Are you in favor of incest? How about polygamy? Does public indecency appeal to you? Is it ok with you if people parade themselves nude in front of parents and children in public parks? Engage in sexual activity in front of same?

No. (but shouldn't be illegal either).
Sure, if anyone's that dumb they deserve two wives.
Be more specific.
Yes.
Tacky, but yes. If we weren't so wrapped up in sex, fear of it, hiding it, etc... we'd have a lot less problems, IMO.

Only our culture makes sex 'dirty'. If we didn't TEACH that, and ACT like that, then children would think it was "just natural and something that they'd do one day... now where is my toy?"

Am I to take it that you would also get rid of statutory rape laws, including those protecting 14-year-old boys?

Surely you jest. HIDING sex? In a culture where sex of all varieties is omnipresent?

You are mistaken in your belief that license and moral turpitude is compatible with ordered liberty. Long experience has proven otherwise.

    "Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites--in proportion as their love of justice is above their rapacity;--in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption;--in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon the will and appetite is placed somewhere: and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds can not be free. Their passions forge their fetters."

    -- Edmund Burke
