| | HERPES AND THE IDEOLOGY OF RECREATIONAL SEX |
 | | Popular culture has decided, on the basis of mere collective opinion, that pre-marital sex; extra-marital sex; teenage sex; general promiscuity; homosexuality; pornography and erotica; prostitution; cinema and video-game depictions of sexual violence; etc.; etc.; are either morally adequate, or at least not to be judged, condemned, or in any way censured by society. |
 | | The "consequences argument" (herpes, AIDS, teenage pregnancy, disposable marriages and families, etc.) that refute the sexual revolution should be evident to any thinking person, but one rarely hears the recreational sex concept being challenged--certainly not by politicians or the popular media, and depressingly seldom by religious leaders either. |
 | | This pernicious idea that sexuality is an acceptable form of recreation, outside formally sanctioned and ordered relationships (ie: marriage), is a recipe for disease and social breakdown. |
