....I am missing the point of this. Why does it matter that male and female pares (Ignoring asexual reproduction since you seem to be referring to humans)can create a children? And why does it matter that it goes against the normal thing?
science says that's what we're evolved and specialized to do. It is morphologically correct.
...HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAH....Many cultures had polygamy, including many biblical figures in the case your are a Jebuz nut. May I ask you to name the cultures that had monogamy?
let me rewrite that. only ever having been with virgins who have never done anything and don't have disease will only effect a disease if you contract it by some other means of contact. ...thus it would be better than having orgies with multiple people who have had orgies with other people who have had orgies.
...Since when? I can't think if an STD on the top of my head that is easily treatable by any standards. And as previously stated, polygamy was far more abundant back then then it is now further disproving your hypothesis.
polygamy not in the form of marriage, but in the form of number of sexual partners. I have male and female friends that have had dozens or more partners.
syphilis can be treated w/ a single dose of penicillin in some cases. google it.
other bacterial related diseases are now more manageable
we had a thread up sometime recently about a man being cured of aids.
So you are not, but you are. When you say "I'm not going to" and then "But" just stop there, since you are lying.
oh you... :] you're so good w/ twisting words. I didn't say all homosexuals have orgies. I just said I know of one who advocated a positive position for them that frequents this forum. An individual from a controversial group advocating a controversial subject only furthers stereotypes. Mine was not the position of saying what I believe. I was defining what other people believe and what it is that causes these thoughts. ...somewhat like a homosexual pedophile would make everyone that's not homosexual think that all homosexuals are pedophiles.
...HAHAHAH....No. They just wanted to control people's sex life. Have sex outside of marriage? Stoned. Have sex before you are married? Stoned. Two men have sex? Stoned. Masturbate? God smites that one guy apparently in your mythology, so it is bad. So if this theory is correct, then why would they consider masturbation bad?
are you talking about that one guy that wouldn't impregnate his dead brother's wife? I thought it was customary that a brother takes care of his dead brother's wife and gives her a child to carry his brother's family name if his brother never had a kid. the guy kept pulling out b/c he didn't want to have any kid for his brother even tho I think his deity might've told him to do so.
Isn't that a common misinterpretation? the whole "its better for your seed to lie in the belly of a ***** than it is for it to land on the ground?" or maybe you speak of a different person who gratified himself w/o the help of another. ...although its probably addessed outside that story too somewhere... don't remember.
[quote] Now in the present day we understand things better and can in fact fix a lot of the problems that arise. ...and thus its your prerogative to partake in such things. I generally don't care what you do... just tell me if you have a disease should the need to tell me such a thing arise (it could be a number of things... not just the obvious). so whoever wants to get married let them. its not like a lot of straight people nowadays don't spread all kinds of nastiness around.
Why are you still making a connection between homosexuals and STD's? Seriously, there is no connection there.[/quote]
nothing about my paragraph said anything about homosexuals. I said the threat of stds are lessened b/c we can treat them better. I also said now that we are more aware of how things actually work there is no need for stereotypes and myths as they have all been dispelled...and the "warn me" statement was a general one for anyone male or female. If I become a doctor one day I'd like to know if my patient has hepatitis if they come into my clinic/er all bloodied up. Another example... I wouldn't want someone telling me I was their first person to be with when they've in fact been with 20 other people and have had "
enicillin shots" before.
my overall point was that in a world that knew not how things worked, people who had sex with a lot of people who also have had sex with a lot of people could spread sicknesses that were untreatable at that time.
What "Lifestyle"? Homosexuality? Nope, they are the same as normal relationships. Polygamy? Nope, they are the same as normal relationships, except the male is typically dominant and has a ton of wives, not having sex outside of marriage. I don't see what you are getting this from at all.
having sex with lots of people who have had sex with lots of people who have had sex with lots of people. I didn't say homosexual anywhere in the quoted text you were referring to.
So you have a problem with sex? Why? And as stated, homosexuality doesn't effect STDs, so I don't really get white you are getting at.
I don't have a problem with sex itself. I just have a problem with people not telling people what they have. ...and if you "
artake in the forbidden fruit" of having lots of sex with lots of people then you could contract something that may not really affect you before you spread it around to other people. Homosexuals do not effect stds... the bodily fluids involved might just transfer them. The myth that can get spread is that all homosexuals have wild orgies all of the time b/c of the few that do b/c they're a controversial group... and in their misunderstanding of the people others might believe it. I was discussing a myth. Not my actual belief.
Didn't a lot of these old civilizations you quoted also value virginal women? ...so they wanted people to not have sex outside of marriage. and even if the rules/punishments were a little more lax on men didn't they still want them married first? ...so sex w/in marriage w/o any outside input (exept more wives/husbands maybe (some women share brothers in places where there are few women) would keep them from contracting something (unless they picked it up via contact on an open wound or something)
I was saying that there is some merit to being wary of some sexual taboos. just not all of them.
