Strange<\/i> and dumb<\/i> are reasonably mild terms to apply to this:<\/p>\n

The British government is sending out a different message: Sex can be fun and healthy, for young and old alike.<\/p>\n

In two new leaflets, the National Health Service advises elderly patients that it’s “never too late to experiment” and tells teenagers that sex every day “keeps the doctor away.”<\/p>\n

“Urging them to enjoy their own bodies is a bit like encouraging cows to eat grass or birds to fly,” said the Independent newspaper.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Those excerpts come from this WaPo story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You want my take? No? Then quit reading here.<\/p>\n

So you’re still reading. OK, thanks.<\/p>\n

Urging them to sin against their own bodies is like encouraging cows to eat tansy<\/a> or birds to fry\u2026only worse. Much, much worse.<\/p>\n

“Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body”<\/font><\/b> (1 Corinthians 6:18).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Instead of keeping the doctor away, I thought it brought on the doctors\u2026for treating STDs and for “treating” pregnancy and for delivering babies. But, hey — maybe it doesn’t work in the Mother Country like it does here in the Colonies.<\/p>\n

If you think that’s my Victorian morality showing through, that’s OK. I just as well have it (as long as it’s first Christian morality) since Victoria’s offspring seem to have sprung free of it.<\/p>\n

Look, I know they’re not legislating anything (yet), but I’ve got a question. If you “can’t legislate morality,” can you legislate immorality?<\/p>\n
