Lots of reasons really, but:How? — Maw
Based on the harm it can otherwise cause.Why? — Maw
I agree with this, but more based on emotional and psychological effects, not so much based on the "instrumentalisation" of sex model you have presented. Talking about "market-value" and some such ignores the fact that, naturally, relationships develop between people based on love, not based on a calculative, methodical approach of obtaining a desired result. The problem in our world is that people have all but forgotten about love - they no longer want to love, instead, they want to have fun, that has become the goal.To encapsulate all of this in a trope: sex is not a toy, it is a nuclear weapon, and should be handled with care. — gurugeorge
Treats the other person as an object (or as a means to an end), and does not accord them the value they deserve (nor you the value you deserve) — Agustino
It cultivates and promotes feelings of lust and selfishness since the only possible motivation to have casual sex is egoism (ie, your own pleasure). — Agustino
Is damaging towards your (and your partner's) possibility for emotional bonding (https://www.thetrumpet.com/7750-the-emotional-corrosion-of-casual-sex) — Agustino
The brain gets used to having multiple partners, and then a relationship is no longer as special - you become less capable of a serious relationship. — Agustino
It damages the loyalty and devotion that could otherwise exist between the partners through sexual bonding. — Agustino
Can there be two Alexanders on Earth or two suns in the sky? (well ignoring binary solar systems for now) No.Is that true? Do you think men should be in charge? — T Clark
For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
Wow dawwwwwg, 11-20 is a lot man!This requires a citation. The average person has around 11-20 unique sexual partners in his or her lifetime (if memory serves), and I sincerely doubt that after merely 20 or so partners, the brain is so radically transformed and immutable so that you can't form a special sexual relationship with anybody. — Maw
No, I've never had sex outside of committed relationships. Nor did my partners for that matter, but then it's only natural that I am attracted to such people given my own views. — Agustino
There are several studies I've linked to in a previous thread, there is evidence on both sides. I base my statements about what I observe in my own soul, and what I've seen in the lives of others. There are some people who cannot have normal relationships, because they never did in the past. They don't know how. Their whole worldview and conception about sex, and its role is affected by their actions.Either by scientific data or personal experience. — Maw
The only 100% method of contraception is abstinence. Therefore, any casual sex risks the possibility of unplanned pregnancy. Under current gynocentric laws in America, women have complete authority on what to do with the baby growing inside them. They can even legally kill the baby. Let's assume that abortion is morally equivalent to murder.
If you have casual sex as a man, you are risking pregnancy. If pregnancy happens, there is a chance that the woman will abort (legally murder) your baby or give birth to it and abuse it/raise it poorly. After all, what kind of good mother would have casual sex? Therefore, by having casual sex, you are risking the murder/maltreatment of your children in exchange for pleasure. I argue that risking the murder/maltreatment of your children in exchange for sexual pleasure is immoral. — Ronin3000
