    Has anyone asked the OP if he felt the other guys ball bag smack against his own as they double teamed her from either side?

    As a hetro male I don't think I could ride a tandem with another male...

  • That's not immoral - I just wouldn't be happy. Just because sex means something emotionally (in certain situations anyway) doesn't make it an act of morality.

    It's a componant of a relationship sure, hence its inclusion in divorce, but it doesn't mean its moral.

    Causing other people harm and/or unhappiness is generally considered to be a fairly decent guide to morality (from a humanist viewpoint at least). Any action that has consequences for other people is potentially a moral/immoral act. Sex obviously does have consequences, both physical and emotional so what specifically excludes sex from being "an act of morality"?

    Some stuff...
    See there are things that can be thought but never need to be said out loud. The mechanics of a threesome being one of them. I reckon you need to spend the rest of the day doing the Security Awareness training, or the Diversity thing, or re-hashing your pension options, as punishment.

    Same for DD too for bringing to mind the business of an alien set of plums knocking your own. Gruugh.

    Because it's more complicated than that. morality is this big judgement where things are either good or bad - when clearly it's neither.

    The hurting someone gets complicated, espcially because it is an act between two people that, in isolation, hurts no-one. It's all the emotional baggae that comes with it, and that's impossible to define. Are swingers immoral? Is their sex a bad thing?

    The sex isn't the thing that should be judged - it's the context in which it occurs that should be.

    But the act of sex can cause an issue of morality and can therefore be described as moral or immoral, surely? If we're arguing that sex itself is simply an act and it's the surrounding circumstances that affect its morality, then surely the same can be said of just about any act which some would describe as immoral? If that is the case what is morality in isolation?

    That would be an absolute, objective morality and I'm not arguing for that.

    Indeed, sex isn't necessarily immoral I'm not arguing that it is. Relatively few acts are inherently immoral but many acts have a moral component because we have to weigh up the consequences for ourselves and others of action X vs. action not-X. Whacking someone with a D-lock is a priori immoral but it becomes moral if they are about to shoot someone else.
    The sex isn't the thing that should be judged - it's the context in which it occurs that should be.

    I sort of agree, it's the decision to have the sex that should be judged but it obviously has to be judged in the given context.

    Why man WHY?

    Are you short of SINGLE women in your area?

    Eeeek.

    If I decide to get frisky with a lady, I like to think that that makes me special to her, and vide versa. I'm rather particular about where I stick my bits, I like ladies to earn the right for that and prove their worthiness, and I like my partners to be similarly discerning.

    That's a PhD thesis right there "Nork size and the ontological status of morality"

    Ah! So you're arguing for the non-existence of an objective morality, not a specific exclusion for sex.

    That would make more sense.

    Not if you are battered....

    Wrecked out of your head on Stella - or preferably leffe (three pnts and you are in fighting order - it's great) - you can poke your moral equivalence book reading up your hoop and stand by.
    Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable,
    Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table,
    David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel,
    And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
    There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'bout the turning of the wrist,
    Socrates himself was permanently pissed...
    John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, with half a pint of shandy was
    particularly ill,

    Plato, they say, could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey every day,
    Aristotle, Aristotle was a beggar for the bottle,
    Hobbes was fond of his dram,
    And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, "I drink therefore I am."
    Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
    A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed

    It is really mechanics, or is it really logistics? I have never been able to fathom that one.

    Nice to see that despite the OP binning said burd for getting it on with his co-paramour, (rather than binning her because he was not invited to said getting on), the general population here gets counting "one, two, three,... HEY! WAIDAMINNIT! THREE!" and goes apesh!t.

    Well, morality certainly doesn't exist independent of the mind/brain. Or if it does then we've not found it yet, maybe the LHC will turn it up :D .

    I don't think that means that you can't reasonably make a judgement on other people's behaviour though. Whether unecessary harm/distress was caused/whether the perpetrator would welcome equivalent treatment/whether that would be the action of an ideal agent under no duress etc. are all reasonable frameworks within which to make such a decision. Our perception of morality does seem to have an objective basis in our evolved tendency for cooperation and mutual altruism and our recognition of other people as feeling entities with emotions that are equivalent to ours. So the lack of a completely objective measure for morality (e.g., "that act was 2.73 wrong!") doesn't mean that we're just making it up as we go along, finessing it certainly but hopefully getting closer to the underlying tendencies.

    Getting back to nork sizes
    Einstein was born March 14, 1879. He would be 132 if he were alive today.
    Few people remember that the Nobel Prize winner married his cousin, Elsa
    Lowenthal, after his first marriage dissolved in 1919. At the time he stated
    that he was attracted to Elsa because she was so well endowed... He postulated
    that if you are attracted to women with large breasts, the attraction is even
    stronger if there is a DNA connection. This came to be known as Einstein's Theory of Relative Titty
