	[REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR FAVORITE NET PERSONALITY]

        The bulk of sexual taboos in existance were formulated or can
have their origins traced back to 1) religious teaching 2) highly
restictive cultures where personal freedoms (including sex) were
regulated for the betterment of the leaders of the culture.
	
	In less sophisticated cultures the taboos on or around
sex are either vestigial or non-existant and in no case that
i am aware of do these cultures place a sinful onus or restriction
on sex between consenting individuals.
By consenting I define :
	Two people who wish to have a mutaul sexual realtionship
whether spoke or implied, freely entered into by each for whatever personal 
reasons.
