    well...I just read this

    1. sex is not a gift from god since there is no god. sex is biological reproductive instinct or drive, empowered by hormones & other stuff that create a burning furnace & oven in creatures, driving them like a thirsty stream train

    2. both animals & humans can go crazy due to sex, including engaging in violence. have you not ever seen a female dog on heat & the male dogs ripping each other to pieces fighting over her? if a male dog gets stuck & cannot disengage, the other male dogs start biting chunks out of him

    2. however, animals only generally have sex in season & nature tempers their sexual desires for most of the year

    3. in humans, sexual desire is naturally more regular but, for a human mind, sex can transformed by reason & by maturity. reason & maturity can harmoniously temper sexuality & transform it into spiritual power & compassion

    4. for example, if a man sees a most beautiful woman & is sexually aroused by her, but very soon after learns her husband was a Hells Angel bickie, his reason would temper this sexual urge

    5. similarly, when the love of a family unit is clearly understood, sexual urges towards members of that family will not occur, since reason understands to have an adulterous affair with a family member will damage that family

    6. thus reason functions like this, until it gets more refined, more acute, more insightful

    7. if we examine our society with intelligence, after its 50 year experiment with free-love (due to birth control), do we find human relationships, in general, getting better or getting worse?

    8. if we examine our society with intelligence, after its 50 year experiment with free-love (due to birth control), do we find more sexual crimes or less sexual crimes?

    9. if we examine our society with intelligence, after its 50 year experiment with free-love (due to birth control), do we find more sexual diseases, addictions & disorders or less?
