Why are people so bent out of shape about what is natural/unnatural when it comes to sexuality? Did I miss the meeting where we collectively decided to shackle ourselves to our primal past?

There is a tendency as old as civilization for people to think that there was a Golden Age in the past when everybody behaved morally, there was good social order, and icky disgusting things were not done. None of it is true, of course. But people thinking in this framework look at the frankness of modern discussions about sexuality and pine for that mythical Golden Age.

I agree. And what is "natural"? We can find homosexuality in nature, so that's natural. Then again, we can find eating your mate after copulation in nature as well. So why do we humans concern ourselves with how animals have sex? Howzabout consenting adults do whatever they want? Sounds good to me. It's a shame that there are many people out there more concerned with others' misery than their own happiness.

People are bent out of shape about it because modern religion says(best Frankenstein voice) Sex BAD! You did miss the council of Nicaea.

Well the way I see it as long as everyones consenting and not forcing anyone into anything they're not comfortable with then its a okay! I dont mind anyone kissing and cuddling in public but please keep anything beyond that in your own private space... Unless of course getting it on in public places is your bag... (Just keep it out of view of kids and the general public at least).
