You know what the magic word, the only thing that matters in American sexual mores today is? One thing. You can do anything, the left will promote and understand and tolerate anything, as long as there is one element. Do you know what it is? Consent. If there is consent on both or all three or all four, however many are involved in the sex act, it's perfectly fine. Whatever it is. But if the left ever senses and smells that there's no consent in part of the equation then here come the rape police. But consent is the magic key to the left.

Unfortunately Rush Limbaugh isn't very articulate in these matters.

What he meant to say was SJWs (the rape culture hysterics) have imposed ridiculous standards of what constitutes consent, so for example you have someone like Laci Green saying if you're too drunk to drive you are too drunk to consent to sex.

I must remind you, too drunk to drive is not a lot at all. A glass of wine will do. This is stupid.

Consent however is not the only thing that matters. Some basic rules, not in public, not in front of children.

And you DEFINITELY do not want an anal sex orgy without an condom lying around (actually with many condoms), that's pretty much signing your death warrant. There are less painful ways to commit suicide.

Rush Limbaugh probably meant prostitution as well, honestly I don't agree with that at all, I'm not as socially conservative as he probably is and I'm not willing to entertain the idiocy that because human trafficking exists therefore 0 instances of prostitution are legit.

"How could public sex harm someone besides through prudishness?"

My personal life is far from prudish, but that doesn't mean I welcome those kinds of errr... images at any time of day or maybe even for long periods.

Some of us have kids. On that alone you really can't justify doing it publicly in a town. There's a very high probability someone underage is watching. (And no it's not like the Internet where you need a subscription, need to type in an address or a porn term in a search engine. Parents can restrict that if they want to.)
Some of us have partners we're trying to be faithful to.
Some of us just wanna take a break for whatever reason.

We don't need that kind of "distraction".

IMO, kids should not watch sex because they simply do not understand the purpose and the means of the thing.
They do not understand the means of driving, but they understand its purpose (to get someplace).

Sex is a bit more complicated, what with the gammut of sexual experiences available. What do you think a kid will think if he finds mummy tied up on the bed, with daddy licking away at her nether regions? (I know that's graphic, but I think this is the best way to see why there is a problem.)

As for Rush, if he does not like consent, I encourage every woman he encounters to tie him up and take a strap-on to his arse. Afterwards, he should be a bit more prudent when talking about consent.

"Because fundies hate consent."

I don't actually think they "hate" consent. I think it's more that they simply do not understand it.

My analysis, FWIW:

To the religious fundamentalist, there are things that your deity tells you to do, in other words, they are compulsory.

Then there are other things that your deity tells you not to do. In other words, they are forbidden.

To a religious fundamentalist, the consequence of doing something forbidden is horrifying torture (hell, of one kind or another).

This naturally leads to a "better safe than sorry" mindset, where anything that is not in the first category (compulsory) is automatically and without further thought consigned to the second category (forbidden).

In other words, all acts and thoughts, sexual or otherwise, are either compulsory or forbidden. The concept of "consent" has no place in this worldview.

People flip out over sex and nudity for the same reason that people in the Middle East lose their minds when they see a woman's hair: because they were brought up being told that people resond that way. The scarring of people's minds is the conditioning to see a perfectly ordinary biological process as something horrible. It's one thing to be put off but psychologically scarred? That's conditioning in action. To use our resident literal shitposter as an example, we're put off by pictures of feces and feces porn. I very much doubt anyone is waking up in the middle of the night crying over nightmares because of it or having sudden, debilitating flashbacks, however.

The logical argument against having sex in the street is the same as against shitting there: because it's a public health issue and no one wants to step in it. Not because it's evil or traumatising.

As I said before, that's why you make it a law that you have to clean up afterwards, just as people who walk their dogs do.

@1986838:

"Also constant sexual stimulation diminishes the pleasure to the point where you need to take a break for a while."

That may be true for you, but not for me. Of course, after sexual activity, your body needs a rest (how much differs both between genders and among individual persons) but I have never found the same to be true about my mind.

Even when I'm ill and stuck in bed, and my body wants absolutely nothing to do with sex, I still derive much enjoyment from thinking about it and mentally envisioning it.

"I mean fuck, porn is great and all but I don't want it in my face constantly either."

I love music, but it annoys me when I'm walking down the street and a car, residence, or business is blasting it into the open air. I'm not talking about "my eardrums are bleeding, I'm going to call the cops." It is neither illegal nor causes me physical harm, it simply annoys me. But I recognize that that's MY issue. And I don't get to tell other people to stop doing something just because it bothers me. Unfortunately. ;)
