Title question :)

Some do not hate gay people, some forbid trans people, some allow child marriage, some mutilate genitals, some have many wives, some allow masturbation and some try to have sex with incubus

What are your rules?

It is this in my opinion: "the only moral sexual act is natural marital relations open to life."

As far as I know this is a complete rule covering all circumstances of human sexuality. If you want to know, in my religion/opinion at least, whether or not an act is possibly moral simply bounce it off this statement and you're good to go.

I have no religion to hang me up so as far as sex goes anything agreeable between consenting adults is just fine.

Married couples are to remain sexually faithful to each other, and they are not to withhold it from each other. This is what I know so far about the 'rules of sex' in Hinduism.

In fact Paganism is sex positive enough to have books on utilizing it for spiritual practices.

Personally I do not assign moral value to sexual acts. To put it bluntly, I think that killing a kid for fun is vastly more wrong than, say, bonk a sheep.

Now, I do not count genital mutilation as a sexual act. I count them as a cultural trait that is related to religion, despite its ultimately defeat of God's perfect design. Why do people cut little kids penises foreheads if not assuming God's design is suboptimal?

The way I see sex is based on evolution. We do not only bonk to produce new generations, but also to establish a certain level of bond among fellow primates. Like shaking hands, basically. We just have to look at one of our closest primates, the bonobos, to see how sex is not only serving a pure reproduction purpose. Any religious person accepting evolution, will have to explain why our sexuality did not follow through from our closest cousins, like having a nose, two eyes, and all that.

What religion has done is to associate sex with reproduction. And therefore allows, as morally viable, sexual behaviour that is only intended to produce new human phenotypes. I personally believe that this view is superficial, and does not take into account a whole lot of facets that are important for us a species of great apes.

Frankly, I see this as completely immoral. Sex is for much more than just reproduction. And, if people don't want children, they can and should have protected sex.

Nothing my eye, Something for sure
Sex is for falling in love otherwise it's empty and dissatisfying. That's my religion about that.

If you're not falling in love with the person then it's just being used. Cheap love ain't no thrill.
