Any universally "n-positive" statement is going to require clarification, whether we're talking about sex, love, marriage, or chocolate.
There's bad in chocolate??!?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Here's the issue with that for me: who gets to say? If we are giving people responsible education about sex and saying go forth and have sex: be mindful of the consequences, I'm okay with that. But too many institutions want control over the sex individuals have.
Many religions and the current US administration don't want to give people the education they need to act responsibly. To the point of denying people the basic education they need to make informed choices and harming those people in the process. "Abstinence-only" sex ed is like requiring earplugs during music class. You have to talk about contraception.
Well stated.

The nature of sex itself, the act of copulating with another person to the pleasure of both, is good. Beautiful.
I agree with this, but -- we don't have sex in a vacuum. (Though it might be fun if we did.) It isn't just about the moment when the bodies connect. It's about the souls that inhabit those bodies, too, and something can be good for the body but bad for the soul.
The guys on Homicide say "Sex is like pizza. Even when it's bad, it's good."
I think that was said long before Homicide.

Me too, but that was all the stuff they used to cut the actual chocolate with.

I dare you to come up with a single food conversation on this board wherein at least one person has not stepped up and said "Not me, I'm allergic /phobic /a freak with no taste buds /a chocolate bar once bit my sister."

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
Because not all sex *is* good, even among consenting adults.
Not all sex acts are good. But the very nature of sex is good; our bodies, hearts, and minds were meant to do it.

This is very true.
Sad, but true.
