[AGL] small furry animals are being killed even as we read this

[Kathy]

Q. Do you know why Baptists don't have sex standing up?

A. They're afraid you'll think they're dancing.


transgressive |transˈgresiv; tranz-| |trønzˌgrɛsɪv| |trøn(t)s 
ˌgrɛsɪv| |tranzˌgrɛsɪv| |trɑːnz-| |-ns-|
adjective
involving a violation of accepted or imposed boundaries, esp. those  
of social acceptability : her experiences of transgressive love with  
both sexes.
• of or relating to fiction, cinematography, or art in which  
orthodox cultural, moral, and artistic boundaries are challenged by  
the representation of unconventional behavior and the use of  
experimental forms.
• Geology (of a stratum) overlapping others unconformably, esp. as a  
result of marine transgression.

So, it seems by this  definition immaculate conception and missionary  
style are the only  non transgressive forms?

salacious |səˈlā sh əs| |səˌleɪʃəs| |səˌleɪʃəs|
adjective
(of writing, pictures, or talk) treating sexual matters in an  
indecent way and typically conveying undue interest in or enjoyment  
of the subject : salacious stories.
• lustful; lecherous : his salacious grin faltered.

promiscuous |prəˈmiskyoōəs| |prəˌmɪskjəwəs| |prəˌmɪskjʊəs|
adjective
1 derogatory (of a person) having many sexual relationships, esp.  
transient ones : she's a wild, promiscuous girl.
• (of sexual behavior or a society) characterized by such  
relationships : they ran wild, indulging in promiscuous sex and  
experimenting with drugs.
2 demonstrating or implying an undiscriminating or unselective  
approach; indiscriminate or casual : the city fathers were  
promiscuous with their honors.


  So the question is, who can define "undue" interest in sex?  the  
Pope or Hugh Hefner or Larry Flynt or John Ashcroft?
By the standards of those days, all woman who weren't saving it for  
marriage were "bad".  Whovever the snitches were were obviously  
judgemental selfrighteous little pricks who's opinion shouldn't be  
given much  value, and who probably weren't getting laid themselves,  
so jealousy probably played a part in their labeling.  Truth is most  
of the ghetto men and the women were " promiscuous" by the standards  
of the day. I was reminded recently that The Ranger once ran an  
article  titled "Has Sex Replaced the Handshake?"  The labels are  
archaic.  Now days even my arch conservative catholic relatives give  
their daughters birth control and don't  expect them to  remain  
virgins until marriage.
