So you're praising the morality of a serial killer, now?
I guess after defending Nazis this is your next step?

What has that to do with anything? Sex isn't a sin, unless you see it as such. You do. That's sad.

Promoting hatred and intolerance against other people is not displaying virtue.

So you're a case of the pot calling the kettle black, is that it? Or are you married? Did you have sex before your current marriage?

@Verv
Sinan immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law.Since I am not of your particularly strange religion, I don't consider sex to be sinful, like some fundamentalist might. Sex is part of being human. It's a natural biological imperative among all living creatures. Therefore, when I had sex before I was married, I wouldn't have considered it sinful. My wife didn't consider it sinful, either, and she's religious(Buddhist).

That's because there isn't anything wrong with it, unless you are part of a self-hating religion.
Watching too much porn is unhealthy. Most people can agree with that. Too much of most things isn't healthy, mind you.
