Sex is just another aspect of what it is to be human... heck, to be any sort of animal. It's as natural as eating... and today we have shows that depict hosts traveling the country and eating (often to great excess) any greasy, fatty, nasty, unhealthy food they can get their mitts on. No one's attacking them for scandalizing healthy society or corrupting our youth.
I see no reason why sex should be singled out, among all of those other subjects, for censure and ostracization.

Ah but Steven there is a difference between eating and sex as far as the direct effects of the same. When someone eats to excess indulging in unhealthy foods or unhealthy amounts of food their actions have a direct effect only on themselves. With sex on the other hand there is the effect it may have a direct devastating impact on another person or persons. You can't be infected by obesity and its side effects like you can by a std.
