Grail and Wand: Ebb and Flow: War On Sex or War On??

In the cover story for the Silicon Valley Metro (May 9), ?The War On Sex,? Palo Alto therapist Marty Klein suggests that both Right and Left are attacking sex as something dangerous and unhealthy.? Whether it?s restricting adult sexual expression or protecting children from supposedly harmful influences, many powerful forces conspire to suggest that sex is principally a threat?not a hope or a joy or a promise?to us all.?

Meanwhile, in the San Jose Mercury News (Sunday, May 13), a letter suggests that once ?the biological unit of reproduction is removed,? marriage becomes meaningless.? ?If two men or two women can marry, then who are we to deny marriage to three or more people who have a ?loving, caring, committed relationship???

Indeed, who are we to deny it?? If it is a ?loving, caring, committed relationship,? why should we deny it?

But, to the letter-writer, such a marriage would mean nothing.? One wonders?or at least I wonder:? If a loving, caring, committed relationship, of whatever configuration, is not holy, what kind of relationship is?

Contrary to what some people believe, we do not require loving, caring, committed relationships to spawn.? Spawning does not sanctify a relationship; love, care, and commitment do.
