In the liberal wing of the Religious Society of
Friends, we’re pretty liberal about sex (liberal meaning slightly
different things in those two cases, so not automatically following
one from the other). We aren’t down on premarital sex, we’re fine
with same-sex relationships and sex, and I even perceive a growing
acceptance of, if not always support for, various forms of ethical
non-monogamy (polyamory and suchlike). While we might not be overly
judgemental of casual sex, though, I generally sense a certain
disapproval, a lack of acceptance of it. I think that is driven by
the right motives, there are good reasons that flow from Love for
that attitude, but still I think the conclusion is slightly wrong.
