Public Fornication - Philosophy

September 4th 2006 02:23
From nude in public to going at it like bonobos in public, Adrian's post on sex in public has caused quite a stir.

From the post:

"Many (I among them) would reason as follows: "That couple in the bushes over there are just enjoying themselves. I can understand what their kick is, I can understand the urgency of the desire.

It's a bit harsh that they're arrested, made to stand in court, fined, imprisoned. They didn't hurt anyone, and they didn't do anything immoral."



It's a controversial topic, and the comments have stretched out like novelty toilet paper. From an anonymous commentor:

"About children being offended, seriously, I don't want to explain to my 8 y/o brother why that man is sticking his pee pee into that woman just yet, for his own protection, learning about these things too soon may well cause problems when he grows up."

Myself, I'm in favour of people being able to have sex outside, but I think we have to respect other people's wishes to NOT see it. After all, if I haven't had sex in a long time, I'd be pretty surly seeing all these other people enjoying sexual success.

Ross from AussieCon, posted a rebuttal to Adrian's letter. He says:

"If you think there's more to it and that sex is an integral aspect of bonding strong family ties which in turn build a lasting and meaningful society - you might consider exercising a modicum of self control and restricting yourself to the bedroom."

While I don't agree with Ross, I'm fascinated by the intense scrutiny that this topic has brought on the Orble network.

Cibby, thanks very much for the post of the day vote. It freaks me out how much attention this has been getting, and how critical almost all of the responses have been. I thought we lived in more sex-blase times.

I think you're going to be surprised by how many conflicting opinions there are on this!

Very simple: we're animals and animals copulate wherever they feel the urge.
Amen.

well, the good thing about a network like this is that it's easy to keep a discussion moving. You can post, and cross-post...draw lines in the sand!

What about dogging?
OWWWWWWW!!!
People getting off watching people getting off in a public place who are getting off because they're having people getting off watching them getting off in public.
Whatever floats yer boat ... as long as it's done with discretion ... But then, exhibitionism was never about discretion ...

Well, just like in the bedroom ([link=http://www.slurredwords/net/joining-a-prestigious-club]or in a public garden[/link) I've come late. Better late than never, I guess.

I really should RSS to some of these blogs, but I'm uselessly unreliable with checking my RSS feeds, so in turn it would be pointless. Instead, I'll just comment 4 months down the track.

Oh yeah...good post, Adrian. I like your first name too.
