In college we had to do alot of projects and experiments like this for my Interpersonal Communication class. Reborn is right, you are more likely to get an honest answer by saying you are working on a School Project then if you were just curious.

Reborn- I suggest that next time, you say you are working on a project instead of a “school project” .

thank you rayne, i’ll remember that next time i ask people about sex 🙂 lol, and anyother subject where i get opinions
 
Isn’t it evidence of a rather advanced case of moral bankruptcy that anyone would have to go to a mall and solicit from other people opinions on sex before one made up one’s own mind about it?

Sex is good in that it fulfills a necessary purpose. This purpose is dual. It must be both unitive and open to procreation. Any pleasure that is derived from the activity is secondary to this purpose.

I’m sorry, but that this stunt was one that was not planned out does not exonerate one from a charge of moral bankruptcy. Indeed, that this was a spontaneous occurrence tends to make it worse. I can think of no purpose to be served by asking for stranger’s views on sexuality other than the most prurient. Perhaps we can pray that you walked away from this experience with a view of sexuality that is better than the impulses that led you to do such a thing in the first place.

This was un-called for. There is nothing wrong with discussing sex. His purpose was to see how other people view sex, he was not asking sexually explicit questions, rather what their philosphy was regarding that subject matter. And nowhere does it say that he was using this information to base his decions about the subject matter.

no purpose served in asking a strangers views on there opinion about sex, how about knowing more of what others think…i think thats bieng opened minded on other’s opinions, but i guess it would be easier to not ask than to ask

oh, i thought there was gonna be an actuall quote or something about the truth on this subject,

and what is OP??

OP means original post.

My point is asking others how they view something like sex will not lead to an understanding unless you have a way to evaluate what is true and what is false.
 
and if anyone was wondering, yes im still a virgin and will be till i’m married

Yeah, I read that later, after I asked the question. Still, it’s odd to take it upon yourself to ask strangers questions about sex.

Discussions about sex are proper in a private, family environment. Not in public amongst strangers.

I’m more worried about the fact that you decided on the spur of the moment to do a snap poll of complete strangers in a mall about sex of all the controversial topics you could have picked. You seem to delight in asking for trouble.

Not wanting to discuss sex in public doesn’t make someone Victorian, though thinking that it’s wrong in all circumstances and therefore dirty may be.

We do tend to keep things private that we are ashamed of, to be sure, but we just as much hide those that are valuable and sacred 👍 Most people either are married (or in a marriage-like relationship) or want to be, so I can’t imagine too many who think that it’s wrong in all circumstances, as it’s part and parcel of marriage. That’s my opinion too. It is a good thing, used appropriately and in moderation, like food or alcohol.

okay sex has been around sense forever, its completley natural…why would you be ashamed of it?, honestly. i have no shame in topics like this, because most of it is western belief of whats “right and wrong” which is why nudity is wrong, because in america nudity is autimatically related with sex and pornography

There is a difference between being without shame and being shameless. It isn’t necessarily shame that should cause you to hold your tongue, but supreme respect for sexuality and all it represents. To ask a stranger about sex in the same way that you might ask them what their favorite color is betrays a fundamental lack of respect for what is sacred.

Indeed, you are not a “fundie.” That much is obvious. Having the requisite social graces for being able to act civilly in an online forum does not equal respect for sexuality. So-called gay marriage is not the subject of this thread, though I would suggest that the question itself implies an impermissibly libertine attitude towards sexuality.
