What is immoral about casual and friendly sex between adults?

Would it be immoral for a married man to have sex outside of marriage without his wife's knowledge?

It depends on the conditions of the marriage. Cheating is wrong, but in open relationships why should it be a problem?

If they have casual sex the casual sex is immoral. If they have casual sex how many other major sins do they commit?

What's morally wrong with casual sex?

For example, regardless the religion and lack thereof most people have a general consensus murder, abuse, and rape is wrong.

But casual sex?

Hormonal birth control is more certain and accidents still happen. Not tossing a coin for HIV. Nope, not me. But then it isn't a question to me because I have morals.
That's a bit "holier than thou," your statement that "I have morals." You have those things that YOU think are moral, but that not everybody agrees with. Of course, you must assume that you and only you have the correct morals because, I guess .... well, for whatever reason you suppose that.

Here's a little something to ponder, though -- there are millions upon millions of young people alive in this world today who will eventually have to find their own relationships. And that means that every single one of them, without exception, will eventually wind up in a sexual situtation with somebody with whom they never did it before.

Life goes on...

Check the Abrahamic religions. God forbade it. No, you don't need to know why.

It sure would, but I would not be surprised if some atheists on this forum said otherwise. :emojconfused:

Sheesh? Shoot the atheists again

Take a look as US divorce statistics, bible belt states show the highest rate of divorce for infidelity than anywhere else.

Also highest for teen pregnancy

Also highest for stds

But why is cheating wrong in a traditional closed marriage? Especially if someone only wants part-time gay sex, once in a great while.

Same thing that's wrong with masturbating all by yourself, wondering why your holy book says stupid things, and eating pork and shrimp -- God hates it, for reasons known only to himself.

The husband and wife have made an agreement. Breaking that agreement is wrong.

Consider, if one partner wants to play away, should not the other partner have equal freedom's or is the marriage build not only on deception but on hypocrisy too?

This statement is going to require an entire thread of its own, which I intend to start tomorrow. If I do it right (fat chance! :rolleyes:) I might start a debate for the ages.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid it's going to bounce back to how atheists can't accept God's revelation because of...arrogance? Ignorance? Don't they go together?

Well, marriage also suggests we are to love and cherish another, but you see couples get into heated disputes every so often (fights), which is an obvious break in constant 'cherishing'... So temporary marital breaks and remendings are good for one aspect but not the other?

...That doesn't make sense.

No. Hormonal birth control is safer.

I didn't say I was. I only meant I have higher moral standards.

Unless hormonal birth control has a perfect success rate of 100% (which it doesn't), then it is not more effective than PrEP.

You don't know what that person's moral standards are so you can't say.

Crazy thing is that the Bible does not even condemn maturation. They just massively contort Onan's purported 'offense' to support that claim.
