Is there a cure for homophobia? Introducing Lovelace......

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

Physicians widely consider anal sex to be a dangerous practice.

Firstly we need some corroborative evidence from medical sources, bearing in mind that not all physicians will necessarily agree.

As for the other activities you mention, they are essentially less satisfying substitutes for the real thing

Are they? On what evidence?

You can only answer that question based on your own experiences and your own experience is entirely subjective to you, and of course [if you have one] your wife. Have you asked her about her feelings on these issues?

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

Exactly so.........
Not all heterosexual couples 'couple' with each other, either. For instance, many women in menopause just cannot cope with coupling, but the lovers can adapt in other ways.

I sometimes wonder if for some, human sexual activity resembles that of birds, a "jump on jump off" approach!

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

Well said!
The OT laws did want to increase the size of the nation quickly, for strength, but so many self-righteous Christians just focus on that which they can accuse and point at.

How many Christians support all married couples having a free year off work, all expenses paid for through taxation? The law is there, to help 'procreate', but so many Christians start screaming about 'tax-dollars' and get upset.

Cherry-picking!

In Judaism sex is something pleasurable and from God and many early Protestant sects had a more relaxed view providing marriage was in the offing.

Some here may have heard of "bundling" or "tarrying". Although the night was supposed to be spent fully clothed and without physical contact, given that the young couple were alone one may safely assume that the "rules" were not always strictly followed.

However, from its earliest beginnings Christianity has always had a bit of an issue with sex and matters of the flesh!

I don't think living Christians transcend any limitations of nature. At all.

I didn't say that Christians do, I said that Christians are expected to, but that said, yes, there are some who meet expectations, at least in part.

You may believe that you transcend after life, but during life?

Thus do many churches teach. The scriptures teach "in this life."

[Mountain Man]

That's probably the Jesus that true Christians believe in, not sceptics ......
The heart symbol......... love and understanding.

True Christians believe in the Jesus in scripture who condemned sin, commanded repentance, and called on us to live righteously, and not a Jesus who gives a smile and a wink and tells us the lie that we're just fine the way we are.

[Mountain Man]

But I don't use that word......... Moral?

Then what is your purpose for appealing to the behavior of animals if not to suggest that those same behaviors are acceptable and therefore moral in humans? I see you really don't like the fact that one can use this same reasoning to defend killing another human, prompting you to attempt to defeat your own argument.

And I have to wonder: do homosexuals really like being compared to animals?

The dangers of anal sex are widely documented and easily found, an exercise I will leave to you.

You ask me on what evidence? Let's just say that personal experience has taught me that the activities you suggest serve to whet the appetite and leave one hungry for the main course.

Yes, to all.
It's as if physicians' opinions are perfect one moment then rubbish the next. All part of the cherry picking characteristics that can be so hard to tie down.

Drag racing is dangerous, MM. Or Indycar racing, or hang gliding....which doesn't make these followings perversions.

Not necessarily if it is in a monogamous relationship and scrupulous hygiene is practised.

But what does your wife think about it?

Acceptable is simply acceptable! How do you dig up that word moral?
Have guns, do you? Do you believe that shooting a person on some situations is acceptable? Or not?

Oh but that is different because the Bible does not mention those activities!

I understand the same contributor has doubts concerning possible risks pertaining to the various Covid vaccinations despite the general medical opinion to the contrary.

Therefore, everything that animals do is acceptable for humans to do? Is this really a position you wish to defend?

And what does "acceptable" even mean in this context if you are not implying a moral component?

That's the straw man version of my position at any rate.
