Last Friday I had to deliver a lecture on an assigned topic, “gender sensitivity, sexuality and sexual rights.” I was feeling uncomfortable about the title, which seemed boring and staid, so I did a quick change. I had a good feeling seeing the new title, projected on the billboard-sized screen of the Philippine International Convention Center: “What’s wrong with safe and satisfying sex?”
The title takes off from sexual rights that have been proposed. These include “choice of partner,” “consensual sex,” “respect for bodily integrity” and others which I brought out in the Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society (POGS) lecture. The last of the 10 sexual rights was “safe, satisfying and pleasurable sexual life.”
These sexual rights are controversial. The mere concept of sexual rights itself is rejected by many, especially those who feel sex should be only for reproduction. The idea that it might be pleasurable is seen almost as dirty and repulsive

I can't believe sexual rights are still up for debate in 2008.

Everyone has his own though about sexual rights, and we should respect that.

the people who think sex is for reproduction they should leave the planet now.
Sex is for pleasure ,thank God for sex and also if it is safe its even better.
Thank God for women , they are the most beautifull creatures in the face of the earth, except the bitch type those should leave the planet too.-

Yeah what fool ever thought that sex had anything to do with reproduction?

Ask a pro-lifer, they seem to enjoy punishing women (just women) for it.
