Who is anti-sex? I don't know any people who are against sex. Does this question mean something else? Or is this US specific?
- dgabriel 18y agoThis, like many of the other questions in the list, is a very leading question. It appears to coyly approach the topic of legalized prostitution, possibly legal age of consent laws.
- yummyfajitas 18y agoBeing opposed to sex is common on the American left. If you want names, Hillary and Joe Lieberman are two prominent ones. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_mod http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_mod
- jules 18y agoWow. They rerated GTA to 18+ because it contains a sex minigame? Violence is ok, sex is bad!?
- dehowell 18y agoNonsense. You're talking about politicians jumping on a bandwagon that earned them cheap family values points, which is neither surprising, nor indicative of the attitudes of liberals in general.
- hugh 18y agoI don't know of anyone who's actually opposed to sex. Plenty of people are opposed to sex at certain places and times, between certain pairs or groups of people, or in certain styles or orifices, or as part of a commercial transaction, or in front of other people, but I'm pretty sure that being opposed to sex in general is a fairly rare position. (Insert your own "fairly rare position" joke here.)
