One night poll

Apropos of this article.

[Poll #701581]

Notes:

• If you're in a monogamous relationship then answer as if you were not - i.e. I'm asking about your opinion about the activity in general not about your current situation.
• "Morally wrong for everybody" means you think nobody should do it. "Morally wrong for you but OK for other people" means you'd think you were being bad if you did it but wouldn't necessarily think the same of someone else doing it. "OK for everybody" means you wouldn't think anyone, including yourself, was being bad for it (even if they themselves would).
• You can think it's distateful, or indication of something missing, without necessarily also thinking it's wrong.

I'm sorry, I think that was unhelpful. Let me rephrase. I think whether things can be wrong in abstract, ie. wrong without harming anyone, is a different and complicated question.

The question I assumed you mean is "Would you have casual sex? Would you council a friend that's it's ok?"

To which my response is "It's not my long term plan, but I would and have when the circumstances are right". Which I think is 'yes'.

The question was certainly meant to include the following:

• Belief that things can be wrong in the abstract even if they don't harm anyone.
• Belief that things can be wrong because a supreme being says so.
• Belief that things can be wrong even if they only harm oneself (in whatever way).

(Obviously there is a risk that "harm" includes moral harm and you end up with a circular definition.)
