Watching a movie can not, in itself, result in a pregnancy or the transmission of a venereal disease. Those very real possibilities make sex something that should be done with greater care than watching a movie requires.
That obviously does not mean that one should pay any attention to religious nonsense about sex. But it does mean that it isn't the same sort of thing as going to a concert or movie.
Nice straw man...
I'm not arguing that sex is "the same sort of thing as going to a concert or movie," nor am I attempting to argue that it is without consequence, but that it should have the same moral consequences. In plain words, idiotic fucktards should not be looking down on others based on their misbegotten beliefs about sex.
It does not have the same potential and often actual consequences, so why would the moral consequences be the same? Do you think there are no moral consequences if you get a woman pregnant and she has a child? Should that have different moral consequences for you than going to a movie?
If you go to a movie with a woman, you are not morally obligated to pay child support because of it. Are you saying that if you father a child, you are also not morally obligated to pay child support because of it?
