"Sex is only signifigant if a person believes it to be so. Plenty of people have casual sex, and to them sex is not a sacred act. You may not agree with them, but that doesn't make them wrong."
I couldn't agree with you more with this quote.

I think that we can all agree that sex is a more sacred act than eating food. The bible teaches this, so I guess it is a matter of beliefs.
