My belief in sex is to be open about it and if you're going to engage it in be safe about who you have sex with. I agree with Goldman's argument because I do believe in "plain sex", sometimes humans just want to engage, because of the positives that come from sex. Telling humans to control their sexual desire means more than what its said to be. We do know that we just can't have sex with whoever we want, it doesn't work that way at all. But what we do know is that we have self control to not just go out and rape everyone we find sexually attractive. Sure, incest is wrong but the act of having sex isn't and the way Scruton tries to discuss it like something that should be behind closed doors. I have a problem with his argument because he's using love as a way to explain his feelings on sex. If you look at animals, they mate and find a "lover" and reproduce but are not somewhat married. Animals have sex all the time and it's just "plain sex", so I believe that we are no different then animals. We just want to survive and have sex to have fun or to reproduce.

I guess what I would need to understand is people see sex from their own perspective, sometimes freely or religiously. I see why some people see "sex" as a topic that shouldn't be freely discussed because it's personal like using the bathroom but someone's going to bring it up in your lifetime and you must have an open mind to other people's views. I see why Scrunton feels the way he feels because flirting, for example, leads to sex eventually and what if the sex isn't for love, he feels its wrong to engage in sex than. Scrunton believes in controlling your sexual desires but thats not as easy as it seems, that's like not feeding yourself when you stomach is grumbling.
