    The same could be said of anything - e.g. hobbies, yet sex is isolated as “bad” while hobbies are “good”?

    The continuity of the human species disagrees.

      Are you seriously suggesting that procreation means it’s impossible to have unhealthy attitudes toward sex??

      What a dumb take.

        … what? Is this a bit somehow - to place words into my mouth, then make a judgement as if they were true? Or did you forget the OP, or perhaps not understand it? See, all the things in the second panel are lifted up as being “good” (making friends, health, etc.), but then sex does not appear until the third panel, grouped together with “bad” things, e.g. isolation and drugs.

        I was neither the one who placed sex into the third panel, nor did I agree with the person I was responding to that sex is “bad”, nor did I state that anything at all was unpossible. Rather, I was stating that if sex were bad, the human race would end (ergo it must actually be “good”, and thus it is rather some people’s attitudes about it that do not match the natural world, and should be changed).

        Feel free to block me btw, if you cannot handle this level of discourse.

          So you are saying…nothing?? Just making noise to sounds smart, are you?

          Whatever

          Edit: if this “level of discourse” is what one can expect from you, yeah, please go away…

            I’ve said it twice already but perhaps the third time is the charm: sex is not bad. End of TED talk. (It’s not really complicated at all.)

            Other things that are “not bad” include eating food, breathing air, drinking water, making friends, repairing radiation damage, and all other necessary aspects of life. If we stopped any one of those, the human race would cease to exist.

            Though “porn” is not necessary, nor healthy. “Isolation” is similar. “Depressing music” - now that’s just sad, b/c I love depressing music, but whatever. Anyway, sex belongs in the above list, of necessary-and-fun activities, not with this list of unhealthy things.

            Lust on the other hand… or gluttony… or irresponsibly hanging out with friends to the exclusion of other things you should be doing - ALL of those activities in panel 2 can be corrupted, if you do them improperly, e.g. to excess. Though is porn ever healthy? (I mean one can make an argument… but I sense you are not willing to receive such:-P). So sex should not be in panel 3, along with the activities that are said to be ALWAYS unhealthy, but rather in panel 2, with the things that SOMETIMES can be, but only if you do them “wrong”.

            Really, in the USA we do these kinds of activities as toddlers, as in “which one of these things is not like the other”, and I did not think that this task would be too hard for someone to grasp…

            if this “level of discourse” is what one can expect from you

            It is indeed. You asked, I tried to answer, but I can’t understand whatever is going on inside there. Maybe we’re both just cranky:-P. Also, I’m lazy, so I don’t want to block you, especially now that you asked me to:-P. You will see me all across the Fediverse, spouting my “logic” and “facts” - gaaah, the insanity! :-D
