 | | So in a culture where people learn to fear their own sexuality, sex appears to require censorship if it is sex for pleasure, healing, or self-expression, and not bounded by love; and if it doesn't require an institution, ritual, or sanctioned person to approve it. |
 | | Such activities declare that aspects of sex such as pleasure, self-expression, and high states of arousal are legitimate, are not shameworthy, and are an integral part of emotional life for one's fellow citizens. |
 | | In the debate over whether a community, local or national, can allow sex to go public, most sexologists and progressives say that sex should be treated like all other classes of activity in a democracy--i.e., restricted only when there is a clear and present danger to some because of the behavior or options of others. |
