GN was pointing out how wrong you were, or didn't you get that?

Perhaps this is true. But in your case it isn't. You made some specific assertions about sex and what people should and should not do and you qualified those assertions by saying that animals in nature don't do that, therefore humans shouldn't do it either. But then came a score of quite valid points that negated your assertion (my last one that most animal sex is rape is one such). In logical parlance, this means you got schooled, as in demonstrated you were dead wrong.
So, now to your new assertion, that arguments do not have to be logically sound to be valid. Care to back that up with an example?
Another point missed by @Ahriman is that asserting that something is immoral is a value judgement, not a question of it's validity in reference to nature.
Why is it so?
