Kinda like, oh... I don't know... sex?
Am I to conclude that the conservative position is to allow sex in public?
Seriously do you need this explained? It was said in jest but had a huge undercurrent of truth to it.

I think they just meant that, as a percentage of all sex acts, vaginal intercourse is less prominent now than it used to be.

"The result is a sexual smorgasbord that by all appearances has become more satisfying to women. Though men were more likely to report orgasm during vaginal intercourse, women told researchers they were more likely to have orgasms from a variety of sex acts, including oral sex and vaginal intercourse."

I have my opinions about whether or not it's beneficial to society (), but it's my belief that mankind should not allow his species to live like reprobates. There was a time when dignity and self control was the mark, not the extent to which he can push the line of "freedom".

You can still smoke in the comfort of your own home.

Would you mind telling me who is banning happy meals? I can go to my local McDonalds and get one right now.

You can still cook to your hearts content with all the trans fats you want in the comfort of your own home.

Now you have social conservatives that want to get not only into people’s houses but their bedrooms to determine who should have sex with who, who should marry who, and what kind of sex people should have.

Your missing the point. Social conservatives DON"T Care what you do in your own home. Just keep it there please. NO one is trying to legislate your sexual habits.

New study finds Americans are branching out sexually, vaginal intercourse on the decline as other sex acts gain ground

The first comprehensive snapshot of Americans' sexual activity in almost two decades suggests a social landscape changed by HIV and AIDS and by an increasingly open national conversation about sexual acts other than plain old intercourse.

Across the lifespan, Americans report they are masturbating, alone or with a partner, engaging in oral sex and experimenting with same-gender sex more often than they owned up to in the 1980s, according to a study released Monday.
My hunch is that social conservatives won't be happy with this news.
Being happy with the news of others having sex is neither here nor there, I simply don't care. But, I will certainly bring this topic "UP" at my home with the Mrs and suggest that sometimes its okay to keep up with the Jones!

All those items will kill you before your time. Very few people die from engaging in a sex act. Those that do, die with a smile on their face.

Of course, like many social conservatives, I'm sure the line of "freedom" begins just outside what YOU, personally, want or like to do.

Actually they do, it took a Supreme Court decision to strike down sodomy laws in the State of Texas.

Pshaw! Modern Americans have nothing on the Roman empire elites. They were doing animals, multiple partners, all kinds of funky stuff during the last years of their reign. Stuff that would be unheard of even among the most sexually degenerate.
