Should I be with her

With Cialis and Horny Goat weed this can work.

I disagree. Being sexually loose does imply a character defect. It means, at the least, that one hasn't learned self control. Anything goes as long as I feel good about it? No, there are morals, even if folks choose not to live them or believe they should be constrained by them, they still exist.

Now, I'm not a hater. It's OK with me if someone wants to be immoral, just call it what it is and be done with it. Petty justifications are not required, nor is my approval.

Frankly, you don't even have to to look beyond Western culture to see vastly different sets of standards.

True, but saying that avoided me having to wax a long tangent about social constructionism and postmodernism, so I just thought that non-Western thinking would be the quick way to say, "there ain't objective truth in this stuff."

No, not at all. As I said, I'm no hater, people should do what they like as long as they are not victimizing someone.

That being said, however, it is folly to suggest that there is no such things as morals or that morals are floating and variable, depending upon circumstance or whim for application.

People make choices that they feel are right for them, they should just have no delusions about the morality of their actions. Just because one chooses an option, that does not make that option the moral choice, though one may like it the best.

This applies in all aspects of life, including business; but isn't the term 'business morality' an oximoron these days?

I get where you're coming from. I'm curious though. What, by your definition, makes having lots of hot, monkey sex immoral? This is, of course, assuming that the hot, monkey sex isn't actually with monkeys.

I think it comes down to values. Naturally, I want to have as many children as possible with as many attractive, intelligent women as possible but reason, wisdom, and accountability & eventually my bank account tell me, "No! Bad monkey!" But you'll see that I'm right when I say promiscuity is degrading to everyone. It might be ****ing fantastic at the moment, but in the end, it's degrading. Then you get in bondage to it, as an addiction. Very difficult to stop.
When I was married my ex wife and I both wished we were virgins. Of course you can't tell anyone anything. Each has to be his own man, her own woman. Carry on with your sex activities. Just use a condom.

I respect folks right to live the way they please (for the most part anyway) but I fail to see the reasoning behind frequent sex being immoral. Degrading I can somewhat understand because that's a personal judgement. Only an individual can say how something affects them but our buddy above said that it's immoral, which has much wider reaching implications. That's what I want an explanation for.

Not to be snarky, but you are very presumptuous in assumming what I have or have not studied. As it turns out, I have a BA in Theology focused on Eastern philosophy; studied Metaphysics and meditation for over 25 years; and took the old school, 8 year route to becoming a 3rd Level Reiki Master. Of course, I have also studied 'western' philosophy.

So, with that clarification, please tell me of the philosophies and ethical doctrines to which you refer, and how my statement is rebutted by them.

Likely a religious or faith-based reason. No reply?
As someone who used to walk around trying to get his penis wet every other day, but I'm now concerned with my faith-life, all I can say is be careful. With your wallet & your parts. Take it or leave it.
