Reply #184: Abstinence

[Aerows]

If it worked, the human race wouldn't be here. Religions of all flavors have pushed abstinence and marriage for millennia. Has it worked yet, and have women and men quit having sex except for procreation?

No, it hasn't worked. Abstinence benefits people that want to look down on other people for having sex and/or procreating, while doing nothing to prevent them from procreating. It benefits no one that could actually get pregnant and is healthy.

Why do you think they hate gay and lesbian people, too? It isn't because we are taking our pleasure, it's because we aren't producing cheap labor to exploit, since they all know abstinence doesn't work. It just creates an easily exploitable underclass, much like vilifying gay people, brown people, "other" people does. That's the goal.
