now. That’s the whole point I am defending in the first place.

Also, sex and driving are two completely different things. Driving is essential nowadays to keep society and the economy functioning, whereas sex in public is purely for recreation and enjoyment.

I think you REALLY undermine the importance that sexuality has in our lives.

What makes sense for everyone regardless race, creed or personal trip is just to expect everyone to abide by the same regulations instead of creating a discriminatory gray area where group A gets to have public sex the way they want to and group B does not.

Yes it would make sense IF these regulations were based on something logical like safety or health. BUT THEY ARE NOT! That’s the whole fucking point. Like hello!!! It’s exactlty what I have been arguing for all this time.
Yes group A wants to have public sex and group B does not. Now tell me who is been discriminated here if we force sex to be private just because of the personal subjective views of Group B?
Now if you want to force sex to be private based on safety or sanitary issues then I am all for it. But prove it! That’s why we have the scientific method to help us. Then truth talks and assumptions and BS walks out the door.

And that is not what is happening. We are been forced to follow the personal subjective standards of “group B” who considers sex a private thing just because of their own personal subjective values that have religious roots. Sorry but you really don’t seem to get it.

I just don't understand how in a world where so many basic human rights of mere survival (access to food, water, shelter, clothing, health, education, and more) are dysfunctional, hindered, infringed upon, or even outright exploited, people can be more or less blithely passive towards, and focus instead on greater allowance of what is essentially a form of RECREATION which is already allowed within the privacy of your own space. In the face of so many greater human problems which ALREADY EXIST, how can anyone in their right mind not view this sex issue as anything other than a complete waste of time and energy?
Sure, we all have times where we fantasize about "Wouldn't it be cool if the world would just be the way we wanted it?" but wouldn't it be better to get off of our spoiled asses and focus on the REAL issues which would TRULY bring benefit to people and give them REAL rights?

Dude our sexuality is like our most basic energy. It’s from where we come from, the very magic that brought us to this world. It is beyond just superficial recreation! It’s highly spiritual and a gift from the universe to make us wholesome, happy and discover the wonders of life. It is beyond what we do with our partner at the bed. Our sexuality is with us in everything we are, in every cell of our being, in our emotions and our feelings and it’s a doorway to higher connections. Maybe that’s exactly why our sexuality has been reppresed, because it is such a powerful force! And think of who is behind it? The church, and our religions which in many ways have proven to be instruments of control that have nothing to do with true spirituality.
I think Login hit the nail brilliantly on the head when he said that if we had a healthy sexuality we would feel less compelled to cover our lack of happiness by other means like money and greed which is what is pushing the world over the cliff. Sex has HUGE immplications in how we live our lives. And if our society does not have a healthy relationship with sex then we are never going to be a healthy society. You simply can not deprive the very feelings and the very energies that nature has given you to be wholesome and happy and expect to be healthy.
And it is very sad to realize HOW MUCH our religions have polluted and transformed sex with all the negative associations they attached to it. So now people look for things that are dirty, naughty and prohibited to get turned on, YES!, because that’s what they have been taught sex is. They need the filth to get turned on because that’s what we have been calling sex so people go to the gutter to look for an edge and get turned on more. So it’s our very own negative attitudes hitting us back, and I don’t know why this all started but we are now caught in a trap where it’s even harder to accept sex. Because we fail to see that the ugly face that we see in sex today and which we want to repress is PRECISELY what sexual repression created in the first place. But it is a result of all the negative shit we were taught, and now the monster looks back at us and we want to repress it even more thus reinforcing all the negative associations. If you can understand this point then you will drop all arguments against sex. You will finally understand that it is a dead end road which is just going to take us further into the mess we are trying to escape from. Yeah, of course people are scared of all these weird fetishes, they do not want their children to see these, some of them are so clearly dark and disfunctional but you have to understand that they only work against the backdrop of a sexualy reppressed society.
So really its not sex that you want to cover up, it’s our own negative associations that we can’t stare at, which makes perfect sense because they are quite ugly sometimes. But for sure the filth is not in our sexuality but in our minds from all we have been taught about sex since we were children by our society. And that in turn is the ugly face of sex we feel ashamed of and which we want to keep from our children, and so we pass on the same associations to them. It’s a fucking trap and a vicious cycle because we feel compelled to repress more but we only feed the ugly obssesed starved monster who we are trying to run from. So repressing it is never going to work. It can’t because that is what created the disfucntion in the first place.
I think If we really had more free and positive attitudes towards sex we would be more prone to look for the more beautiful and wholesome aspects of sexuality. But we have a fucking mess right now and it’s going to be a process to get out of it smoothly. Hehe

| Yeah then why not bann everything else we do in our society for that matter? Like keep everyone in a prison so nobody will exploit anybody. Axis I think you have to be careful of such philosophy because there is also a positive side to humanity and that is where we should put our faith in. If you put your faith on our negative aspects you might as well give up with humanity. |

You're taking my observation to an extreme and I never suggested those things. First, sex isn't "banned". I'm not talking about throwing people in jail for sex, even public sex (with some exceptions such as rape, etc.). I'd love to have faith in the positive side of humanity but when instances like this occur it is almost always the exception, not the norm, and as soon as a person does something significantly positive in the world, there are ten people ready to make a buck off of it. Paradoxically, because of human nature, there have to be regulations on some things. If people were basically good and didn't have a dark side, none of this would be an issue.
Quote:
| I believe we have a choice. It’s up to us to decide what we want in this world. |

I agree, and sadly history shows us a litany of examples of humankind making very poor choices for itself in the name of self-interest.
Quote:
| Not if done properly and responsibly. Or be specific about what you mean. |
|
I've already been specific about what I mean. I agree with this statement, however, again, people can't be trusted to be self-responsible and non exploitative which is why we have regulations on things to begin with.
Quote:
| Hehe. What? Are you kidding? Dude make no mistake, the government is ALREADY exercising control right now and giving you no choice. And if sex in public would be allowed it does not mean that sex in private would be banned, you would keep all the choices you have at the moment and just get more choices. |
|
You always have a choice. Every choice has consequences. Ignorance of the consequences is not a recourse from having to deal with them. (Also it's obvious that if sex in public were allowed that sex in private would not be banned... I'm not sure what you're getting at there.) However this comes back to my opinion that people can't be trusted to make the responsible choices and giving people greater freedoms doesn't make them more responsible by any means. What makes people responsible is when they learn from their own mistakes and the mistakes of those who came before them.
Quote:
| Axis I think you are getting confused. Regulations should ONLY come in place for safety, sanitary and health aspects. They should NOT be based on merely personal taste or subjective moral or religious values otherwise it would be discrimination. Instead they should be determined from a health and safety point of view, like using standards of hygene that are applied elsewhere in similar ways and that have nothing to do with morals. And for that we have science to help us. So from a safety and sanitary perspective doggy style and missionary are really no different from eachother. But if taking a dump is involved then it is VERY DIFFERENT from a SANITARY perspective. It is not based on the group or person practicing these sexual things but on the sanitary immplications of the piece of turd left on the ground. |
|
Morals (or a lack thereof) are always going to be a factor and there's no getting around that.

| Were they following people around forcing them to witness what they were doing? If they are allowed on the stage or not is for the organizers to decide. Maybe the other people should mind their own busiess instead of focusing on FFF fucking on the open. |

Prior consensus is key. If this act were part of the show at the point of ticket sales, and people went anyway, great. If it's a "surprise" thing and the public is cool with it anyway, great. If it's a "surprise" thing and people are angry with it, they have the right to be. It's the same as if I went to see G.G. Allen in concert and in the middle of the show, Rev. Billy Graham came up on stage to give a speech and do prayer.

| You could make the same argument about showing kinky porn on every video screen in Times Square on New Year's Eve if you wanted to. I guess the only "open-minded" thing to do is to watch and stare straight at the ground or up in the sky is "wrong".
Quote:
| Yeah people have said the same things about gay people kissing, it’s exactly the same line of thinking. Hey if somebody wants to be a fully covered nun and abstain from sex and another wants to show only their legs and another wants to kiss and another wants to walk nude and yet another wants to have sex in the open. To each their own! Mind your own business. If they are forcing you to stare at them then you have a right to complain, otherwise look elsewhere or deal with the fact that you share the world with others that may think very differently than you. |
|
That's a good point, but a great many people who think very different from me also share the same common view on this issue. Also, most gay people don't go out every day for the sole purpose of being sexual in front of people. The ones who do (or anyone else who does, for that matter) are dealing with other issues besides their affection for one another. If somebody told me directly, "Yeah, we go out all the time in public mainly to display our sexuality in front of other people," My initial gut reaction would be, "That's silly; you have some serious insecurity issues!"

| Oh so just because gay people bother those around you they should also just go find a private space to kiss or hold hands? Axis you are falling again into the subjective moral way of looking at things. If you have safety issues explain them and be specific. Otherwise what people believe is their business.

I never said anything about gay people. You are the one who started talking about it, not me. I don't feel any different about gay people than anyone else, don't imply that I do. I'm not only arguing the issue purely on health/sanitary issues, I'm also arguing on the moral point of "I don't feel the need to bother you with my recreational activities and I expect the same sort of respect in return."
Quote:
| And so if people were to have sex in public it would be fair to expect they use a sex matt/cloth under so any fluids that escape don’t pollute. And that would be a regulation based on.. (lets see if you can answer that one) |

Don't stoop to Moki's level and start being snide and condescending. I've already said my opinion on what I'd find an accepted compromise regarding public sex and designated areas and regulations. Which were more or less in agreement with you. It's a lot more clear cut that way than the hassle of the issue of sex on neutral public ground which everyone has free access to.

No, I'm not. I'm undermining the importance that recreational public sex has in our lives. Big difference.

I don't presume to know what the universe intended for us. I think the rights of millions to food, water, clothing, shelter, medicine and education, and more, are more important that the rights of a severe minority of exhibition fetishists to have recreational sex according to their desires. I think the fact that we have time to sit around even discussing this issue while millions around the world suffer makes a huge statement on how good we really do have it and also how spoiled, self-absorbed, and decadent we are as a society.

Dear Login, Aluxe, FFF and Tina
Whatever your views on the concept of public sex, and some points raised have been good ones...I am extremely thankfull that it is not the norm, and won't be for a very long time. Be it close minded, a reflection of the cages we live in, an argument for sexual repression....it is just something that doesn't sit well with most of us sheep like conforming individuals and 99% of the world...and THANK GOD for that. I am past the point of trying to come up with educated reasons right now, because this is not even an issue I want to concern myself with.
To liken public sex to freedom of speech and such lofty ideals is just stupid, because SEX is a private thing in this day and age, whether you like it or not. Most basic biological processes are Private and have been since time immemorial, it has nothing to do with rights or freedom, it just has to do with the concept of deal with your biological processes in private. Whatever ancient cultures did, in this day of disease and uber resistant viruses/bacteria I truly believe PREVENTION is better than CURE..and saying that public sex can be safe IF done properly is a huge IF and humans have a track record for not indulging in any freedom responsibly sp i think that while some people MAY have public sex responsibly, many wouldn't.
You want to fuck, minus the consequences and at the same time foist the visuals on the rest of us..SOUNDS IRRESPONSIBLE ALREADY. The responsible thing to do would be to find a place conducive to sex and have it there...wow EVERYONE IS HAPPY...you get to have your sex peacefully, and we get spared the display.
But the moment you try to force this ideal of PUBLIC SEX on the PUBLIC, it won't work in your favour if the PUBLIC is against it. Find a population that is sympathetic to your cause and then fuck in public, simple.
Whether you guys are right or wrong, it doesn't even matter at this point. ALL freedom has it's sets of limitations to prevent abuse, if you don't respect these limitations and wish to call it a farce of freedom so be it, but that in itself is an indication of the unrest that could follow were freedom without any limitations. Freedom extends to oneself, and your personal choices...but the moment you want to engage in a public activity, yes that freedom comes with a huge set of limitations, cause where one person's freedom begins another's end. I think a ban on certain substances is not correct cause that is the state controlling a personal choice that could be exercised in the confines of my home..so that people who do not have to deal with it don't need to be exposed to it...I find a ban on abortion a violation of one's freedom cause those who wish it should be able to dictate what they do with their own bodies, and once again those who do not believe in it need not be exposed to it. But public sex means that those who do not wish it, will still be exposed to it and this is where it stops being OK.
Thus it is easier to do such things in private (or an open area for a specific purpose) where no one gets hurt, no one has to complain, and people can choose to be there or not. I do not understand why this is unacceptable to you guys, it seems pretty fair. Just as they have nudist beaches, and camp grounds so that those who DO Wish to walk around naked are not left out but are afforded a place where they can do as they please, so should people who wish to engage in Public sex go to a sex camp ground or whatever (make one). Put some effort into your cause for public sex and create areas that are for the purpose solely. But to be lazy and say "Hey we just wanna do it everywhere" is a cop out.
People's right to a happy and healthy "sex life" should definitely not be compromised, however engage in your happy and healthy sex life in a conducive area. Fucking on the dance floor is NOT a requirement for a healthy approach towards sexuality, and if that's what you are getting at, I strongly beg to differ because that's a psychological preference and the world does not need to indulge every being in their psychological preferences.
