<<<But in the "real world" the concept that people should be free to engage in the sex act as long as it feels good to them has consequences. Some are obvious -- AIDS, pregnancy. I'm sure the man who has, what, nine illegitimate children so far and is supporting none of them feels strongly that what he does sexually in the privacy of his home is his and his partner's business and none of society's. Unfortunately, he's wrong. Society is paying big bucks for his escapades.>>>
I certainly agree with this and am sure everyone here does. That man isn't behaving 'decently' in any sense of the word.
Steven doesn't, it's true, take arguments on SI very seriously at all. That doesn't extend to his real life 'actions,' about which I know quite a lot. I would be willing to bet my house that there is no more responsible male on SI, and responsible at greater personal cost, than Steven.
I think there is a connection between the two. Steven's life is serious business. Compared to the challenges he rises to every day, SI is a playpen.
If you knew him better, you would admire him very much, Christopher. |
