I like much of what Vashta Nerada says here, but would add that all cultures should view sex positively. To view it negatively gainsays possibly the strongest single human drive - which gainsaying can only lead to more misery.   I find, however, his or her post of 0424 Mudcat time puzzling. The terminally religious (and misogynistic) seem to assert that a zygote is a life, and on such ground reduce women to vessels to serve that life - which I think is rubbish.

I should also express my liking for much of what Acme says.
