Some events cheapen sex, an act based on true love

Sex is awesome! Sex is not something you just do in your spare time with anyone you want.

With the recent events like The Vagina Monologues and the Sex Faire, it seems that many believe sex is something not special, but rather something that should be tried out with all our friends.

To me, this makes sex cheap, nothing more than going to the bathroom. Look at our society today. Sex is used for instant pleasure. Sex is abused by companies like Playboy and Hooters, all so they can make a few bucks.

Worst of all, sex has become something our children no longer see as special and scared. Sex should be something special and intimate between two people who truly love each other, two people who want to live the rest of their lives together in good times and bad.

These people would want to cut their arms off for each other, if it came down to it. They would take care of the other if one got sick and was going to die.

A discussion about sex is fine, but a one — way conversation about the jokes of the vagina is not a discussion.

Rather, it is all part of the destruction of the once "special" and "intimate" sex. The Sex Faire is not an open discussion about sex.

It is an all out Sex-with-everyone Faire controlled by extreme feminists who have little value on the intimacy and sacredness of sex.

Perhaps the little value on the intimacy and sacredness of sex is one reason for the rampant spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

Let's have a real discussion about sex.
