@ Octoberman - That's your definition of marriage and it's honorable. But someone else will have another definition of marriage. I personally know someone who's married and has another lover. All three are not only fine with the relationship they all contribute to it.


I should have made it clear that my remarks were concerning a marriage as it is defined by the church and not merely a legal or civic union.
The religious definition of marriage is, as I said before, not open to personal re-interpretation.

Sorry if that did not come across earlier and I hope it helps clarify my opinion.

Similar statistics in Europe.


Tell that to people in Africa.

And you think there aren't swingers that swing both ways?


First of all, I was obviously talking about OUR culture, Western culture... I am fully aware that the situation in Africa is a different one. (Coincidentally, I've been to Africa less then a year ago.) I am not aware of any high society "swinging" culture in Africa (which does not mean it doesn't exist).

Secondly, of course, there are swingers swinging both ways, and there are swingers swinging both ways that do it unprotected. There will also be drug using, bisexual "no condom only" swingers. But they will be in the minority though; statistics indicate that drug use and unprotected male homosexual sex tend to be high risk factors, not swinging. (Female homosexual sex is a rather low risk factor, by the way.) Heterosexual swinging couples tend to have protected sex outside their marriage and are not a high risk group. That is simply a fact, not an opinion. Higher risk than celibate or monogamous, yes, but still a "not all that much to worry about" risk. I'm just saying as it is.

Sure but the church would also frown on people who have had sex before getting married but most people I know who get married in the church have had sex before marriage. The rules don't change but they aren't being followed to the same extent you might think. But going further would be entering a religious discussion, which is not typically allowed here.

True, but for the purposes of THIS discussion that's going into a different area which is not altogether relevant.
(Not that it's MY discussion--I mean merely in the context of my contribution to it.)

I thought the problem in Africa were the Christians going over their and convincing them not to practice safe sex?

Obviously, to further elaborate this issue, this will sooner or later sway into both political and religious territory. Now, I really enjoy both political and religious/philosphical discussions. There was even a time when such discussions were done regularly even on this board. However, I see why the curators of this message board do not want such discussions any more.

As the guidelines state: "There are countless places online to discuss religion and politics but only a few to discuss film music."
Political and religious discussions tend to be minefields in these waters that lead to ugly mud-slinging and ill-feelings, so I do not wish to push this thread too far into that territory.

Suffice to say: the problems in Africa (which, of course, is a huge continent, with many different countries who face many different problems) are not "Christians going over and convincing people to not practice safe sex". That's a cheap shot, and it is also wrong. Africa faces many problems, but that's not one of them. (Just as a side note: the one Christian denomination that is against condom use, the Catholic Church, is also against sex outside of marriage and divorce. So if you were to follow their rules, then you'd not be in a high risk group for HIV infection.)

Only a guy who has The Starfleet Porpoise Academy logo as his avatar would take this thread into a discussion of something as un-elevating as nipples. smile
