Sex in America has been elavated to something absolutely sacred in the minds of a lot of people thanks to our Puritan forefathers, but let's face it, it's cheap and animalistic, and becoming more so as time marches on. Doesn't mean I agree with it, but that's the way it is. The first world is predominantly a cheap-thrills society, so it's pretty much inevitable that sex gets taken lightly. The only problems arise when two people disagree on that - it happened in Ronn's article and it looks like it's happening right here in this thread, too.
