You're misanthropic, you know that?

People are not sex-crazed, ravenous beasts out to rape each other to death the instant the gate drops. Maybe the reason people go out and get drunk together is because they love people, love others, love the world. They sleep with each other; express that love personally - sometimes it ends up lasting a lifetime; sometimes, like a sakura blossom, it falls away.

This is what people want, it's nothing to do with self-control. Why would anyone want to control such a joyous thing?

Not all, but I'm just going to say that, if I had kids, I wouldn't let them anywhere near you.

Casual sex does lasting emotional harm to most people who participate. Stop trying to sell it as joyous just because it would suit you better if college freshmen fell more easily to cheesy lines about sakura blossoms.

Is there any evidence of this not coming from religious propaganda?

[bretthoerner]

Seriously, what a creepy sentiment.

It's the first cite I found, but if that's not religion-neutral enough for you, I can find plenty more.

Sex causes the release of hormones such as oxytocin. Most people aren't capable, especially when young, of having sex with someone, never seeing that person again, and being okay with the experience.

crosswalk.com - "Your gateway to the bible and christian resources"

I meant the book, not the review, but good call. Okay, another one:

I can keep doing this, you know, given the enormous amount of research that's on my side.

Wow, both a Christian propaganda site and a trashy UK tabloid? It MUST be true!

Peer reviewed study or nothing, please.

[sho]

Surprise!!

[sharkbrainguy]

... could anything on that site be considered religion neutral? The book sounds about as neutral as well.

  Hooked is not an *explicitly* Christian book

emphasis mine

"if I had kids, I wouldn't let them anywhere near you"

Never fear, I don't think there's any danger of your having kids.

Funny you mention children, though. They on your mind a lot, are they? Child molestors often talk about how much they appreciate the little girls' "purity", "innocence", "lack of experience" ...

Just sayin'.

"Casual sex does lasting emotional harm to most people who participate. "

See, you state these things like they're facts, but the funny thing is you're just making them up. I wonder if you even realise that.

"it would suit you better if college freshmen fell more easily to cheesy lines about sakura blossoms"

I'll thank you to not steal my material!
