You say you saw 5 couples having sex? During the entire time on the playa? Wow... out of 40,000 participants doing all kinds of stuff... I think that's a pretty good result you had. Imagine how many people were doing it and you DIDN'T see them. :shock:

Genuinely, I like to watch. Nice to know somebody is getting some. However technically sex in a public space is illegal and you can get busted for it but the agents of legal doings lurking among us when they aren't busting stoners. (Unless you got a good first ammendment lawyer... and yours lovingmaking is a work of art. )

they call themselves 'public safety officers', but mostly all i see them do is roll around on their government issued fourwheelers on the sand getting paid to play john wayne trying to run people out of town

they harass with pathetically predictable intimidation tactics

& their courtesy is hollow
resistance through mass civil disobedience strongly founded upon ahimsa (total non-violence) came to be one of the strongest driving philosophies of the Indian Independence Movement, and has inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.

Sea Lion sex

My 11 YO niece, at Pier 39, SF, turned to me after watching some blubber on blubber, said, "Are they making a baby?"
I said, "what do you think?"
Sez she, "I think they are making a baby."
I said, "Does it matter what I think?"
She said, "They're making a baby."

Kids get the sex thing, they just don't get the adult attitudes. At 8,9 or 11, it is making a baby.

Maybe that is the thing to help make the point. Sex is about procreation, primarily. It is the secondary and social aspects, that need to be taught.
If you tell yer kid sex is taboo, wrong or mysterious, then I can guarantee the first thing that kid will do is attempt sex with someone, or something, when out of your earshot, and you have lost an opportunity to educate.

Sex is great fun, if old enough to understand that fun. It is also a world of responsibility, if that sex leads to its primary goal. THere are 6.5 billion humans on this planet. Sex usually leads to the primary, and that is probably because of a lack of education by parents.

the understanding of the teacher colors the teaching as much as the understanding of the student colors the teaching...

misconstruing the function of life is at crux of humanities woes...

there is soo much that has been taught that needs to be forgotten

[quote="BigCock"][quote="robbidobbs"]In our culture, it's perfectly acceptable to watch someone be shot, stabbed, blungeoned, hit by a car, etc.
Odd that the market for slasher films is teenage girls (no cites, I just read that somewhere).
Last night I watched X-files and people got shot. It was very bloody.

But in our culture, it's not ok to watch two consenting adults making love.

Hmmm.[/quote]

Cmon, who wants to watch someone getting killed live? In a movie maybe, but not live. Some people like watching people get down live. (Whether or not it's "ok." I remember in 2002 there was a camp with a curtained bed with peep holes) There aren't any video stores dedicated to shootings or stabbings, etc. But there are at least 5 stores within a mile of my house dedicated to porno vids.[/quote]

have you seen the "faces of death"-videos? my "friends" loved them when we were teens.. ever driven past a bad accident on a highway maybe? usually you also get a traffic jam on the opposite side, from people breaking and watching, expecially when they pull the bodybags out..

besides that, i love porn, i love sex, i love drugs, i have seen people fucking in clubs as i did myself.. but hey, this is siwtzerland, not america!! and all that on from the age of twelve. which was also the age when i first tried marihuana. i am 32 now, so twenty years of porn, drugs and eventually sex.. and i am a nice person! and to be honest, i am pretty much a kinky nutter. i even take my fetishstuff out on "normal" parties. maybe everyone of us should be a bit more burning for not only one week of the year! maybe then some of us would consider natural things as what they are: just natural! but hey, isnt it easier to go in another country, occupy it, kill their children and call it war on terror? get fucking real..

Instinct is the inherent disposition of a living organism toward a particular behavior. Instincts are generally inherited patterns of responses or reactions to certain kinds of stimuli. In humans they are most easily observed in behaviors such as emotions, sexual drive, and other bodily functions, as these are largely biologically determined. Instinct provides a response to external stimuli, which moves an organism to action, unless overridden by intelligence, which is creative and hence far more versatile.

Step into the seedy underbelly of street gangs, magic, and folk willing to do whatever it takes for a score in Wyrd is Bond, as players portray 'slingers' - magical gang-bangers - who use the tools taught to them by The Alley Star, Hermes Trismegistus, and even the Devil himself!
