Sex Negative

Carl Trueman: The attitude toward sex in our secular culture is simultaneously tedious and disturbing … Sex is no longer the consummation of an exclusive bond. Now it is just a form of recreation. A bit like golf, but usually cheaper and generally without the plaid pants.

If someone wants an argument against “ethnical non-monogamy”, it strikes me that one does not even need to attend to the CDC statistics on STDs, which are dismal enough of course. (a promiscuous person has more or less a 100% chance of sleeping with someone who has, or has had, an STD, and the average person coming of age can expect to be infected four times)

Rather, one can simply look at the example Trueman links to. Mom resembles little so much as a female version of Bob Bell’s famous character, and her daughter looks bound for a life of promiscuous misery, too. And her husband seems to be nothing more than her plaything.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
