Public sex

[Zazaban]

Sure. I see no issue with it. You don't forbid people with horrible skin deformities from going outside, I don't see how older people doing it would be any more disturbing than seeing somebody who has been shot in the face.

Well at this point I think it comes down to taste, I'm cool with people with deformities or whatever but the thought of them fucking in front of me is......disturbing, call me a conservative all you want that's just how I and quite a lot of the people on this planet feel, I don't have a problem in theory but in practice I'd probably have reservations

[Zazaban]

As I said, not in front of you.

As I said, not in front of you.

I have no further objections

[Zazaban]

Generally, older people are less into that anyway.

[patrickhenry]

ok put your hands up if you want to see this in public?

already one person voted to ban I guess that answers your question.

[Jack Sprat]

Hands up if you want to ban it...

I should point out that I'm half playing devil's advocate here. These sort of grey areas in what ought to be allowed in an anarchist society are quite interesting. In actuality, I'm having some difficulty picturing it.

[AndyMalroes]

I say go for it! Why should us young'uns get all the fun!

[Bodhisattva]

I've been thinking about this whole "sex in front of children thing" that seems to be a point of interest. I think watching a girl deep throat two men is one thing and two people who are "making love" another. Call me a romantic, but I see a distinguishing factor there and a child might be able to pick up on that.

[Zazaban]

Oh yes, there's a difference.

Wait, a woman can't make love to two men at once? And oral sex isn't a legitimate part of lovemaking? Where are these notions coming from?

No, no. Where are you getting this from? I didn't say anything like that. The experience of 'love making' and 'lusty sex', are different. I assumed that the woman sucking on two guys fell under 'lusty sex'. There's no need for the moral outrage.

[Guest]

What moral outrage? I asked a question.

Bodhisattva suspects that a child would be able to detect an intrinsic difference between: 1) a woman giving oral pleasure to two men; 2) a couple making love.

You both suggest that the former is an act of lust while the latter is an act of love. But we know that both acts can be based on either lust or love, so let's compare apples with apples...

Now we discover the implication that it's necessarily possible to distinguish between: 1) a woman giving oral pleasure to two men because she loves them; 2) a woman sucking off a couple of strangers for money to buy crack.

Ditto for the couple: are they making love, or just fucking? How does the child know? Does lovemaking emit a glowing aura around the lovers that children are able to detect?

Assuming no violence, the physical acts, and the sounds of passion, will be similar. There's no reason to believe otherwise. So what exactly is the child supposed to detect?

I'm not suggesting that children are completely dense. If a woman is being raped but doesn't want to frighten her onlooking child, she might put on a brave face; but I wouldn't be at all surprised if the child detected something in her eyes. But lusty sex isn't rape; it's good fun for all involved, and children generally aren't traumatized by adults having fun.

i don't know that.
i think there's a difference between porno sex and lovemaking, a difference visible to the most untrained eye. admittedly porno has a element of coercion, but i'm sure the lustier side of ravishing would be met with cheers of 'get a room'.
