[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of it has to do with America's weird puritanical background. Many European-descended Americans came here to practice essentially extremist versions of religions -- the majority of which were Judeo-Christian.

Judeo-Christian religion originates from a time/place/culture (thousands of years ago, the middle east, tribespeople) where people lived in relatively small groups and individuals' business became the group's business because an extra mouth to feed or infidelity that rocked the stability of the social order could result in life-or-death problems. Therefore, sex was strictly regulated (e.g., circumcision, severe punishments for infidelity, commandments against committing adultery or [i]even thinking about[/i] sexing up your neighbor's wife). Despite having moved on to a world that, thousands of years later, doesn't drastically change if someone sleeps with someone else (thanks birth control, thanks condoms, thanks surplus of food, thanks potable water, etc), we still have these ancient hang-ups baked into our culture.

I'm as "unslutty" as they come -- virgin until I married DH -- but I enjoy sex and don't see why I need to police it on anyone else's behalf, except for my minor children through teaching them the facts about sex and how to make good decisions about it. DH and I took a vow, and I expect him to keep it as an individual (and expect myself to, too) but if we don't, that's between us, since we are the parties involved in our wedding vows!

To try to shame other people for enjoying their bodies seems really backwards to me. As long as they aren't hurting anyone else (I do agree infidelity is unethical and hurtful), they should go for it.[/quote]
