One only need look at the dreadful state of the American family to realize that the behavior you espouse is self-destructive to the core. What you're describing can't be what a loving "God" intended based on the evidence all around us. Neo–Three times you mention “God” in your comment; to which God are you referring?

As libertarians though we do not believe we have the moral arrogance to prevent the other to exercise their God given right to seek sexual gratification with other people if they so desire. Unfortunately most poeple don't seem to understand the difference between love and sex. Apart from procreation, sex is also intended as one of Gods gifts designed to allow us to enjoy pleasure. There are no rules (except those made by people wishing to control what others do) that say it must only be enjoyed exclusively with one patrner just as there are no rules that say you must only eat at home and never go out to enjoy different food. Love is another wonderful, but IMO far more meaningful, emotion that is often greatly enhanced by such pleasures as eating and sex. Having an affair with someone else need not have any more meaning than going out for something different for dinner tonight. Its fun and makes you feel good but it's just for the moment and you never forget and appreciate good ole home cooking. Variety is the spice of life and our creator designed us to enjoy all that life has to offer. It is only mankind that has come up with rules that say sex must never be enjoyed outside of an exclusive relationship. This is not only contrary to nature but also contrary to the freedom I believe God intended us to enjoy. I have no more interest in who or how many partners a politian has sex with anymore than what they have for breakfast. It does not mean they are more or less faithful to their spouse, love their spouse more or less or will make a better politician than someone who exclusively has sex with their life partner. It means nothing more than the meaning we give it. What matters is how they govern the country and uphold and protect the rights and freedoms of its citizens. How they derive pleasure is none of my concern I love my wife dearly as she does me.

Many years ago, you wrote in one of your books that one should act at all times as if the whole world were watching, even when we're thinking our actions are unobserved. After some serious self reflection, I took that advice to heart and it's make a big difference in the quality and integrity in my life. When people are caught these days, and I used the term people loosely to include American politicians of both parties, they always say "I'm sorry". What they're really saying in the complete, yet unspoken thought is, "I'm sorry I GOT CAUGHT!" I personally have no more compassion or tolerance for human failings among our elected officials. They are expected, or were at one time in the distant past, to be role models and act from a position of superior moral and administrative wisdom. If they cannot keep an oath to their spouse, they cannot be trusted keeping an oath to their country. If the moral foundation of our entire nation is so insidiously rotten and everyone, to the highest office in the land is now so weak that they cannot restrain themselves from engaging in self destructive and compromising acts, at what point can a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah be turned around. Answer..when it's destroyed from it's own unsalvageable poor judgment, spread throughout all classes and sectors of that society, and must rebuild again from the beginning and ground. Robert,

It would be nice if we could all be as mature re these sort of personal failings in public officials, as you suggest. The pubic outcry and buzz re these sorid situations only distract us from focusing on the real issues. Jim P.S. BTW, if I have a 4 hour erection, I'm not calling Ripley's...I'm going thru my rolodex... Good post.
