You say people are uptight about sex, but that's not true-- young people are fine with sex. The uptight ones are the adults who ignore it or think their cheap emotional programming will overcome natural impulses.
The question, to me, is this-- does premarital sex, on average, improve the quality of a young person's life? I'd argue that falling in love and social interaction have a great positive impact. Sex-- well, personally, I think it has a psychological cost for very many.
Sorry to jump in the middle of a discussion...I think the impact of sex entirely depends on the emotional make up of individuals....it is emotional dynamite for some and for others just no big deal.
It's not immoral to eat meat, abort a fetus or love someone of the same sex...I think that about covers it
