Overall the middle way (in between ice and boiling water) has an evolutionary comfort level built in.

Everything necessary to survival (be it a pee or an orgasm) has pleasure or ectasy built in.

Moderating that pleasure is what many ancient texts try to explain.

Somehow pleasure has been made evil by most religions. Most of them go overboard. But considering that 3 to 5 thousand years ago most of us were an "ass hair away from being baboons", maybe the teachings were appropriate for the times.



Remember you "you might be a Redneck if"? well...

You might be a Puritan if you suspect someone somewhere is having fun.
