Alan Goldman And The Morality Of Sex
Many people in society today are having casual sex outside of the marriage more and more. Has sex lost its true purpose and morality? If so, is this correct and morally acceptable? Alan Goldman and Roger Scruton see sex and the morality of sex very different.

No reason to assume that sex is only a good thing when engaged in love and desire. There is nothing wrong with “Plain Sex” between two adults.

Sexual activity was meant for reproduction with someone you love so that you can have a family. We have a lot of children growing up outside of the typical family setting that have siblings with different fathers or mothers. What happened to our family units and values? I also feel that waiting for sex with that one person, prevents so many different diseases. We have so many different diseases anymore today that can all be prevented. Even though there are a lot of different contraception out there that is to help keep from spreading diseases, none of them are full proof. The only full proof is abstinence until you find that right someone. It keeps you, your partners, and your future safe and protects you. You will experience the sexual desire you should, not just empty
