Yes, your country is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_era Victorian] in its approach to [[sexuality]]. The [[sex]] act, even in its naturalistic flavor, is not loathsome or crude; it is the [[beliefs]] of many centuries of [[mores]], which have resulted in this very unbalanced situation today in your [[culture]]. Even in the European cultures (as compared to more [[tribal]] countries), the appreciation for lasciviousness as recreation is more [[honest]] and therefore less noticeable.

When, let us say, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition prohibition] came into [[existence]] it was unsuccessful in spite of the [[efforts]] to keep [liquid] spirits quelled for [[moral]] purposes. The same is true for [[sexuality]] and [[nudity]]. If it were approached as a [[natural]] and healthy [[endowment]] of [[mortal]] beings, rather than an enjoyment that should not be enjoyed for the sake of enjoyment (which must be wrong because it is enjoyable), we would not be [[suffering]] many of these illnesses today which, I might add, include an abnormal amount of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incest incest] and disgrace upon the many mighty cathedrals and [[institutions]] of [[religion]] for indiscretions relating to a very [[abnormal]] imbalance of appreciation for that which is [[natural]]. I am not eliminating, either, the story of the fig leaf, which somehow puts to [[shame]] the private parts of persons who have somehow caused displeasure to some believed-in [[God]].

I [[hope]] I have not ruffled any feathers here this afternoon with this [[response]], but I am, even so, glad to have had the [[opportunity]] to point out that this [[moral]] value [[judgment]] serves no purpose in [[Our Father]]'s Kingdom, and it does contribute to [[alienating]] brothers and sisters in the flesh through misunderstanding of true [[value]]. Anything further?
