From: utzoo!decvax!harpo!seismo!rlgvax!thekid Newsgroups: net.singles Title: Toast with a hint of flame. Article-I.D.: rlgvax.260 Posted: Sat Apr 16 15:41:30 1983 Received: Mon Apr 18 07:42:30 1983 I was disturbed by a recent submission, commenting on the fact that this newsgroup was stumbling down the path of vulgarity in the `I always ask, I never ask' controversy. I quote a few lines: "I can't believe that women who sleep around are disturbed by their partners' lack of concern regarding birth control. Moreover, I can't believe that men who sleep with women of this type would bother to ask about birth control..." Give me a break! I don't believe in coyote love myself. I've tried it and I don't like it. (Moral statement, now I feel SO much better.) But just why have you decided that people who treat sex `casually' are lesser human beings for doing so? Condemnation of casual sex from a religious viewpoint is inarguable. If an outside `law' IS in effect, a person is `wrong' for disobeying it. You have made no such justification. You seem to feel that the `wrongness' is inherent and obvious to everyone. "Women of this type?" Why are you so intolerant? I have a friend who sincerely believes that movies are `wrong'. Should he condemn you because you attend Walt Disney flics? Just because you take sex seriously is not a reason for the rest of the world to do so. Final word: I admit it's a sensitive topic; I've written 3 replies and haven't sent one of them. If it offends you attack the subject matter, don't attack the people. thekid ...![ seismo, mcnc, we13, lime ]!rlgvax!thekid p.s. I would also be interested in what you consider `sleeping around'. Two, three, the Dallas football team? p.p.s If anyone doesn't know (I used the word in a previous net.?? submission and several people wrote asking for a definition) `coyote' love is when you wake up in the morning, look down, someone is sleeping on your arm, and rather than move it and wake them up, you chew it off at the shoulder. Heh, heh, heh.
