Robert A. Heinlein Quotes on Sex
-
Ben, the ethics of sex is a thorny problem. Each of us is forced to grope for a solution he can live with -- in the face of a preposterous, unworkable, and evil code of so-called 'morals.' Most of us know the code is wrong; almost everybody breaks it. But we pay Danegeld by feeling guilty and giving lip service. Willy-nilly, the code rides us, dead and stinking, an albatross around the neck. You, too, Ben. You fancy yourself a free soul -- and break that evil code. But faced with a problem in sexual ethics new to you, you tested it against that same Judeo-Christian code...so automatically your stomach did flip-flops...and you think that proves you're right and they're wrong. Faugh! I'd as lief use trial by ordeal.
